LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  COMMERCE  AND  LABOR, 


Sm; 


Bureau  of  the  Census, 
Washington,  D.  C.,  December  21,  1912. 


I have  the  honor  to  transmit  herewith  the  Abstract  of  the  Thirteenth  Decennial  Census,  with  supplement 
for  the  state  of  Illinois.  The  volume  is  divided  into  two  sections,  the  first  relating  to  the  United  States  as  a 
whole,  to  the  different  states,  and  to  the  principal  cities;  and  the  second  relating  to  the  state  of  Illinois,  its 
counties,  cities,  and  other  civil  divisions.  In  condensed  form  the  first  section  contains  the  principal  statistics 
gathered  at  the  decennial  enumeration  of  1910  on  the  subjects  of  population  (except  occupation  statistics), 
agriculture,  manufactures,  and  mming.  In  the  second  section  of  the  volume  the  same  subjects  are  treated  with 
greater  detail  for  the  state  of  Illinois,  and  the  material  here  presented  embraces  all  of  the  census  results  to 
be  published  concerning  that  state,  its  counties,  cities,  and  other  civil  divisions,  except  as  to  occupations. 

Other  editions  of  the  Abstract  are  being  issued  with  supplements  relating  to  the  other  states  and  to  the 
District  of  Columbia,  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and  Porto  Rico,  respectively.  The  various  editions  are  identical,  so  far 
as  the  first  section  is  concerned. 

Respectfully, 


Director  of  th  e Census.

INTRODUCTION. 


SCOPE  AND  CHARACTER  OF  THE  REPORT. 

The  present  volume  gives  a report  in  condensed  form 
of  the  Thirteenth  Decennial  Census  of  the  United 
States,  taken  in  the  year  1910.  It  covers  the  four 
principal  branches — Population,  Agriculture,  Manufac- 
tures, and  Mines  and  Quarries — and  is  complete  as  to 
all  the  subjects  comprised  imder  these  four  branches, 
except  the  subject  of  occupations  and  one  or  two 
minor  inquiries  of  the  population  schedule,  the  data 
for  which  have  not  yet  been  fully  tabulated. 

Most  of  the  results  of  the  census  for  individual 
states  and  for  the  coimtry  as  a whole  have  been  pub- 
lished from  time  to  time  in  the  form  of  press  notices 
and  preliminary  bulletins,  but  the  present  report  is 
the  first  general  publication  covering  all  topics. 

Combination  of  condensed  summary  with  detailed  state 
'presentation. — For  a group  of  statistical  inquiries  cover- 
ing as  many  subjects  as  the  decennial  census  of  the 
United  States,  an  exhaustive  report  giving  results  for 
the  smaller  geographic  units,  such  as  counties  and 
minor  civil  divisions,  needs  for  its  presentation  a series 
of  bulky  volumes.  Such  a report,  however  valuable 
in  libraries  and  reference  collections,  is  inconvenient 
for  general  use,  because  the  main  results  of  the  census 
must  be  picked  out  from  a mass  of  geographical  detail 
and  at  the  same  time  a person  who  wishes  complete 
statistics  for  his  own  state,  county,  or  city  is  obliged 
to  search  through  several  volumes.  The  Bureau  of 
the  Census  therefore  has  prepared  the  present  volume, 
which  assembles  in  one  place  all  the  general  results  of 
the  census.  It  presents  statistics  regarding  popula- 
tion, agriculture,  manufactures,  and  mines  and  quar- 
ries for  the  United  States  as  a whole  and  for  indi- 
vidual states;  and  statistics  regarding  population  and 
manufactures  also  for  the  principal  cities. 

This  volume  includes  a supplement  for  the  state  of 
Illinois  and  is  intended  for  distribution  in  that  state. 
The  supplement  contains  all  of  the  details  published 
by  the  census  for  counties  and  other  subdivisions  of 
the  state  regarding  population,  agriculture,  and  manu- 
factures. Statistics  for  the  state  as  a whole  cover  the 
same  subjects  in  somewhat  greater  detail,  and  also 
mining  industries.  Editions  for  distribution  in  other 
states  will  contain  similar  supplements  relating  to 
those  states. 

The  puz’pose  of  the  report  is  thus  to  combine  in  one 
volume  so  far  as  practicable  the  advantages  of  a con- 
densed treatment  with  those  of  an  exhaustive  treat- 
ment of  the  census  results.  Many  persons  desire  gen- 
eral statistics  for  the  United  States  as  a whole,  for  the 
states  as  its  primary  subdivisions,  and  for  the  princi- 


pal cities  of  the  country,  but  the  interest  of  any  one 
person  in  local  details  does  not  as  a rule  extend  beyond 
the  state  in  which  he  resides.  The  combination,  there- 
fore, of  a condensed  census  report  and  a state  supple- 
ment will,  it  is  believed,  meet  the  needs  of  by  far  the 
majority  of  those  who  are  interested  in  census  results. 

Limitation  of  term  “ United  States.” — The  area  of 
enumeration  of  the  Thirteenth  Decennial  Census  in- 
cluded, besides  the  United  States  in  the  ordinary 
understanding  of  that  term,  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and 
Porto  Rico.  Other  outlying  possessions  and  depend- 
encies were  not  canvassed.  The  totals  presented  for 
the  United  States  do  not  include  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and 
Porto  Rico,  except  w'hen  expressly  stated.  The  exclu- 
sion of  these  outlying  possessions  from  most  of  the 
tables  and  discussion  rests  on  the  obvious  differences 
as  respects  population  and  social  and  economic  condi- 
tions between  these  distant  territories  and  continental 
United  States. 

Grouping  of  states  in  geographic  divisio'ns. — Almost 
all  the  facts  presented  in  the  tables  and  discussed 
in  the  text  of  this  volume  are  given  for  each  state  as 
well  as  for  the  United  States  as  a whole.  Because, 
however,  of  the  large  number  of  states,  and  for  other 
reasons,  it  is  extremely  difficult  to  exhibit  the  broad 
geographical  conditions  regarding  population  and  pro- 
duction by  means  of  comparisons  among  individual 
states.  In  addition,  therefore,  to  the  presentation  of 
statistics  by  states,  this  volume  gives  statistics  for 
nine  groups  of  states,  which  are  designated  as  geo- 
graphic divisions.  The  states  which  constitute  each 
division  can  be  found  in  any  of  the  general  tables 
and  can  be  seen  at  a glance  on  the  accompanying  map. 

This  plan  reduces  the  comparisons  necessary  to  a 
general  understanding  of  the  geographic  differences  in 
conditions  to  a number  which  can  be  readily  grasped. 
The  states  within  each  of  these  divisions  are  for  the 
most  part  fairly  homogeneous  in  physical  character- 
istics, as  well  as  in  the  characteristics  of  their  popu- 
lation and  their  economic  and  social  conditions, 
while  on  the  other  hand  each  division  differs  more  or 
less  sharply  from  most  others  in  these  respects.  In 
forming  these  groups  of  states  the  lines  have  been 
based  partly  on  physical  and  partly  on  historical  con- 
ditions. These  nine  geographic  divisions  are  some- 
times grouped  in  the  text  tables  into  three  gi’eat  sec- 
tions— the  North,  which  includes  the  New  England, 
Middle  Atlantic,  East  North  Central,  and  West  North 
Central  divisions;  the  South,  which  includes  the  South 
Atlantic,  East  South  Central,  and  West  South  Central 
divisions;  and  the  West,  which  includes  the  Mountain 
and  Pacific  divisions.

INTRODUCTION. 


The  f!;rouping  of  tlie  states  in  geographic  divisions 
has  facilitated  a geographical  rather  than  an  alpha- 
betical order  in  the  tables  which  present  the  results 
for  individual  states.  The  advantage  of  this  geo- 
graphical order  lies  in  the  greater  ease  with  which 
conditions  in  contiguous  states  can  be  compared. 

Statistics  for  urban  and  rural  communities. — Cities 
represent,  in  comparison  with  the  remainder  of  the 
country,  a distinct  type  of  economic  and  industrial  life. 
This  fundamental  distinction  between  the  economic 
activities  of  urban  and  rural  districts  brings  with 
it  certain  marked  differences  with  respect  to  the 
composition  and  characteristics  of  the  population. 
As  the  cities  are  very  numerous,  and  as  they  contain 
often  a large  part  of  the  total  po])ulation  of  a state, 
these  differences  can  not  be  readily  perceived  by 
comparing  the  statistics  for  individual  cities  with 
those  for  the  states.  For  convenience  of  comparison, 
therefore,  the  more  important  statistics  regarding  the 
number,  composition,  and  characteristics  of  the  popu- 
lation have  been  presented  separately  for  urban  com- 
munities as  a group  and  for  rural  communities  as  a 
group.  In  drawing  this  distmetion  all  incorporated 
places  (including  New  England  towns)  having  a popu- 
lation of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more  are  considered  as 
urban,  and  the  remainder  of  the  country  as  rural.  A 
discussion  of  this  classification  is  found  m Chapter  1. 

Statistics  concerning  the  urban  as  distinguished 
from  the  rural  communities  are  given  in  many  of  the 
tables  by  states,  but  the  more  detailed  statistics  as 
well  as  the  text  discussion  regarding  the  differences 
between  the  two  classes  of  communities  are  confined 
to  the  United  States  as  a whole  and  the  geographic 
divisions.  A further  analysis  of  the  urban  population 
is  given  in  some  of  the  tables  by  classifying  the  cities 
according  to  their  size.  This  grouping  of  the  cities 
would  have  little  significance  in  the  case  of  many  indi- 
vidual states,  because  of  the  small  number  of  larger 
cities,  but  is  of  much  interest  in  the  case  of  the  geo- 
graphic divisions. 

In  addition  to  statistics  for  urban  communities  as  a 
class,  figures  are  given  throughout  the  chapters  on 
population  and  manufactures  for  the  more  important 
cities  iudividually.  For  the  larger  cities  the  tables 
generally  give  the  same  details  as  for  the  states.  For 
smaller  cities  the  statistics  are  presented  in  more  con- 
densed form. 

Comparative  and  derivative  figures. — Both  in  the 
general  tables  and  in  the  text  discussion  an  effort 
has  been  made  to  enhance  the  value  of  the  statis- 
tics for  the  census  of  1910  by  the  introduction  of 
comparative  figures  for  earlier  censuses,  and  by  the 
presentation  of  important  ratios,  averages,  and  per- 
centages. The  full  significance  of  census  data  is 
brought  oxit  only  by  comparisons  between  different 
censuses  and  between  different  classes  and  communities 
for  the  same  census,  and  comparisons  based  upon  abso- 
lute numbers  are  usually  much  less  instructive  and 


less  readily  grasped  than  those  based  upon  percent- 
ages and  averages. 

Text  discussion  of  tables. — The  general  aspects  of  the 
statistics  presented  in  tabular  form  are  briefly  dis- 
cussed in  the  accompanying  text.  This  explanatory 
text  serves  the  purpose  of  calling  attention  to  cer- 
tain important  results  of  the  census  inquiry.  It  is 
not  intended  that  this  text  shall  present  an  exhaustive 
analysis  of  the  statistics.  In  the  main,  therefore,  the 
discussion  is  confined  to  the  facts  disclosed  by  the 
census  concerning  the  United  States  as  a whole  and 
the  geographic  divisions,  with  only  occasional  reference 
to  the  figures  for  individual  states  or  cities.  This 
general  discussion,  however,  should  serve  as  a guide 
in  the  interpretation  of  figures  for  such  smaller  geo- 
graphic units,  and  should  likewise  be  useful  in  pre- 
venting erroneous  conclusions  which  might  occasion- 
ally be  drawn  from  the  consideration  of  an  isolated 
table,  without  taking  into  account  its  relation  to  other 
census  data. 

In  the  presentation  of  the  results  of  the  census  by 
subjects,  the  text  and  tables  relative  to  any  subject 
have  been  treated  as  a unit,  the  tables  being  either 
inserted  in  the  text  or  placed  immediately  after  it. 
Tliis  represents  a departure  from  the  practice,  followed 
in  many  census  reports,  of  printing  the  general  tables 
at  the  end  of  the  volume  and  the  text  comment  at 
the  beginning,  but  it  is  believed  to  effect  a distinct 
gain  for  those  who  consult  the  volume  to  study  a given 
subject.  At  the  same  time  those  who  merely  refer  to 
it  for  some  particular  figure  will  readily  find  it  with 
the  aid  of  the  table  of  contents  and  the  index. 

Maps  and  diagrams  have  been  employed  in  this  vol- 
ume to  present  graphically  some  of  the  more  important 
facts  ascertained  by  the  census  enumeration,  and  have 
as  far  as  possible,  like  the  tables,  been  printed  in  im- 
mediate connection  with  the  discussion  of  the  subject 
to  which  they  relate. 

Index. — It  will  be  recognized  that  the  separate  facts 
treated  in  this  volume  are  so  numerous  that  the  prep- 
aration of  a complete  index  both  by  subjects  and  by 
geographic  units  would  be  impracticable  and  of  doubt- 
ful utility.  The  table  of  contents  at  the  beginning 
of  the  volume  will  serve  the  needs  of  those  who  are 
interested  in  the  broad  general  treatment  of  any  of 
the  topics  included  within  the  volume.  To  meet  the 
needs  of  those  who  will  use  it  mainly  as  a work  of 
ready  reference,  an  index  has  been  prepared  which, 
under  each  of  the  four  main  heads  of  the  census — 
Population,  Agriculture,  Manufactures,  and  Mines 
and  Quarries — gives  an  alphabetical  list  of  the  topics 
covered  by  the  tables,  and  an  indication  of  the  classes 
of  geograpliic  units  to  which  the  figures  given  relate. 
Those  who  wish  some  items  of  information  relative  to 
some  particular  state  or  city  can  readily  find  it  by 
looking  up  the  index  references  for  the  class  to  which 
it  belongs,  cither  “states”  or  “cities,”  as  the  case 
may  be. 


INTRODUCTION.

Character  of  the  state  supplement. — The  method  of 
presentation  of  the  statistics  in  the  Supplement  fol- 
lows closely  that  in  the  main  part  of  the  volume. 
Here,  as  in  the  Abstract  proper,  the  four  subjects — 
Population,  Agriculture,  Manufactures,  and  Mines  and 
Quarries — are  covered.  Detailed  figures  are  given  for 
population  and  agriculture  by  counties  and  for  popu- 
lation and  manufactures  by  cities.  The  tables  con- 
tain numerous  comparative  and  relative  figures,  and 
the  text  discussion,  which  for  the  most  part  is  con- 
fined to  the  statistics  for  the  state  as  a whole,  will 
aid  in  interpreting  the  figures  for  its  subdivisions. 
The  method  of  arranging  the  statistics  of  population 
and  agriculture  for  the  counties  differs  from  that  at 
previous  censuses,  in  that  all  the  data  concerning  each 
county  are  presented  in  a few  columns  instead  of  being 
distributed  by  subjects  among  a number  of  distinct 
and  widely  separated  tables.  Statistics  of  population 
for  cities  are  presented  in  similar  form. 

Comparison  with,  previous  census  abstracts. — While 
the  present  condensed  report  of  the  Thirteenth  Census 
bears  the  title  “Abstract  of  the  Census,”  it  differs  in 
important  respects  from  the  publications  of  previous 
censuses  bearing  the  same  name.  The  Abstracts  at 
previous  censuses  were  merely  reference  books  of  sta- 
tistical tables  relating  to  the  United  States  as  a whole, 
the  states,  and  principal  cities.  They  contained  no 
text  whatever,  maps  and  diagrams  were  wholly  lack- 
ing, and  the  tables  presented  only  a very  limited 
amount  of  comparative  matter.  The  absence  in  these 
earlier  Abstracts  of  any  matter  corresponding  to  the 
Supplement  rendered  it  a work  of  general  reference 
only,  and  not,  as  the  present  volume,  a work  of  both 
general  and  local  reference. 

ORGANIZATION  OF  THE  THIRTEENTH  DECENNIAL 
CENSUS. 

The  permanent  Census  Bureau. — The  methods  of 
collecting  and  tabulating  the  statistics  of  the  Thir- 
teenth Decennial  Census  were  substantially  similar 
to  those  employed  in  the  Eleventh  and  Twelfth 
Censuses.  The  Thirteenth  Census,  however,  was  the 
first  taken  since  the  organization  of  the  permanent 
Bureau  of  the  Census.  At  every  prior  census  an 
entirely  new  central  organization  had  to  be  formed, 
as  there  were  no  permanent  officials  or  clerks  who 
continued  in  office  during  the  interval  between  the 
decennial  censuses.  By  virtue  of  the  act  of  March  6, 
1902,  a permanent  Bureau  of  the  Census  was  created 
in  the  Department  of  the  Interior,  which  bureau  was 
subsequently  transferred  to  the  newly  created  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce  and  Labor.  One  of  the  chief 
objects  of  this  legislation  was  to  permit  the  retention 
in  the  service  of  a certain  number  of  persons  familiar 
with  decennial  census  work,  but  a further  object  was 
to  provide  an  organization  for  the  collection  of  certain 
classes  of  statistics  during  the  interval  between  the 
decennial  censuses.  These  intercensal  investigations 


included  some  which  had  not  been  previously  under- 
taken by  the  Federal  Government  at  all  and  some 
which  had  been  carried  on  by  other  bureaus  of  the 
Government.  They  also  included  certain  topics  which 
had  previously  been  investigated  in  connection  with 
the  decennial  census,  but  which  were  not,  by  their 
nature,  essential  parts  of  such  a census,  and  wliich 
tended  unduly  to  complicate  the  work  l)oth  in  the  field 
and  in  the  office. 

General  provisions  of  the  Thirteenth  Census  act. — The 
permanent  census  act  of  March  6,  1902,  however, 
did  not  contain  the  special  provisions  of  law  nec- 
essary for  the  conduct  of  a decennial  census.  The 
Thirteenth  Decennial  Census  was  taken  by  virtue  of 
the  act  of  July  2,  1909,  entitled  “An  act  to  provide 
for  the  Thirteenth  and  subsequent  decennial  censuses.” 
This  act  designated  the  three  years  from  July  1,  1909, 
to  June  30,  1912,  as  the  “deceimial  census  period,” 
and  provided  for  an  expansion  of  the  force  of  the  per- 
manent bureau  in  Washington  during  that  period  and 
for  the  creation  of  a special  field  force  to  collect  the 
census  statistics. 

The  Thirteenth  Census  act  provided  that  the  decen- 
nial census  should  cover  the  four  main  subjects  of  Pop- 
ulation, Agriculture,  Manufactures,  and  Mines  and 
Quarries.  Of  these,  the  subject  of  Mines  and  Quarries 
had  not  been  covered  by  the  census  of  1900,  but  a 
special  census  of  mines  and  quarries  had  been  taken 
for  1902  under  the  provisions  of  the  permanent  census 
act.  The  Twelfth  Census  had  covered  the  subject  of 
Mortality,  but,  as  mortality  statistics  are  collected 
annually  by  the  permanent  Census  Bureau,  the  subject 
was  omitted  from  the  Thirteenth  Census. 

A list  of  the  principal  official  positions  provided  by 
the  Thirteenth  Census  act  and  of  the  persons  who 
filled  them  during  the  Thirteenth  Census  period  is 
given  on  another  page.  The  position  of  assistant 
director  and  one  of  the  positions  of  chief  statistician 
were  an  addition  to  the  positions  existing  under  the 
permanent  census  act.  Provision  was  also  made  for 
an  appointment  clerk  and  a secretary  to  the  director, 
for  an  increase  in  the  number  of  chiefs  of  division  from 
eight  to  twelve,  and  for  a large  increase  in  the  clerical 
force  in  Washington. 

Collection  of  statistics  of  population  and  agriculture. — 
The  statistics  of  population  and  of  agriculture  (except 
part  of  those  relating  to  irrigation  which  were  collected 
by  special  agents)  were  collected  by  a force  of  super- 
visors and  enumerators,  while  the  statistics  of  manu- 
factures and  of  mines  and  quarries  were  collected  by 
special  agents  or  by  clerks  detailed  from  the  office. 
The  number  of  supervisors  of  the  census  was  330.  In 
general,  each  supervisor  had  jurisdiction  over  the  ter- 
ritory of  one  congressional  district,  but  in  the  states  of 
Massachusetts,  Connecticut,  and  Rhode  Island,  and  a 
number  of  the  larger  cities,  a single  supervisor  had 
charge  of  the  work  (in  New  York  City  there  were  two 
supervisors,  one  for  Manhattan  and  Bronx  Boroughs, 


16 


INTRODUCTION. 


and  Olio  for  the  other  three  boroughs) . The  supervisors 
were  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  United  States 
by  and  with  the  consent  of  the  Senate.  They  were 
paid  $1,500  each  for  their  services,  plus  $1  for  each 
thousand  inhabitants  enumerated  under  theii'  du’ec- 
tion.  The  average  population  of  most  of  the  super- 
visors’ districts  was  somewhat  over  200,000,  wliile  the 
most  populous  district,  the  state  of  Massachusetts, 
had  more  than  3,000,000  inhabitants. 

There  were  in  all  about  70,000  enumerators  of  poj)- 
ulation  and  agidculture.  They  were  selected  by  the 
supervisors,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Director  of 
the  Census.  Candidates  for  the  position  were  subj ected 
to  a practical  examination,  and  the  ratings  given  by  the 
supervisors  to  the  candidates,  as  well  as  their  selections, 
were  carefully  reviewed  in  the  Census  Bureau. 

The  censuses  of  agriculture  and  population  were 
taken  as  of  the  date  April  15,  1910.  Enumerators  in 
cities  of  5,000  inhabitants  or  more,  where  the  work 
was  practically  confined  to  population  statistics,  were 
requfied  to  complete  their  canvass  within  fifteen  days 
after  that  date;  but  the  enumerators  in  the  smaller 
towns  and  country  districts,  partly  because  of  the 
greater  area  which  they  had  to  cover  and  partly  be- 
cause they  collected  statistics  of  agriculture  as  well  as 
of  population,  were  allowed  thii'ty  days.  In  the  larger 
cities,  and  in  some  instances  elsewhere,  the  supervisors 
were  allowed  special  agents  to  assist  in  instructing 
and  supervising  the  enumerators. 

Enumerators  were  in  general  paid  piece  rates,  from 
2 to  4 cents  per  name  for  the  population  census  and 
from  20  to  30  cents  per  farm  for  the  agricultural  census. 
In  sparsely  settled  sections  per  diem  rates,  ranging 
usually  from  $4  to  $6,  were  paid.  Enumerators  were 
required  to  bear  their  own  expenses  of  transportation 
and  subsistence.  The  average  amount  received  by 
enumerators  on  piece  rates  was  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $4  for  each  day  actually  employed;  the  aver- 
age total  compensation  of  enumerators  in  the  city 
districts  was  about  $50,  and  in  the  country  districts, 
about  $75. 

Collection  of  statistics  of  manufactures  and  mines. — 
Except  in  a very  few  sparsely  settled  sections  the 
supervisors  and  enumerators  had  nothing  to  do  with 
the  census  of  manufactures  or  of  mines  and  quarries, 
the  schedules  for  these  subjects  being  collected,  as 


already  noted,  by  special  agents  or  by  clerks  detailed 
from  the  Census  Bureau.  The  statistics  related  in 
general  to  the  calendar  year  1909  and  were  collected 
during  the  spring  and  summer  of  1910.  The  special 
agents  had  varying  terms  of  service,  ranging  usually 
from  about  two  months  to  about  six  months.  Their 
pay,  in  some  cases  on  a piece  basis,  ranged  from 
about  $3  to  $6  per  day,  in  addition  to  travel  and 
subsistence  expenses  when  they  were  away  from  their 
headquarters. 

Office  force  and  methods  of  tabulation. — The  com- 
j)ilation  of  the  statistics  of  the  deceimial  census 
required  a large  addition  to  the  force  of  the  Census 
Bureau  in  Washington.  The  additional  clerks  and 
subclerical  employees  were  appointed  on  the  basis  of 
a competitive  examination  by  the  Civil  Service  Com- 
mission, the  appointments  being  apportioned  among 
the  states  in  accordance  with  their  population.  The 
total  force  employed  at  different  periods  of  time  varied 
greatly,  the  minimum,  representing  the  permanent 
force  of  the  bureau  at  the  beginning  and  close  of  the 
decennial  census  period,  being  about  650,  and  the 
maximum,  in  the  fall  of  1910,  about  3,800. 

The  statistics  regarding  the  population  were  tabu- 
lated by  a punched  card  system.  Under  this  system 
a card  is  prepared  for  each  individual,  on  winch  the 
facts  as  to  sex,  race,  age,  marital  condition,  place  of 
birth,  and  the  like,  are  indicated  by  the  punching  of 
appropriate  holes.  These  cards  are  then  sorted  accord- 
ing to  classes  by  sorting  machines,  and  the  holes  repre- 
senting the  various  characteristics  are  counted  by 
tabulating  machines.  Electric  contacts  tlirough  the 
])unched  holes  determine  the  groups  into  which  the 
cards  are  sorted,  and  similar  electric  contacts  operate 
the  counters  of  the  tabulating  machines.  On  account 
of  the  complexity  of  the  statistics  required  each  card 
must  be  sorted  several  times  and  run  through  the  tabu- 
lating machines  several  times.  The  tabulation  of  the 
statistics  of  population  in  the  present  report  represented 
the  equivalent  of  handling  once  on  the  sorting  and  tabu- 
lating machines  more  than  700,000,000  cards. 

The  statistics  of  agriculture,  manufactures,  and 
mines  and  quarries  were  tabulated  for  the  most  part  by 
means  of  ordinary  adding  machines,  no  use  being  made 
of  the  punched  card  system.  The  schedules  were  first 
sorted  by  hand,  according  to  the  desired  classes.

NUMBER  AND  DISTRIBUTION  OF  INHABITANTS. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  presents  in  condensed 
form  the  main  results  of  the  Thirteenth  Census,  which 
relate  to  the  number  of  inhabitants,  and  their  distribu- 
tion over  the  territory  of  the  United  States. 

The  tables  show  the  number  of  inhabitants  enumer- 
ated in  each  state,  county,  and  city  or  incorporated 
place  of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more.  For  the  states 
comparative  figures  are  given  back  to  the  first  census 
m 1790;  for  counties  and  cities  the  comparison  is  con- 
fined to  1910,  1900,  and  1890. 

In  connection  with  the  population  of  states  and  cities 
considerable  attention  is  given  to  the  increase  of  the 
population,  especially  in  the  last  decade.  A table  is 


also  presented  showing  the  population  for  apportion- 
ment purposes,  which  according  to  the  Constitution 
excludes  Indians  who  are  not  taxed. 

The  chapter  shows  further  the  distribution  of  the 
population  between  urban  and  rural  communities, 
together  with  the  growth  of  population  in  urban  and 
rural  territory.  It  also  further  distinguishes  the  urban 
population  by  different  classes  of  communities  grouped 
according  to  size.  The  importance  of  the  suburbs  of 
the  larger  cities  is  shown  in  the  calculation  of  what  are 
designated  metropolitan  districts,  including  the  urban 
population  residing  within  approximately  10  miles  of 
the  cities  having  over  200,000  inhabitants. 


POPULATION  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  AND  OF  STATES  AND  TERRITORIES. 


Area  of  enumeration  in  1910. — The  Thirteenth 
Census  of  the  United  States  was  taken  by  the  Bureau 
of  the  Census  as  of  April  15,  1910.  The  total  area 
enumerated  included  the  United  States,  the  territories 
of  Alaska  and  Hawaii,  and  Porto  Rico.  The  enumera- 
tion also  included  persons  stationed  abroad  in  the 
military  and  naval  service  of  the  Government  (in- 
cluding civilian  employees,  etc.),  who  were  specially 
enumerated  through  the  cooperation  of  the  War  and 
Navy  Departments. 

Table  1 gives  the  total  population  for  the  area 
enumerated  in  1910.  The  corresponding  census  figures 
for  1900  are  also  given  for  purposes  of  comparison. 


United  States. — Unless  otherwise  expressly  stated, 
the  term  “United  States,”  wherever  used,  either  in 
text  or  in  tables  throughout  the  abstract,  means  the 
United  States  exclusive  of  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto 
Rico,  or  any  other  outlying  possessions.  The  term, 
in  other  words,  is  synonymous  with  the  term  “Con- 
tinental United  States,”  which  has  sometimes  been 
used  in  other  census  reports.  On  account  of  the 
wide  difference  in  conditions  as  between  the  United 


The  rate  of  increase  from  1900  to  1910  was  20.9  per 
cent  for  the  total  area  of  enumeration  and  21  per  cent 
for  the  United  States.  It  should  be  noted  that  this 
table  does  not  cover  all  the  outlying  possessions  of 
the  United  States.  Including  the  population  of  the 
Pliilippines  and  other  possessions,  the  population  living 
under  the  American  flag  is  approximately  as  follows:

States  as  thus  defined  and  its  outlying  possessions,  it 
has  been  deemed  best  in  general  not  to  include  statis- 
tics for  the  latter  in  the  same  tables  with  statistics 
for  the  former. 

The  population  of  the  United  States  in  1910  was 
91,972,266.  This  represents  an  increase  during  the 
past  decade  of  15,977,691,  or  21  per  cent,  over  the  pop- 
ulation in  1900,  which  was  75,994,575.  The  rate  of 
increase  was  slightly  greater  than  from  1890  to  1900.

In  considering  the  changes  in  population  as  reported 
by  the  census  it  is  to  be  noted  that  Indians  and 
other  persons  in  Indian  Territory  and  on  Indian  res- 
ervations were  enumerated  for  the  fu’st  time  in  1890, 
so  that  the  figures  for  that  census  are  not  strictly  com- 
parable with  those  for  1880  and  preceding  censuses. 
To  show  correctly  the  rate  of  increase  of  population 
from  1880  to  1890  it  is  necessary  to  ehminate  325,464 
Indians  and  other  persons  from  the  figures  for  1890, 
which  leaves  a population  of  62,622,250.  This  figure 
shows  an  increase  over  1880  of  12,466,467,  or  24.9 
per  cent. 

The  evidence  is  clear  that  there  was  a marked 
deficiency  in  the  enumeration  of  the  population  in  the 
Southern  states  in  1870,  resulting  in  an  understatement 
of  the  increase  from  1860  to  1870  and  an  overstatement 
of  the  increase  from  1870  to  1880.  There  is  no  means 
of  ascertaining  accurately  the  extent  of  the  deficiency, 
but  an  approximate  estimate  of  the  true  population 
in  1870  was  made  in  the  census  report  of  1890  (Popula- 
tion, Part  I,  pp.  xi,  xii,  and  xvi)  by  which  the  popu- 
lation in  1870  was  placed  at  39,818,449  instead  of 
38,558,371.  Using  this  figure  the  increase  of  1870 
over  1860  would  be  8,375,128,  or  26.6  per  cent,  and 
the  increase  of  1880  over  1870,  10,337,334,  or  26  per 
cent. 

Summarizing,  it  may  be  said  that  the  population  of 
the  United  States  showed  appro.ximately  an  increase 
of  one-third  during  each  of  the  seven  decades  from 
1790  to  1860;  of  one-fourth  during  each  of  the  three 
decades  from  1860  to  1890;  and  of  one-fifth  during 
each  of  the  last  two  decades,  1890  to  1900  and  1900 
to  1910. 

Divisions  and  states. — The  population  of  the  United 
States  by  divisions  and  states,  with  their  rank  ac- 
cording to  population,  at  each  Federal  census  from 
1790  to  1910,  inclusive,  is  shown  in  Table  5,  on  pages 
24  and  25.  This  table  shows,  in  addition  to  the  popu- 
lation of  the  United  States  proper,  that  of  Alaska, 


Hawaii,  and  Porto  Rico,  and  the  number  of  persons  in 
the  military  and  naval  service  stationed  abroad. 

The  following  table  shows  the  per  cent  of  the  total 
population  of  the  United  States  in  each  geograplfic 
chvision  at  the  censuses  of  1910,  1900,  1890,  and 
1850,  the  latter  being  added  as  representing  condi- 
tions shown  by  the  first  census  taken  after  the  last  of 
the  important  accessions  to  the  territory  of  the  United 
States  had  taken  place.

The  growth  of  the  population  of  the  United  States 
by  divisions  and  states  in  the  last  20  years  is  shown 
in  Table  4.  The  accompanying  map  shows  the  per 
cent  of  increase  of  the  population  in  each  of  the  states 
during  the  last  decade,  different  rates  of  increase  being 
indicated  by  differences  in  shading. 

The  table  and  ma])  show  that  there  were  1 1 states  in 
wluch  population  increased  more  than  50  per  cent 
between  1900  and  1910,  as  follows:  Washington,  Okla- 
homa, Idaho,  Nevada,  North  Dakota,  New  Mexico,  Ari- 
zona, Oregon,California, Wyoming,  andMontana.  Four 
divisions — the  Pacific,  Mountain,  West  South  Central, 
and  Middle  Atlantic — increased  in  each  of  the  last  two 
decades  more  rapidly  than  the  country  as  a whole.  With 
one  exception  (the  West  South  Central)  these  divisions 
with  a high  rate  of  increase  from  1890  to  1900  grew  stiff 
faster  from  1900  to  1910,  and  divisions  with  a rela- 
tively low  rate  of  growth  in  the  former  decade  grew 
stiff  more  slowly  in  the  latter  decade.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Apportionment  of  representation. — Table  6 gives  for 
1910  the  jK)[)ulation  of  each  state,  exclusive  of  In- 
dians not  taxed,  who,  according  to  the  Constitution, 
are  not  to  bo  included  in  the  population  forming  the 
basis  of  the  apportionment  of  representatives  among 
the  several  states.  The  population  of  Arizona  and 
New  Mexico  is  not  included  in  the  main  table  but  is 
added  as  an  appendix.  These  territories  had  not  yet 
become  states  when  the  apportionment  act  of  1911 
was  ])assed,  though  provision  for  their  representation 
was  made  in  the  act.  Now  that  they  have  been  ad- 
mitted as  states  the  total  apportionment  population 
of  the  states,  exclusive  of  Indians  not  taxed,  and  not 
counting  the  Distiict  of  Columbia,  is  91,569,325. 

As  the  count  of  population  is  made  primarily  for 
the  purpose  of  fixing  the  membership  of  the  House 
of  Representatives,  under  the  provisions  of  section 
2 of  Article  I of  the  Constitution,  as  modified  by 
section  2 of  Article  XIV  of  the  Amendments,  a state- 
ment is  given  in  Table  7 of  the  number  of  Representa- 
tives assigned  to  each  of  the  states  by  the  Constitution 
in  1789  and  by  the  several  apportionment  acts  from 
the  formation  of  the  Government  to  the  present  time. 
The  dates  of  the  apportionment  acts  and  the  ratio  of 


population  to  each  representative  under  said  acts  are 
also  given  on  page  27. 

The  membershi])  of  the  House  of  Representatives 
was  originally  fixed  at  65,  under  the  provisions  of 
section  2 of  Aiiicle  I of  the  Constitution. 

The  apportionments  of  Representatives  in  Congress, 
under  the  first  six  censuses — 1790  to  1840,  inclusive — 
were  made  by  Congress,  each  by  a separate  act. 

The  law  for  taking  the  census  of  1850  (act  of  May 
23,  1850,  9 Stat.  L.,  428),  which  was  intended  to  be 
permanent,  presented  a rule  of  apportionment,  fixed 
the  number  of  members  of  the  House  at  233,  and 
directed  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  thereafter  to 
make  the  apportionment.  The  apportionment  under 
the  census  of  1860  was  also  made  under  this  law,  but 
Congress,  on  March  4,  1862,  fixed  the  total  number  of 
members  at  241,  and  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior 
apportioned  the  new  quotas  to  the  states. 

The ' apportionments  from  and  after  the  census  of 
1870  were  made  by  Congress,  each  by  a separate  act; 
hence  it  may  be  assumed  that  the  power  conferred 
on  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  by  the  act  of  May 
23,  1850,  was  repealed  by  implication.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS-POPULATION. 

AREA  AND  DENSITY  OF  POPULATION. 


Area. — At  the  First  Census,  in  1790,  the  United 
States  comprised  substantially  the  territory  between 
tlie  Atlantic  Ocean  and  the  Mississipj)i  River  except 
Florida,  representing  a gross  area  (land  and  water  sur- 
face) of  892,135  square  miles.  The  United  States, 
with  its  outlying  possessions,  now  comprises  a gross 
area  of  3,743,306  square  miles,  or  more  than  four 
times  the  area  in  1790.  The  successive  accessions  of 
territory  were  as  follows:

According  to  the  census  of  1910,  there  were  in  the 
United  States,  on  the  average,  30.9  inliabitants  to  each 
square  mile  of  land  area,  or  nearly  seven  times  the 
number  per  square  mile  shown  for  the  much  smaller 
area  of  1790,  and  nearly  three  times  the  number 
shown  for  1860.  The  decrease  in  the  average  number 
of  inhabitants  per  square  mile  at  the  censuses  of  1810 
and  1850  was  due  in  each  case  to  large  accessions  of 
thinly  populated  territory  during  the  preceding  decade. 

The  relative  density  of  population  of  each  state  of 
the  United  States  in  1910  is  exliibited  by  the  map  on 
the  opposite  page,  while  Table  1 1 shows,  for  each  geo- 
graphic division  and  state,  the  population  and  land 
area  in  1910  and  the  population  per  square  mile  at 
each  of  the  last  three  censuses. 

In  the  order  of  density  of  population  the  geographic 
divisions  ranked  as  follows  hi  1910:  Middle  Atlantic, 
193.2  inhabitants  per  square  mile;  New  England,  105.7 ; 
East  North  Central,  74.3;  East  South  Central,  46.8; 
South  Atlantic,  45.3;  West  North  Central,  22.8;  West 
South  Central,  20.4;  Pacific,  13.2;  Mountain,  3.1. 

Aside  from  the  District  of  Columbia  there  were  10 
states  m which  there  was  in  1910  a population  per 
square  mile  of  more  than  100.  These  states,  in  the 
order  of  density  of  population,  arc  as  follows:  Rhode 
Island,  Massachusetts,  New  Jersey,  Connecticut,  New 
York,  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  Ohio,  Delaware,  and 
Illinois. 

There  were  16  states  which  had,  on  the  average,  less 
than  18  inhabitants  to  the  square  mile.  Eight  of  these 
states  are  in  the  Mountain  division  (comprising  its 
entire  area),  3 in  the  Pacific  division  (comjirising  its 
entire  area),  3 in  the  West  North  Central  division,  1 in 
the  West  South  Clcntral  division,  and  1 in  the  South 
Atlantic  division. 

Among  the  outlying  possessions  Alaska  had  an  aver- 
age density  of  only  0.1  per  sipiare  mile;  Hawaii,  29.8, 
about  that  of  Arkansas;  and  Porto  Rico,  325.5,  or 
greater  than  that  of  any  state  of  the  United  States 
excejit  Rhode  Island,  Ma.ssachusetts,  and  New  Jersey.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


CENTER  OF  POPULATION. 


On  the  basis  of  the  Tliirtocnth  Census  returns  the 
center  of  population  and  the  median  point  for  the 
United  States  have  been  determined  for  April  15, 
1910.  In  these  calculations  no  account  is  taken  of 
the  teri’itory  and  population  of  Alaska  and  of  other 
outlying  ])ossessions. 

The  center  is  often  understood  to  be  the  point  of  in- 
tersection of  a north  and  south  line  which  divides  the 
population  equally,  with  an  east  and  west  line  wliich 
likewise  divides  it  equally.  This  point  of  intersection 
is,  in  a certain  sense,  a center  of  population;  it  is  here, 
however,  designated  the  median  point  to  distinguish 
it  from  the  point  technically  defined  as  the  center. 

The  character  of  these  two  points  may  be  made 
clear  through  a physical  analogy.  The  center  of 
population  may  be  said  to  represent  the  center  of 
gravity  of  the  population.  If  the  surface  of  the  United 
States  be  considered  as  a rigid  plane  without  weight, 
capable  of  sustaining  the  population  distributed 
thereon,  individuals  being  assumed  to  be  of  equal 
weight,  and  each,  therefore,  to  exert  a pressure  on  any 
supporting  pivotal  point  directly  proportional  to  his 
distance  from  the  point,  the  pivotal  point  on  which 
the  plane  balances  would,  of  course,  be  its  center  of 
gravity;  and  this  is  the  point  referred  to  by  the  term 
“center  of  population,”  as  used  in  this  chapter.  In 
determining  the  median  point  distance  is  not  taken 
into  account,  and  the  location  of  the  units  of  popu- 
lation is  considered  only  in  relation  to  the  intersecting 


median  lines — as  being  north  or  south  of  the  median 
parallel  and  east  or  west  of  the  median  meridian. 
Extensive  changes  in  the  geographic  distribution  of 
the  population  may  take  place  without  affecting  the 
median  point,  whereas  the  center  of  population  re- 
sponds to  the  slightest  population  change  in  any  sec- 
tion of  the  country. 

At  the  Thirteenth  Census  the  center  of  population 
was  in  the  following  position: 

Latitude •. 39°  10'  12"  N. 

Longitude 86°  32'  20"  W. 

This  point  is  in  southern  Indiana,  in  the  western 
part  of  Bloomington  city,  Monroe  County. 

During  the  last  decade,  1900  to  1910,  the  center  of 
population  moved  west  43'  26",  approximately  39 
miles,  while  its  northward  movement  was  only  36",  or 
approximately  seven-tenths  of  a mile.  The  westward 
movement  from  1900  to  1910  was  nearly  three  times 
as  great  as  that  from  1890  to  1900,  but  was  less  than 
that  for  any  decade  between  1840  and  1890. 

The  closeness  with  which  the  center  of  population 
throughout  its  westward  movement  has  clung  to  the 
thirty-ninth  parallel  of  latitude  is  remarkable.  The 
total  westward  movement  since  1790  is  557  miles. 

The  foUowuig  table  and  the  map  on  the  opposite 
page  show  the  location  of  the  center  of  population 
and  its  proximity  to  important  towns  at  each  suc- 
cessive Federal  census,  and  its  westward  advance 
during  each  decade  since  1790:

In  connection  with  the  location  of  the  center  of 
population  of  the  United  States  it  is  of  interest  to 
note  also  the  position  of  what  may  be  termed  the 
center  of  area — that  is,  the  point  on  which  the  sur- 
face of  the  United  States  would  balance  if  it  were  a 
plane  of  uniform  weight  per  unit  of  area.  This  point 
is  located  in  northern  Kansas,  10  miles  north  of  Smith 
Center,  the  county  seat  of  Smith  County,  approximate 
latitude  39°  55',  longitude  98°  50',  and  is  therefore 
about  three-fourths  of  a degree  (51  miles)  north  and 


121  degrees  (657  miles)  west  of  the  center  of  ])opu- 
lation.  This  would  be  the  center  of  population  if  the 
population  were  distributed  evenly  over  the  territory 
of  the  United  States. 

In  1910  the  median  point  was  located  at  latitude 
40°  6'  24"  north  and  longitude  84°  59'  59"  west,  prac- 
tically the  eighty-fifth  meridian.  Its  location,  there- 
fore, was  3J  miles  south  of  Winchester,  Randolph 
County,  Ind.;  its  westward  movement  during  the  dec- 
ade was  7.5  miles,  its  northward  movement  2.3  miles.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION 


POPULATION  OF  COUNTIES. 


Tables  13  and  14  show  tlie  area  and  population 
in  1910  of  each  county  or  equivalent  subdivision  of 
the  United  States,  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and  Porto  Rico; 
also  the  population  in  1900  and  1890,  except  for 


such  counties  as  were  organized  subsequent  to  these 
censuses.  Notes  immediately  following  the  tables 
indicate  changes  in  counties  which  affect  the  com- 
parability of  the  figures.

(In  computing  the  increase  from  1890  to  1900  for  certain  counties  the  population  of  Indian  reservations  in  1900  has  been  deducted  from  the  total  population  of  the  countv 
in  order  to  make  that  total  comparable  with  the  total  for  1890,  which  does  not  include  the  population  of  Indian  reservations.]

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 

URBAN  AND  RURAL  POPULATION. 


Tlio  Coiisus  Biiroau  classilios  as  urban  population 
that  residin'^  in  cities  and  other  incorporated  places  of 
2,500  inhabitants  or  more,  including  New  England 
towns  of  that  population.  In  most  sections  of  the 
country  all  or  practically  all  densely  [populated  areas 
of  this  size  are  sot  olF  from  rural  territory  and  incor- 
j)oratod  as  muiuclpalities  (variously  known  as  cities, 
towns,  villages,  boroughs,  etc.).  In  New  England, 
however,  this  is  often  not  the  ca.se.  klany  of  the  towns 
consist  in  i)art  of  distinctly  I'ural  territory  and  in  part 
of  densely  {)opulated  areas  wluch  are  not  incorporated 
separately  and  for  wliich  it  is  impossible  to  make  so[)a- 
rate  population  returns.  For  this  reason  it  has  been 
necessary  in  the  New  England  states  to  include  with 
the  urban  population  residing  in  incorporated  cities 
the  ])opulation  also  of  all  towns  having  2,500  inhabit- 
ants or  more.  The  urban  areas  in  New  England,  as 
classified  by  the  census,  therefore,  include  some  popu- 
lation which,  in  other  sections  of  the  United  States, 
would  be  segregated  as  rural. 

Urban  population  being  thus  defined,  the  remain- 
der of  the  country  is  classed  as  rural,  consisting 


(except  in  New  England)  of  all  unincorporated  terri- 
tory and  of  incoi'porated  places  of  less  than  2,500 
inhabitants. 

The  comparisons  of  the  urban  and  rural  population 
in  1910  with  tliat  at  earlier  enumerations  may  be  made 
either  with  res})oct  to  the  varying  proportions  of  the 
two  classes  at  successive  enumerations  or  with  respect 
to  the  increase  between  enumerations.  In  order  to 
contrast  the  proportio7i  of  the  total  population  living 
in  urban  or  rural  territory  at  the  census  of  1910  with 
the  proportion  urban  or  rural  at  the  preceding  census, 
it  is  necessary  to  classify  the  territory  according  to 
the  conditions  as  they  existed  at  each  census.  In  tliis 
comparison  a place  having  less  than  2,500  inhabit- 
ants in  1900  and  over  2,500  in  1910  is  classed  with  the 
rural  territory  for  1900  and  with  the  urban  for 
1910.  On  the  other  hand,  in  order  to  pi-esent  fairly 
the  contrast  between  urban  and  rural  communities,  as 
regards  their  rate  of  growth,  it  is  necessary  to  con- 
sider the  changes  in  population  which  have  occurred 
from  one  decennial  census  to  another  in  exactly  the 
same  territory. 


PER  CENT  URBAN  IN  TOTAL  POPULATION,  BY  STATES:  1910. 


Proportion  urban  and  rural. — The  proportion  of  the 
total  population  living  in  urban  and  in  rural  territory 
at  the  censuses  of  1910,  ]9{)(),  1890,  and  1880,  respec- 
tively, for  the  United  States  as  a whole,  is  shown  in 
Table  15,  on  the  opj)osite  page. 


This  table  shows  a steady  and  ra])id  increase  in 
the  proportion  of  urban  population.  Wltile  the  in- 
crease in  the  percentage  of  urban  population  from 
1900  to  1910  was  appreciably  greater  than  from  1890 
to  1900,  it  was  not  so  great  as  from  1880  to  1890.

The  map  on  {)age  54  shows  the  percentage  of  urban 
population  in  1910  for  each  of  the  states. 

Table  18  (p.  56)  shows,  by  divisions  and  states, 
urban  and  rural  population,  and  the  per  cent  urban 
and  rural,  at  the  censuses  of  1910,  1900,  and  1890,  re- 
spectively. As  shown  by  this  table,  the  proportions 
of  the  total  population  living  in  urban  and  rural  ter- 
ritory vary  greatly  in  different  sections  of  the  country. 

In  the  New  England  division  more  than  four-fifths 
of  the  population  in  1910  lived  in  uxbair  territory,  as 
defined  by  the  Census  Bureau.  Were  it  possible  to  de- 
termine the  urban  population  in  this  division  on  the 
same  basis  as  for  the  rest  of  the  country,  the  proportion 
would  probably  be  somewhat  less  than  three-fourths. 
Urban  population  constituted  more  than  seven-tenths 
of  the  total  m the  IVIiddle  Atlantic  division  and  more 
than  one-half  in  the  East  North  Central  and  Pacific 
divisions.  The  lowest  proportion  of  urban  population 
is  found  in  the  South — 25.4  per  cent  in  the  South 
Atlantic  division,  18.7  in  the  East  South  Central,  and 
22.3  in  the  West  South  Central. 

In  the  North  (comprising  the  first  four  geographic 
divisions)  the  urban  population  numbered  32,669,705, 
and  the  rural  23,087,410,  the  per  cent  urban  being 
58.6.  In  the  South  (comprising  the  next  three  divi- 
sions) the  urban  population  was  6,623,838,  and  the  ru- 
ral 22,765,492,  the  proportion  urban  being  22.5  per 
cent.  In  the  West  (comprising  the  last  two  divisions), 
with  3,229,840  urban  and  3,495,981  rural,  the  per- 
centage urban  was  48.8. 

In  each  of  the  nine  geographic  divisions  the  pro- 
portion of  the  population  living  in  urban  communities 
was  larger  in  1910  than  in  1900,  and  larger  in  1900 
than  in  1890.  The  proportion  increased  with  excep- 
tional rapidity  from  1900  to  1910  in  the  Pacific  division, 
where  cities  have  shown  a remarkable  growth. 

The  per  cent  distribution  of  the  total,  urban,  and 
rural  population,  respectively,  of  the  United  States  in 
1910  among  the  geographic  divisions  is  as  follows:

Increase  in  urban  and  rural  population. — In  order  to 
compare  the  rate  of  growth  in  urban  and  rural  com- 
munities, it  is  necessaiy  in  each  case,  as  previously 
explained,  to  consider  the  changes  in  population  which 
have  occurred  in  the  same  territory  from  one  decennial 
census  to  another.  For  this  purpose  communities  are 
classed  as  urban  or  rural  according  to  their  population 
in  1910,  and  the  population  of  the  places  as  thus  clas- 
sified is  then  determined  for  1900  for  purposes  of 
comparison. 

The  increase  from  1900  to  1910  in  urban  and  rural 
population  on  this  basis  is  shown,  for  the  United 
States,  in  the  following  .table:

The  rate  of  increase  for  the  population  of  urban 
areas  was  over  three  times  that  for  the  population 
living  in  rural  territory. 

Of  the  total  increase  in  the  population  of  the 
United  States  during  the  past  decade  (15,977,691), 
seven-tenths  was  in  urban  territory  and  only  three- 
tenths  in  rural  territory. 

Table  19  (p.  57)  shows,  by  divisions  and  states,  the 
aggregate  population  in  1910  and  1900  of  the  territory 
which  is  classed  as  urban  and  rural  in  1910,  and  the 
increase  or  decrease  during  the  decade.  (See  also 
maps  on  page  58.) 

The  largest  percentages  of  increase  in  urban  popu- 
lation between  1900  and  1910  were  reported  for  the 
Pacific,  W’^est  South  Central,  and  Mountain  divisions, 
in  the  order  named,  these  percentages  being  101.8, 
68.5,  and  64.7,  respectively.  These  same  divisions 
also  showed  higher  rates  of  increase  in  rural  population 
than  any  of  the  others,  though  the  increase  in  rural 
population  was  much  less  ra])id  than  that  in  urban 
population,  being  for  these  divisions  46.4,  27.1,  and 
53.4  per  cent,  respectively.  The  New  England  di- 
vision, on  the  other  hand,  showed  the  smallest  percent- 
age of  increase  in  urban  population,  namely,  21.5 
per  cent.  For  this  division  thei-e  was  a slight  de- 
crease in  rural  population  during  the  last  decade. 

The  five  other  geographic  divisions  differed  little  from 
one  another  in  the  j)ercentages  of  increase  in  urban 
population,  the  rates  ranging  from  28.2  per  cent  for 
the  West  North  Central  division  to  33.1  per  cent  for 
the  Middle  Atlantic  division.  They  showed  greater

There  was  in  every  state  between  1900  and  1910  an 
increase  in  urban  poi)iilation,  but  in  six  states — 
namely,  Now  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Ohio,  Indiana, 
Iowa,  and  Missouri — there  was  a decrease  in  rural 
population.  In  all  but  two  states — Montana  and 
Wyoming — the  urban  population  increased  faster  than 
the  rural  po])ulation,  and  generally  at  a much  more 
rapid  rate. 

COMMUNITIES  CLASS] 

Proportion  in  the  'several  classes  of  communities. — In 
addition  to  classifying  the  population  according  to  the 
broad  grouping  into  urban  and  rural,  a further  analysis 
may  be  made  on  the  basis  of  a more  detailed  size 
classification.  The  following  table  shows,  for  the 


The  decrease  or  slow  increase  in  the  rural  population 
throughout  largo  areas  is  in  no  sense  duo  to  lack  of 
agricultural  pros])erity.  On  the  contrary,  in  almost  all 
such  areas  there  has  been  a remarkable  increase  in  the 
value  of  farm  property. 

The  maps  on  the  opposite  page  show  the  rates  of

I The  total  number  of  cities  of  certain  classes  for  the  United  States  as  a whole,  and  for  certain  geographic  divisions,  is  less  than  the  sum  of  the  numbers  shown  for 
the  individual  states  of  the  country  or  of  the  division,  for  the  reason  that  three  cities  each  lie  in  two  adjoining  states,  namely,  Bristol  (Virginia- Tennessee),  Texarkana 
(Arkansas-Texas),  and  Union  City  (Indiana-Ohio),  and  are  therefore  coimted  twice.  Moreover,  one  of  these  cities— Bristol— lies  in  two  different  geographic  divisions 
(South  Atlantic  and  East  South  Central).  Each  of  these  cities  consists  of  two  incorporated  municipalities,  but  each  Is,  from  the  statistical  standpoint,  one  city,  and 
should  be  classed  according  to  its  total  population.  In  each  case  that  part  of  the  population  lying  in  each  state,  whatever  its  number,  is  credited  to  the  group  of  cities 
to  which,  according  to  the  total  population,  the  city  belongs.  According  to  total  population,  Bristol  fell  in  1910  in  the  class  of  cities  of  10,000-25,000;  in  1900  and  in  1890, 
In  the  class  5,000-10,000;  Texarkana  fell  In  1910  and  1900  in  the  class  of  10,000-25,000,  and  in  1890  in  the  class  5,000-10,000;  and  Union  City  fell  at  each  census  from  1890  to 
1910  In  the  class  of  2,500-5,000. 


In  addition  to  the  46.3  per  cent  of  the  total  popu- 
lation which  in  1910  resided  in  communities  classed 
by  the  Census  Bureau  as  urban,  8.8  per  cent  resided 
in  incorporated  places  of  less  than  2,500  inhabitants, 
making  in  all  55.1  per  cent  residing  under  conditions 
more  or  less  urban  in  character. 

Nearly  one-tenth  (9.2  per  cent)  of  the  total  popu- 
lation in  1910  resided  in  the  three  cities  (New  York, 
Chicago,  and  Philadelphia)  which  had  more  than 
1,000,000  inhabitants  each.  If  100,000  inhabitants 
be  taken  as  the  dividing  line  between  large  and 
medium-sized  cities,  it  is  seen  that  22.1  per  cent  of 
the  population  resided  in  such  large  cities.  Of  the 
total  population,  8.9  per  cent  resided  in  cities  of 
medium  size,  ranging  from  25,000  to  100,000  inhab- 
itants, while  the  small  urban  communities  of  from 
2,500  to  25,000  inhabitants  contained  15.3  per  cent. 

Comparing  the  percentages  for  the  three  censuses, 
it  is  seen  that  each  of  the  several  groups  of  communi- 
ties classed  as  urban  comprised  a larger  percentage 
of  the  population  of  the  country  in  1910  than  in  1900, 
and  that,  with  two  exceptions,  each  class  in  1900  com- 


prised a larger  percentage  of  the  total  population  than 
in  1890. 

The  population  of  each  class  of  cities  in  the  several 
divisions  in  1910  is  shown  in  Table  22  from  which  the 
percentages  in  Table  2 1 are  derived.  Very  great  differ- 
ences appear  among  the  several  geographic  divisions 
with  respect  to  the  distribution  of  the  urban  popula- 
tion among  communities  of  different  sizes.

Growth  of  the  several  classes  of  urban  communities. — 
In  comparing  the  growth  of  the  several  classes  of 
urban  communities  from  1900  to  1910,  each  commu- 
nity is  grouped,  for  both  censuses,  according  to  its 
population  in  1910,  so  as  to  avoid  the  chsturbing  effect 
of  the  passage  of  communities  from  one  group  to 
another.  The  jiopulation  shown  for  1900  represents, 
so  far  as  it  could  be  ascertained,  the  population  witlrin 
the  boundaries  of  the  communities  as  constituted  in 
1910.  The  comparison  for  the  United  States  as  a whole 
is  presented  in  Table  23.  With  one  exception,  there 
was  in  1910  no  very  great  difference  in  the  rates  of 
growth  of  the  several  classes  of  urban  communities. 
There  are  two  groups  in  which  the  increase  in  popu- 
lation between  1900  and  1910  was  somewhat  more 
than  40  per  cent,  namely,  cities  of  from  100,000  to 
250,000  inhabitants  and  those  of  from  50,000  to 
100,000.  For  all  but  one  of  the  other  groups  the  in- 
crease was  between  30  and  40  per  cent.  The  remain- 
ing group — that  comprising  five  cities  having  in  1910 
from  500,000  to  1,000,000  inhabitants — showed  an 
increase  during  the  decade  of  barely  20  per  cent.

P01>ULATI0N  OF  METROPOLITAN  DISTRICTS. 

METROPOLITAN  DISTRICTS. 


61 


In  its  general  tables  dealing  with  the  population  of 
cities,  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  must  necessarily  deal 
with  political  units,  or,  in  other  words,  with  the  popula- 
tion contained  within  the  municipal  boundaries  of  each 
city.  It  is  a famihar  fact  that,  in  some  cases,  the 
municipal  boundaries  give  only/  an  inadequate  idea  of 
the  population  grouped  about  one  urban  center.  In 
the  case  of  many  cities  there  are  suburban  districts 
with  a dense  population  outside  the  city  limits,  which, 
in  a certain  sense,  are  as  truly  a part  of  the  city  as  the 
districts  which  are  under  the  municipal  government. 

It  seems  desirable,  therefore,  to  show  the  magnitude 
of  each  of  the  principal  population  centers  taken  as  a 
whole.  Statistics  have  been  compiled  for  each  city  in 
the  United  States  vdth  a population  of  200,000  inhabit- 
ants or  more,  which,  in  addition  to  the  population 
within  the  city  limits,  show  the  population  in  adjoining 
communities  which  may  be  considered  as  intimately 
associated  with  the  urban  center.  Such  districts  are 
designated  as  “metropolitan  districts.” 

In  laying  out  such  metropolitan  districts  the  popu- 
lation is  first  determined  for  all  civil  divisions  (that  is, 
cities,  towns,  boroughs,  townships,  precincts,  etc.)  lo- 
cated within  10  miles  of  the  city  boundaries.  Divisions 
which  lie  partly  within  and  partly  without  the  10-mile 
limit  are  included  if  either  one-half  of  their  total  popu- 
lation or  one-half  of  their  total  area  comes  within  that 
limit.  State  boundaries  are  disregarded,  so  that  in 
some  cases  the  metropolitan  district  lies  partly  in  two 
states. 

From  the  territory  lying  within  the  limits  thus 
determined  there  have  been  deducted  all  divisions 
which  have  a population  of  less  than  about  150  or  200 
inliabitants  per  square  rmle.  Where  the  density  of 
population  is  less,  the  division  may  be  considered  as 
rural  rather  than  urban  in  character,  and  as  not  prop- 
erly a part  of  the  metropolitan  district.  There  are  a 
few  exceptions  to  this  rule  where  a minor  civil  division 
has  been  included  within  the  metropolitan  district, 
even  though  it  had  a lower  density  than  that  just 
stated,  because  that  division  was  completely  or 
almost  surrounded  by  other  civil  divisions  having  a 
density  which  would  require  them  to  be  included. 
The  exception  in  such  cases  seems  justified  in  order  to 
avoid  undue  irregularity  in  the  shape  of  the  districts, 
or  gaps  lying  wholly  within  their  area. 

Since  a strict  application  of  the  rules  for  determining 
the  metropolitan  district  of  Boston  would  give  an  area 


almost  identical  with  the  area  of  the  “industrial  dis- 
trict” of  Boston,  as  laid  out  in  a previous  census 
bulletin  (1909),  the  latter  area  is  for  convenience  of 
comparison  considered  as  the  metropolitan  district. 
The  same  is  true  of  New  York  City,  except  that  Nas- 
sau County,  which  was  not  included  in  the  industrial 
district,  has  been  added  to  the  metropolitan  district. 
In  the  case  of  the  other  industrial  districts  shown  in 
the  bulletin  mentioned,  the  areas  were  so  different 
from  the  metropolitan  districts,  as  determined  by  the 
application  of  the  rule  here  described,  that  no  attempt 
was'made  to  secure  conformity. 

Table  25  on  the  next  page  showsfor  1910  and  1900  the 
population  of  25  metropolitan  districts  as  defined  by 
the  Census  Bureau,  distinguishing  the  population 
lying  within  the  city  proper  from  that  outside  the  city. 
The  cities  are  arranged  in  the  order  of  the  aggregate 
population  of  the  metropolitan  district. 

It  wUl  be  noted  that  two  cities  of  more  than  200,000 
inhabitants — Newark  and  Jersey  City — do  not  appear 
in  the  table,  for  the  reason  that  they  are  included 
witliin  the  metropolitan  district  of  New  York. 

The  importance  of  the  suburbs  of  great  cities  is  con- 
spicuously indicated  by  the  combined  statistics  for  the 
25  metropolitan  districts,  which  appear  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  table.  The  combined  population  of  the 
metropolitan  districts  in  1910  was  22,088,331,  of  which 
17,099,904  represents  the  population  of  the  central  cities 
and  4,988,427  that  of  the  suburban  areas,  the  latter 
being  equal  to  nearly  30  per  cent  of  the  population 
of  the  cities  proper.  The  figure  of  17,099,904  rep- 
resents the  population  of  28  cities,  since  there  are 
three  metropolitan  districts  in  each  of  wliich  there  are 
two  cities  of  such  large  population  that  both  are  treated 
as  the  central  cities  of  tjie  district,  namely,  Minne- 
apolis and  St.  Paul;  Kansas  City,  Kans.,  and  Kansas 
City,  Mo.;  and  San  Francisco  and  Oakland. 

The  table  shows  further  that  the  population  of  the 
metropolitan  districts  lying  outside  of  the  central 
cities  increased  between  1900  and  1910  somewhat 
more  rapidly  than  that  within  their  boundaries,  the 
increase  for  the  suburban  districts  being  43  per  cent 
and  for  the  cities  proper  33.2  per  cent. 

The  table  emphasizes  the  well-known  fact  that  the 
cities  of  the  country  have  quite  a different  rank  when 
their  suburbs  are  taken  into  account  from  that  which 
they  hold  when  only  the  population  within  the  city 
boundaries  proper  is  considered.

POPULATION  OF  CITIES

POPULATION  OF  INDIVIDUAL  CITIES. 


Tlio  statistics  of  population  for  individual  cities 
and  otlier  incorporated  places  having,  in  1910,  2,500 
inhabitants  or  more  are  given  in  this  section. 

Table  27  shows  the  po])ulation  of  cities  having,  in 
1910,  25,000  inhabitants  or  more  as  reported  at  the 
censuses  of  1910,  1900,  and  1890,  with  the  per  cent  of 
incretiso  from  1900  to  1910  and  from  1890  to  1900. 

Table  28  (pp.  65  to  75)  shows  the  population  of  incor- 
porated places  and  New  England  towns  having,  in  1910, 
2,500  inhabitants  or  more,  alphabetically  arranged  by 
states,  as  reported  at  the  last  three  Federal  censuses, 
namely,  those  of  1910,  1900,  and  1890. 

In  using  the  figures  given  in  these  tables,  it  should  be 
remembered  that,  in  some  instances,  the  growth  of  a 
city  or  other  incorporated  place  may  have  been  due  in 
part  to  annexation  of  suburban  territory.  Except  in 
the  cases  of  New  York  City,  Pittsburgh,  and  a few 
other  similar  consolidations  mentioned  in  footnotes 


to  these  tables,  no  allowance  has  been  made  for  such 
annexations. 

Of  the  225  cities  of  25,000  inhabitants  or  more  for 
which  comparative  figures  for  the  two  decades  are  given, 
153  showed  a greater  absolute  increase  in  the  decade 
1900  to  1910  than  in  the  preceding  decade,  and  114 
of  these  showed  also  a higher  percentage  of  increase. 

As  regards  rates  of  increase  from  1900  to  1910,  the 
cities  having  at  least  25,000  inhabitants  are  distrib- 
uted as  shown  in  the  following  table;

Chapter  2. 

COLOR  OR  RACE,  NATIVITY,  PARENTAGE,  AND  SEX. 


Introduction. — This  chapter,  dealing  with  the  com- 
position of  the  population,  gives  in  condensed  form 
statistics  relative  to  color  or  race,  nativity,  parentage, 
and  sex,  as  returned  at  the  Thirteenth  Decennial 
Census,  taken  as  of  April  15,  1910,  with  comparative 
figures  for  prior  censuses.  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  Kico, 
and  other  outlying  possessions  are  not  included. 

The  classification  by  color  or  race  distinguishes 
six  groups,  namely,  white,  negro,  Indian,  Chinese, 
Japanese,  and  “All  other”  (consisting  principal!}^  of 
Hindus  and  Koreans) . On  account  of  their  compara- 
tively small  number,  the  four  last-named  groups  are 
combined  in  some  of  the  tables. 

The  white  population  is  divided  into  four  groups: 
(1)  Native,  native  parentage — that  is,  having  both 
parents  born  in  the  United  States;  (2)  native,  foreign 
parentage — having  both  parents  born  in  foreign 
countries;  (3)  native,  mixed  parentage — having  one 
parent  native  and  the  other  foreign  born;  (4)  foreign 
born.  In  many  of  the  tables  native  whites  of  foreign 
parentage  and  of  mixed  parentage  are  combined. 


This  double  classification  by  color  or  race,  and  by 
nativity  and  parentage,  results  in  five  principal 
classes  of  the  population — the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage,  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage,  the  foreign-born  whites,  the  negroes,  and 
all  others.  The  last  named  group  is  frequently  omit- 
ted from  the  tables,  as  it  is  neither  numerous  nor 
important. 

Following  in  each  case  this  classification  according 
to  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage,  statistics  are 
presented  in  the  fii’st  section  of  this  chapter  for  the 
total  population;  in  the  second  section  for  the  total 
population  distinguished  by  sex;  in  the  third  section 
for  the  population  21  years  of  age  and  over,  also  dis- 
tinguished by  sex;  and  in  the  fourth  section  for  the 
male  population  of  militia  age  (18  to  44  years,  inclu- 
sive). In  connection  with  the  population  21  years  of 
age  and  over,  much  greater  detail  is  given  regarding 
males  than  regarding  females,  and  statistics  are  also 
presented  relative  to  the  naturalization  of  the  foreign- 
born  white  males. 


TOTAL  POPULATION  BY  COLOR  OR  RACE,  NATIVITY,  AND  PARENTAGE. 


UNITED  STATES  AS  A WHOLE. 

General  summary : 1910  and  1900. — Table  1 shows  the 
number  of  persons  of  each  color  or  race  at  the  last  two 
censuses,  the  total  number  of  native  and  foreign-born 
inhabitants,  and  the  number  of  whites  distributed 
according  to  nativity  and  parentage.

Of  the  population  of  the  United  States  in  1910, 
81,731,957,  or  88.9  per  cent,  were  whites;  9,827,763, 
or  10.7  per  cent,  were  negroes;  and  412,546,  or  four- 
tenths  of  1 per  cent,  were  other  colored  races. 


Of  the  total  population,  78,456,380,  or  85.3  per 
cent,  were  native  and  13,515,886,  or  14.7  per  cent, 
foreign  born,  the  latter  consisting  chiefly  of  whites. 

The  native  white  population  numbered  68,386,412, 
and  constituted  83.7  per  cent  of  the  white  population 
and  74.4  per  cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  country. 
The  13,345,545  foreign-born  whites  constituted  16.3  per 
cent  of  the  white  population  and  14.5  per  cent  of  the 
total  population. 

Native  whites  of  native  parentage  in  1910  numbered 
49,488,575,  constituting  60.5  per  cent  of  the  white 
population  and  53.8  per  cent  of  the  total  population. 
Native  whites  of  foreign  parentage  fonned  15.8  per 
cent  of  the  white  population  and  those  of  mixed 
parentage  7.3  per  cent,  the  corresponding  percent- 
ages based  on  the  total  population  being  14  and  6.5, 
respectively. 

Of  the  total  increase  of  15,977,691  m the  population 
of  the  country  between  1900  and  1910,  the  whites  con- 
tributed 14,922,761,  the  negroes  993,769,  and  other 
races  61,161.  The  increase  in  the  native  population 
was  12,803,081,  and  that  in  the  foreign  bom,  3,174,610, 
or  about  one-fifth  of  the  total  increase. 

The  percentage  of  increase  for  the  whites,  22.3,  was 
a little  less  than  twice  as  liigh  as  that  for  the  negroes, 
11.2.  This  difference  is  partly  due,  however,  to  the 
direct  or  indirect  effect  of  immigration  upon  the 
increase  of  the  white  population.  The  native  white

population  increased  20.8  j)er  cent  and  tlie  foreign- 
born  white  30.7  per  cent.  There  was  very  little  differ- 
cnce  in  the  rates  of  increase  for  the  three  parentage 
groui)S  of  the  native  white  po])uiation. 

By  reason  of  these  dilferences  in  the  rates  of  in- 
crease of  the  several  classes  of  population  there  was 
some  change  between  1900  and  1910  in  the  relative 
importance  of  the  dilferent  groups.  Whites  consti- 
tuted 88.9  per  cent  of  the  total  ])opulation  in  1910, 
as  coni])ared  with  87.9  per  cent  in  1900.  Native 
whites,  however,  constituted  a slightly  smaller  pro- 
portion of  the  total  in  the  later  year  than  in  the 
earlier,  while  foreign-born  whites  formed  14.5  per 
cent  of  the  total  in  1910,  as  compared  with  13.4  per 
cent  10  years  before. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  increase  in  the 
white  groups,  from  one  census  to  another,  represents 
more  than  the  natural  growth  by  excess  of  births  over 
deaths.  The  increase  of  negroes  and  Indians,  since 
them  number  is  only  slightly  affected  by  immigration 
or  emigration,  is  essentially  a natural  increase.  The 
increase  in  the  several  white  groups,  however,  is  mate- 
rially affected,  directly  or  indii-ectly,  by  immigration, 
which  greatly  exceeds  emigration.  The  total  number  of 
whites  is  swelled  directly  by  immigration ; the  number 
of  native  whites  by  the  children  born  of  immigrants 
after  their  arrival  in  this  country;  and  the  number  of 
native  whites  of  native  parentage  by  the  children 
of  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage. 
Additions  to  the  number  of  native  whites  of  foreign 
parentage,  of  course,  consist  wholly  of  the  children  of 
the  foreign  born,  while  the  additions  to  the  native 
whites  of  mixed  parentage  are  the  children  of  inter- 
marriages between  the  foreign  born  and  the  native. 

It  is  possible,  however,  to  estimate  approximately 
the  natural  increase  of  the  white  population  by  sub- 
tracting from  the  total  white  population  enumerated 
in  1910  the  number  of  foreign-born  whites  who  had 
immigrated  to  the  country  after  1900.  The  remainder, 
when  compared  with  the  white  population  enumerated 
in  1900,  may  be  accepted  as  indicating  approximately 
the  growth  in  the  white  population  apart  from  immi- 
gration, or,  in  other  words,  the  natural  increase  of  the 
white  population  between  1900  and  1910.  The  num- 
ber of  foreign-born  whites  enumerated  in  1910  who 
had  arrived  in  this  country  subsequently  to  January  1, 
1901,  was  almost  exactly  5,000,000.  Subtracting  tins 
from  the  total  white  population  enumerated  in  1910 
the  remainder  is  about  76,730,000,  which,  as  compared 
with  the  white  population  in  1900,  66,809,196,  repre- 
sents a difference  of  about  9,920,000,  or  14.8  per  cent. 

‘ To  be  strictly  accurate  one  should  subtract  the  number  of 
children  enumerated  in  1910  who  were  born  in  this  country  of  the 
immigrants  who  came  in  after  1900;  this  number,  however,  is  un- 
known, and  is  at  least  partially  offset  by  the  number  of  surviving 
white  persons  (also  unknown)  enumerated  in  1900  who  emigrated 
from  the  United  States  before  April  15,  1910,  and  the  surviving 
children  born  of  such  emigrants.  Moreover,  one  should  deduct  the 
survivors  (number  unknown)  of  the  immigrants  who  arrived  in  this 
country  between  June  1,  1900,  the  date  of  (he  Twelfth  Census,  and 
January  1,  1901. 


This  may  somewhat  exceed  the  natural  increase, 
however,  because  certain  minor  factors  have  not  been 
taken  into  account  in  this  computation  it  is  probable 
that  the  true  rate  of  natural  increase  for  the  aggregate 
white  population  was  not  far  from  14  per  cent,  axid 
that  this  percentage  may  be  fairly  compared  with 
the  rate  of  increase  in  the  negro  population,  11.2  per 
cent.

The  census  of  1860  was  the  first  at  which  Indians 
were  distinguished  from  the  other  classes.  Not,  how- 
ever, until  the  census  of  1890  was  any  enumeration 
made  of  the  Indians  on  reservations  or  “living  in 
tribal  relations,”  so  that  statistics  for  the  group  in 
which  they  are  included  in  the  table  are  not  com- 
parable further  back  than  1890. 

The  distinction  of  white  and  colored  is  the  only 
one  which  has  been  carried  through  all  the  13  censuses. 
There  is  some  doubt  whether  the  small  number  of 
taxed  Indians  were  counted  with  the  white  or  with  the 
colored  prior  to  1860. 

The  proportion  of  whites  in  the  total  population, 
which  was  approximately  four-fifths  in  1790,  has  in- 
creased at  each  succeeding  census,  except  for  an  insig- 
nificant decrease  in  1810  as  compared  with  1800. 
The  apparently  lower  percentage  in  1880,  as  com- 
pared with  1870,  is  undoubtedly  erroneous,  being  due 
to  the  faulty  census  of  1870,  which  is  known  to  have 
been  generally  deficient  in  the  Southern  states.  The 
number  of  omissions  in  these  states  in  1870  is  estimated 
to  have  been  747,915  whites  and  512,163  negroes, 
aggregating  1,260,078.  (See  Reports  of  the  Eleventh 
Census,  Population,  Part  I,  pp.  xi,  xii,  and  xvi.) 
Assuming  these  estimates  to  be  correct,  the  white 
population  in  1870  represented  86.2  per  cent  of  the 
total  and  the  negro  13.5. 

During  the  first  40  years  of  the  period  covered  by 
the  table,  the  proportions  of  whites  and  negroes  did 
not  change  materially,  although  the  total  population 
more  than  trebled.  Thoreaftor  the  proportion  of

whites  increased  more  rapidly — from  81.9  per  cent  in 
1830  to  88.9  per  cent  in  1910. 

Table  3 gives  the  dcceniiial  increase,  both  absolute 
and  relative,  in  the  white  and  in  the  negro  popula- 
tion for  each  decade  from  1790  to  1910.

' Exclusive  of  325,464  persons  (among  whom  were  117,368  whites  and  18,636 
negroes)  specially  enumerated  in  I890in  Indian  Territory  and  on  Indian  reservations. 
2 Estimated  corrected  increase. 


The  addition  to  the  total  white  population  in  the 
decade  1900-1910  was  considerably  greater  than 
during  any  other  decade  and  indeed  exceeded  the  total 
white  population  of  the  country  in  1840.  The  in- 
crease in  the  negro  population,  however,  was  less  than 
that  from  1890  to  1900  and  was  much  less  than  that 
from  1870  to  1880  as  based  on  the  returns. 

If,  however,  the  irregularity  in  the  increase  for  the 
decades  1860-1870  and  1870-1880,  due  to  the  defective 
enumeration  of  the  population  in  1870,  be  corrected 
to  correspond  with  the  estimated  population  of  1870, 
the  increase  of  negroes  from  1870  to  1880  becomes 
less  marked,  although  still  greater  than  that  from 
1900  to  1910. 

Assuming  the  estimates  for  1870  to  be  approxi- 
mately correct,  each  decade  since  1790  has  shown  for 
the  white  population  an  absolute  gain  larger  than  that 
for  the  decade  immediately  preceding,  and  the  per- 
centage of  increase  for  the  white  population  has  ex- 
ceeded that  for  the  negro  population  in  every  decade 
since  1790  except  1800-1810.  In  the  50  years  1860- 
1910  the  white  population  increased  203.6  per  cent  and 
the  negro  population  121.3  per  cent. 

A comparison  of  the  deceimial  rates  of  increase 
in  the  white  population  from  1790  to  1910  reveals 
three  clearly  defined  periods.  From  1790  to  1860  the 
rate  was  high  and  remarkably  uniform,  varying  little 
from  35  per  cent.  Then  it  fell  off  abruptly  and  for 
three  decades,  from  1860  to  1890  (accepting  the  esti- 
mated figures  for  1870),  was  close  to  27  per  cent.  The 
third  period  dates  from  1890,  the  percentage  of 
increase  being  21.2  from  1890  to  1900  and  22.3  from 
1900  to  1910.  With  respect  to  the  rate  of  increase 
of  the  negroes,  three  similar  periods  also  appear, 
the  second,  however,  beginning  in  1830  and  the 
third  in  1880.  According  to  the  returns  the  rate 
from  1880  to  1890  was  very  much  lower  than 
even  the  estimated  rate  from  1870  to  1880,  and 


the  rate  from  1890  to  1900  was  much  higher  than 
during  either  the  preceding  or  the  succeeding  decade. 
Such  abrupt  changes  in  the  growth  of  a class  of 
the  population  which  is  not  affected  by  immigra- 
tion seem  very  improbable  and  almost  force  the  con- 
clusion that  the  enumeration  of  negroes  in  1890  was 
deficient.

1910.  Since  1890  the  Indian  population  has  increased 
slightly,  although  a slight  decrease  is  indicated  for 
the  decade  1890-1900;  the  Chinese  population  de- 
creased, while  the  Japanese  increased  rapidly  during 
each  of  the  two  decades  and  in  1910  slightly  outnum- 
bered the  Chinese.  There  were  also  enumerated  in 
1910  other  nonwhite  races,  consisting,  for  the  greater 
part,  of  Hindus  and  Koreans,  to  the  number  of  3,175.

as  black  or  mulatto. 


No  data  are  available  for  1880  or  1900.  Of  the 
9,827,763  negroes  enumerated  in  1910,  7,777,077 
were  returned  as  black  and  2,050,686  as  mulatto. 
In  1850  the  percentage  of  mulattoes  was  11.2.  It  had 
advanced  but  little  in  1870,  being  only  12  per  cent,  but 
since  1870  the  proportion  of  mulattoes  in  the  total 
negro  population  appears  to  have  increased  very  mate- 
rially, reaching  15.2  per  cent  in  1890  and  20.9  per  cent  in 
1910.  Considerable  uncertainty  necessarily  attaches 
to  this  classification,  however,  since  the  accuracy  of  the 
distinction  made  depends  largely  upon  the  judgment 
and  care  of  the  enumerators.  Moreover,  the  fact  that 
the  definition  of  the  term  '‘mulatto”  adopted  at  differ- 
ent censuses  has  not  been  entirely  uniform  may  affect 
the  comparability  of  the  figures  in  some  degree.  In

The  proportions  of  the  native  and  foreign  born  have 
not  changed  greatly  since  1860.  The  deficiency  m the 
census  of  1870  affected  the  native  population  much 
more  than  the  foreign  born,  so  that  the  proportions  for 
that  year  are  slightly  misleading.  It  is  certain,  how- 
ever, that  for  the  native  population  the  rate  of  mcrease 
has  fallen  off  hi  each  of  the  last  three  decades.  For  the 
foreign  born  the  rate  has  fluctuated  more  or  less 
directly  with  the  volume  of  immigration.  The  decen- 
nial increases  from  1850  to  1910  are  shown  in  Table  7.

The  distinction  of  native  or  foreign  birth  is  significant 
for  the  white  population  only.  The  proportion  of  for- 
eign born  among  the  negroes  and  Indians  is  quite  unim- 
portant; and  while  more  than  three-fourths  of  the 
members  of  the  other  nonwliite  races  enumerated  are  of 
foreign  birth,  the  distinction  has  little  significance.  In 
the  subsequent  consideration  of  the  population  of  the 
United  States  the  distinction  between  native  and 
foreign  born  is  generally  noted  only  in  the  case  of  the 
white  population. 

White  population  by  nativity  and  parentage. — Table 
9 classifies  the  total  white  population  at  each  census 
from  1850  to  1910  as  native  or  foreign  born,  and  the 
native  white  population  at  each  census  from  1870  to 
1910  by  parentage.  Statistics  as  to  parentage  are 
not  available  for  any  census  prior  to  that  of  1870. 
The  decennial  increases  are  also  given  in  the  table 
for  all  decades  for  which  figures  are  available.

The  native  white  population  incioased  20.8  per 
cent  in  the  decade  1900-1910;  in  the  preceding 
decade,  1890-1900,  the  increase  was  23.1  per  cent. 


For  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  however, 
tlie  rate  of  increase  was  liigher  from  1900  to  1910 
than  in  the  preceding  decade,  being  20.9  jier  cent  as 


81 


COLOR  OR  RACK,  NATIVITY,  AND  PARIONTAGE. 


compared  with  18.8.  For  the  native  wliitos  of  foreiffii 
parentage,  on  the  other  hand,  the  rate  from  1900 
to  1910  was  lower,  and  there  was  a decline  even 
jnore  marked  in  (he  percentage  of  increase  for  the 
native  whiles  of  mixed  parentage — from  40.7  per  cent 
in  the  earlier  decade  to  19.3  in  the  later.  It  should 
be  remembered,  however,  that  these  percentages  do 
not  represent  the  rates  of  “natural”  increase  for  the 
several  classes  compared,  for  the  reason,  already 
noted,  that  the  births  among  the  native  popidation 
of  foreign  parentage  are  contributions  to  the  growth 
of  the  native  population  of  native  parentage,  and 
the  native  whites  of  foreign  parentage  are  similarly 
dependent  for  their  increase  upon  the  birth  rate 
among  the  foreign-born  whites.  These  variations  in 
the  rates  of  increase  are  affected  by  preceding  varia- 
tions in  the  number  of  immigrants  and  in  their  age 
distribution,  sex  distribution,  and  other  characteris- 
tics, but  the  effects  are  very  difficult  to  trace. 

A further  presentation  for  each  of  the  nativity  and 
parentage  classes  of  the  white  population  is  given  in 
Table  1 0,  which  shows  the  proportion  which  they  formed 
of  the  white  population  and  of  the  total  population  of 
the  country,  respectiyely,  at  each  census  from  1850  to 
1910.

Of  the  total  white  population  in  1910,  approximately 
five-sixths  (83.7  per  cent)  were  native  and  about  one- 
sixth  (16.3  percent)  foreign  born.  The  proportion  of 
foreign  born  in  the  white  population  increased  from 
11.5  per  cent  in  1850  to  15.2  per  cent  in  1860,  and 
to  16.4  per  cent  in  1870  (doubtless  slightly  exag- 
gerated by  the  deficiency  in  enumeration  in  the  South, 
where  most  of  the  population  is  native).  Since  1870 
it  has  slightly  decreased  and  slightly  increased  in 
alternate  decades. 

The  proportion  of  persons  of  native  parentage  among 
the  whites  has  decreased  during  each  of  the  four 
decades  covered  by  the  figures,  falling  off  from  67.8 
per  cent  of  the  total  in  1870  to  60.5  per  cent  in  1910. 

72497°— 13 6 


Tho.se  of  foreign  and  of  mixed  parentage,  taken 
together,  constituted  a larger  proportion  of  the  white 
population  at  each  succeeding  census  from  1870  to 
1900,  but  the  proportion  in  1910  (23.1  per  cent) 
was  a trifle  lower  than  in  1900.

Of  the  total  white  population  in  1910,  about  two- 
thirds  (54,640,209,  or  66.9  per  cent)  were  in  the  four 
northern  divisions,  and  of  the  negro  population,  ap- 
proximately nine-tenths  (8,749,427,  or  89  per  cent) 
were  in  the  three  southern  divisions.  The  Chinese 
and  the  Japanese  were  mainly  in  the  states  of  the 
Pacific  coast  and  Rocky  Mountains;  and  the  Indians 
mainly  on  scattered  leservations,  and  in  states  lying 
west  of  the  Mississippi,  more  than  one-fourth  (74,825, 
or  28.2  per  cent)  being  in  Oklahoma. 

Of  the  13,345,545  foreign-born  whites  in  1910,  ap- 
proximately five-sixths  (11,321,016,  or  84.8  per  cent) 
were  in  the  four  northern  divisions;  and  practically  the 
same  proportion  (15,967,158,  or  84.5  per  cent)  of  the 
18,897,837  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage 
were  in  these  same  divisions.  Of  the  total  foreign- 
born  white  population,  36.2  per  cent  were  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  a percentage  which  considerably  ex- 
ceeds the  corresponding  figure  for  1900  (32.3  per  cent). 
The  native  whites  of  native  parentage  were  widely  dis- 
tributed, 27,352,035,  or  55.3  per  cent,  of  this  class  in 
1910  being  in  the  four  northern  divisions,  18,561,146, 
or  37.5  per  cent,  in  the  three  southern  divisions,  and 
3,575,394,  or 7.2  percent,  in  the  two  western  divisions.

* Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


In  1910  whites  constituted  98  per  cent  of  the  total 
population  in  the  North,  95.9  per  cent  in  the  West, 
and  69.9  per  cent  in  the  South.  The  nonwhite  popu- 
lation in  the  North  and  in  the  South  consists  chiefly  of 
negroes,  but  in  the  West  it  consists  chiefly  of  Indians, 
Chinese,  and  Japanese. 

Among  the  nine  geographic  divisions  the  proportion 
of  whites  in  1910  was  highest  in  New  England  (98.9 
per  cent)  and  lowest  in  the  South  Atlantic  division 
(66.2  per  cent);  among  the  individual  states  it  was 
highest  in  New  Hampshii'e  (99.8  per  cent)  and  lowest 
in  Mississippi  and  South  Carolina,  the  only  states 
where  whites  constituted  less  than  one-half  of  the 
population. 

Native  whites  of  native  parentage  constituted  in  1910 
approximately  one-half  of  the  total  population  of  the 
North  (49.1  per  cent)  and  of  the  West  (52.4  percent), 
but  in  the  South  they  constituted  a little  over  five- 
eighths  (63.2  per  cent)  of  the  total.  Native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage  formed  28.6  per  cent  of 
the  total  population  in  the  North,  24.5  per  cent  m the 
West,  and  only  4.3  per  cent  in  the  South.  Foreign- 
born  whites  constituted  a much  larger  proportion  in  the 
North  (20.3  per  cent)  and  in  the  West  (19  per  cent) 
than  in  the  South  (2.5  per  cent). 

Considering  the  nine  geographic  divisions,  the  pro- 
portion of  native  whites  of  native  parentage  in  the 
total  population  was  highest  in  the  West  South  Central 
division  (65.7  per  cent),  but  was  approximately  the 
same  in  the  East  South  Central  (64.8  per  cent);  it 
was  lowest  in  New  England  (39.9  per  cent).  On  the 
other  hand,  the  proportion  of  native  whites  of  foreign 
or  mixed  parentage  was  highest  in  New  England 
(31.3  per  cent)  and  lowest  in  the  East  South  Central 
division  (2.6  per  cent).  These  same  two  divisions, 
likewise,  ranked  highest  and  lowest,  respectively,  in 
the  proportion  of  foreign-born  whites  (27.7  per  cent 
and  1 per  cent  of  their  total  population,  respectively). 

Table  14  also  shows  the  composition  of  the  popula- 
tion of  each  division  and  state  in  1910  in  comparison

NATIVE  WHITE -foreign  OR  MIXED  PARENTAGE 


NEGRO  AND  ALL  OTHER 


Comparing  the  percentages  for  1910  with  those  for 
1900,  as  shown  in  Table  14,  it  appears  that  whites 
formed  a larger  proportion  of  the  total  population  in 
1910  than  in  1900  in  each  geographic  division  except 
the  Middle  Atlantic  and  the  East  North  Central,  in 
both  of  which  the  change  in  the  other  direction  was 
insignificant.  In  every  Southern  state  except  West 
Virginia  and  Arkansas  the  proportion  of  whites  was 
appreciably  higher  in  1910  than  in  1900. 

Of  the  total  population  of  the  United  States,  53.8 
per  cent  were  native  whites  of  native  parentage  in 
1910  and  53.9  per  cent  in  1900.  But  while  the  per- 
centage remained  practically  unchanged  for  the  coun- 
try as  a whole,  it  decreased  in  every  New  England 
and  Middle  Atlantic  state  and  also  in  Ohio,  Illinois, 
Delaware,  and  West  Virginia.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage 
constituted  a greater  proportion  of  the  population  in 
1910  than  in  1900  in  most  of  the  states  of  the  New 
England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions,  while  the 
proportion  declined  or  remained  unchanged  in  every 


state  outside  of  these  two  divisions  except  North 
Dakota,  Delaware,  and  Florida.  The  foreign-born 
whites  formed  a larger  proportion  of  the  population 
in  1910  than  in  1900  in  tlie  New  England,  Middle 
Atlantic,  East  North  Central,  South  Atlantic,  and 
Pacific  divisions,  but  a smaller  proportion  in  the  West 
North  Central,  East  South  Central,  and  Mountain 
divisions.  The  slight  changes  in  the  small  percentages 
of  foreign-born  whites  in  the  southern  divisions,  how- 
ever, are  not  especially  significant.  The  increase  in 
the  proportion  of  foreign-born  whites  was  most  marked 
in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division  (from  21.4  per  cent 
in  1900  to  25  per  cent  in  1910).  The  proportion 
was,  however,  even  somewhat  higher  in  New  Eng- 
land, although  the  change  between  1900  and  1910 
(from  25.7  to  27.7  per  cent)  was  less.  The  increase 
in  the  proportion  of  foreign-born  whites  was  greatest 
in  Arizona  (from  18.2  per  cent  in  1900  to  22.9  in 
1910),  New  York  (from  26  per  cent  to  29.9  per  cent), 
Connecticut  (from  26.1  to  29.5),  Pennsylvania  (from 
15.6  to  18.8),  and  New  Jersey  (from  22.8  to  25.9). 

In  Table  14  are  given  also  the  percentages  native 
and  foreign  born  in  the  aggregate  population.  As 
already  stated,  practically  all  negroes  and  Indians  are 
native,  while  most  of  the  Chinese  and  Japanese  are 
foreign  born.  Except,  however,  in  the  South  and  in 
some  Western  states  the  colored  elements  in  the  popu- 
lation are  not  of  sufficient  importance  to  make  the 
percentages  for  the  total  native  and  total  foreign-born 
population  differ  materially  from  the  percentages  for 
the  native  white  and  foreign-born  white.  These  differ- 
ences are  easily  interpreted  if  the  geographic  distribu- 
tion of  the  colored  elements  is  kept  m mind. 

Broadly  speaking,  the  percentage  of  foreign  born 
has  increased  in  the  East  and  the  far  West  but  declined 
or  remained  practically  stationary  in  the  central  and 
southern  portions  of  the  United  States. 

White  population  by  nativity  and  parentage. — Table 
16  shows  for  each  division  and  state  in  1910  and  1900 
the  percentage  of  the  total  white  population  repre- 
sented by  each  nativity  or  parentage  group. 

Natm’aUy  in  those  sections  of  the  country  where  the 
population  is  almost  all  white  the  difference  between 
the  percentage  which  any  class  of  the  white  popula- 
tion forms  of  the  total  population  and  the  percentage 
which  it  forms  of  the  white  population  is  inappreciable. 
Ill  the  South,  however,  the  difference  is  very  marked. 
In  the  South  Atlantic  division  the  native  whites  of 
native  parentage  in  1910  constituted  60.2  per  cent  of 
the  total  population,  but  91  per  cent  of  the  white  popu- 
lation. In  the  East  South  Central  division  the  per- 
centages were  64.8  and  94.8,  respectively;  in  the  West 
Soutli  Central,  65.7  and  85.8.  Of  the  white  population 
of  North  Carolina  in  1910,  99  per  cent  were  natives  of 
native  parentage,  the  corresponding  percentage  in

> Includes  Indian  Territory  for  1900. 


In  both  the  New  England  and  the  Middle  Atlantic 
divisions  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  con- 
stituted less  than  half  the  whole  number  of  white 
persons  in  1910.  In  Mmnesota  only  27.9  per  cent,  or 
hardly  more  than  one-fourth,  of  the  total  white  popu- 
lation were  natives  of  native  parentage.  The  percent- 


age was  almost  as  low  in  North  Dakota,  where  it  was 
28.5;  in  Wisconsin  it  was  32.9.  Other  low  percentages 
were  found  in  the  East.  In  Rhode  Island  30  per  cent 
of  the  white  population  were  natives  of  native  parent- 
age; in  Massachusetts,  33.2  per  cent;  in  Connecticut, 
and  also  in  New  York,  36  per  cent.  These  are  all  the 
states  in  which  less  than  two-fifths  of  the  white  popula- 
tion were  natives  of  native  parentage.  There  are  also 
nine  other  states  where  the  native  whites  of  native  par- 
entage formed  less  than  half  the  white  population. 
In  several  states  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage 
were  exceeded  in  number  by  those  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage.  This  was  the  case  in  Massachusetts,  Rhode 
Island,  Wisconsin,  Mmnesota,  and  North  Dakota. 

Increase  by  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage. — 
The  absolute  and  relative  increase  during  the  decade 
1900-1910  is  shown  by  divisions  and  states  for  the 
principal  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  ele- 
ments in  Table  17. 

The  statistics  in  this  table  are  particularly  useful  in 
that  they  show  the  relative  increase  of  the  several 
elements  within  a single  division  or  state.  Differ- 
ences among  divisions  or  states  with  reference  to  the 
rate  of  increase  for  any  given  class  may  result  merely 
from  the  general  differences  in  the  rate  at  which  the 
population  as  a whole  is  increasing.  In  considering 
these  statistics  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the 
increase  in  any  given  class  by  no  means  represents 
exactly  the  natural  growth  by  excess  of  births  over 
deaths.  Aside  from  the  factors  which  have  already 
been  mentioned  as  contributing  to  the  growth  of  the 
several  elements,  particularly  the  white  elements,  in 
the  country  as  a whole  (see  page  78),  the  growth  in 
individual  states  and  divisions  is  largely  affected  by 
interstate  and  inter-divisional  migration. 

Between  1900  and  1910  the  white  population 
increased  more  rapidly  than  the  negro  in  each  of  the 
three  southern  divisions,  where  negroes  are  most 
numerous,  and  also  in  the  New  England,  West  North 
Central,  and  Mountain  divisions.  In  the  Middle 
Atlantic,  East  North  Central,  and  Pacific  divisions, 
however,  the  negroes  increased  the  more  rapidly,  but 
in  the  Pacific  division  there  are  still  very  few  negroes. 
In  the  South  as  a whole  the  white  population  increased 
from  16,521,970  to  20,547,420,  or  24.4  per  cent,  while 
the  negroes  increased  from  7,922,969  to  8,749,427,  or 
10.4  per  cent.  Migration  of  whites  to  the  South  and 
of  negroes  to  the  North  accounts  in  part  for  this  dif- 
ference. Many  of  the  individual  states  in  the  north- 
ern and  western  divisions  present  conditions  as  to  the 
relative  growth  of  the  white  and  negro  population  dif- 
fering from  those  shown  by  the  divisions  in  which 
the  states  are  located.  In  the  South,  however,  the  only 
states  where  the  negroes  increased  faster  than  the 
whites  were  Arkansas,  Oklahoma,  and  West  Virginia.

COLOR  OR  RACE,  NATIVITY,  AND  PARENTAGE.. 


Tho  white  j)opulHtion  iiicreasod  during  the  deciulo 
1900-1910  in  every  state  except  Iowa,  and  there  wore 
only  six  states — Kentucky,  Indiana,  Maine,  Missouri, 
New  Ilainpsliiro,  and  Vermont — in  which  tlio  increase 
was  less  than  10  per  cent.  Tho  negro  population 
decreased  in  Maryland,  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  and 
Missouri,  as  well  as  in  two  New  England  states.  Ajnong 
the  Southern  states  with  a considerable  negro  popu- 
lation the  highest  relative  increase  was  in  Oklahoma, 
147.1  per  cent,  as  compared  with  1 15.5  per  cent  for  the 
wliites.  West  Virginia,  Florida,  and  Ai  kansas  showed 
high  percentages  of  increase  for  the  negroes,  wlule 
Louisiana,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  Texas,  North  Carolina, 
and  Georgia,  all  with  a large  negro  population,  showed 
percentages  of  increase  ranging  from  9.7  to  13.7,  or 
about  the  same  as  that  for  the  country  as  a whole. 

During  the  decade  1900-1910*the  foreign-born  white 
population  increased  by  a greater  percentage  than  the 
native  white  in  the  New  England,  Middle  Atlantic, 
East  North  Central,  South  Atlantic,  and  Pacific 
divisions.  The  opposite  was  the  case  in  the  four  other 
divisions;  an  actual  decrease  of  foreign-born  whites 
occurred  in  the  East  South  Central  division.  In  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division  the  foreign-born  whites 
increased  46.2  per  cent,  as  compared  with  19  per  cent 
for  the  native  whites.  Of  the  total  increase  in  the 
foreign-born  whites  in  »the  country  as  a whole 
(3,131,728),  nearly  one-half  (1,524,063)  was  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division  and  most  of  the  remainder  in 
the  East  North  Central,  Pacific,  and  New  England 
divisions.  The  recent  immigration  has  been  very 
unequally  distributed  over  the  country. 

In  all  but  two  of  the  divisions  the  percentage  of 
increase  in  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  was 
materially  higher  than  that  in  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage;  in  the  East  South  Central 
division,  in  fact,  the  latter  decreased.  In  New  Eng- 
land, however,  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage 
increased  only  4.1  per  cent,  while  those  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage  increased  30  per  cent,  and  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division  the  corresponding  percentages 
of  increase  were  14.3  and  27,  respectively.  In  New 
Hampshire  there  was  an  actual  decrease  in  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage,  and  in  Vermont  and  Maine 
the  increase  was  very  slight. 

Very  few  individual  states  present  exceptions  to  the 
conditions  in  the  geographic  divisions  in  which  they 
are  located  with  respect  to  the  relative  rates  of  increase 
of  native  and  foreign-born  whites,  or  the  relative  rates 
of  increase  of  native  whites  of  native  parentage  and 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage. 

New  Hampshire  is  the  only  state  which  contamed 
fewer  native  whites  of  native  parentage  in  1910  than 
m 1900,  but  in  Indiana,  Iowa,  Missouri,  South  Carolma, 
Kentucky,  Tennessee,  and  Mississippi  a decrease  oc- 
curred in  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parent- 
age, and  in  Wisconsin,  Iowa,  Nebraska,  Kentucky,  and 
Louisiana  the  foreign-born  whites  decreased. 


URBAN  AND  RURAL  POPULATION. 

Table  18  classifies  tho  princijial  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  classes  in  1910  as  urban  or  rural  for  each 
gcograjihic  division,  and  further  distributes  the  urban 
])opulation  by  cla,sscs  of  cities.  The  accompanying 
diagram  shows,  by  geogra])hic  divisions,  the  relative 
importance  of  the  several  classes  of  population  in 
urban  and  rural  communities,  respectively.

NATIVE  WHITE -FOREIGN  OR  MIXED  PARENTAGE 


NEGRO  AND  ALL  OTHER 


There  is  in  the  country  as  a whole  and  in  most  indi- 
vidual states  a marked  difference  between  the  compo- 
sition of  the  urban  population  and  that  of  the  rural. 
Of  the  aggregate  urban  population — that  is,  the  popu- 
lation of  incorporated  places  of  2,500  inhabitants  or 
more,  including  New  England  towns  of  that  size — of 
the  United  States  in  1910,  41.9  per  cent  were  native 
whites  of  native  parentage,  29  per  cent  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  22.6  per  cent  foreign-born 
whites,  and  6.3  percent  negroes.  In  the  rural  popula- 
tion, on  the  other  hand,  64.1  per  cent  were  native  whites 
of  native  parentage,  only  13.3  per  cent  were  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  and  7.5  per  cent 
were  foreign-born  whites,  while  negroes  constituted  14.5 
per  cent.  Thus  the  foreign-born  whites  and  their  chil- 
dren constituted  fully  one-half  (51.6  per  cent)  of  the 
urban  population  and  only  about  one-fifth  of  the  rural.

Yho  native  whites  ol'  native  ])arentuge  constituted 
hardly  more  than  two-fil'ths  of  the  urban  popidation, 
but  over  three-fd’ths  of  the  rural.  It  should  be  noted 
that  the  negro  ])0[)uhition  is  jnainly  in  the  South, 
where  there  are  comparatively  few  very  large  cities. 

The  conditions  in  the  New  England  and  Middle 
Atlantic  divisions  are  especially  noteworthy.  Only 
about  one-third  (33.9  and  34.4  per  cent,  respectively) 
of  the  urban  population  of  these  divisions  in  1910  con- 
sisted of  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  while  over 
two-thh'ds  of  the  rural  population  (69.8  percent  and  67 
per  cent,  respectively)  were  of  that  class.  Broadly 
speaking,  of  the  urban  population  of  these  divisions, 
ahnost  one- third  w^ere  foreign-born  whites,  fully  one- 
third  (including  persons  of  mixed  parentage)  were 
children  of  foreign-born  whites,  and  one-third  were 
native  whites  of  native  parentage. 

In  the  South,  where  the  total  number  of  foreign- 
born  whites  and  of  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage  is  small,  these  classes  constituted  a very  much 
larger  proportion  of  the  urban  than  of  the  rural  popula- 
tion. In  the  South  Atlantic  division,  for  example, 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  and  foreign- 
born  whites  in  1910  constituted  10.1  and  6.2  per  cent, 
respectively,  of  the  urban  population  but  only  1.4  and 
1.1  per  cent,  repectively,  of  the  rural  population. 

In  the  South  as  a whole,  the  proportion  of  negroes 
in  urban  comniunities  was  about  the  same  as  the  propor- 
tion in  rural  communities,  though  in  the  South  Atlantic 
division  negroes  in  1910  formed  29.4  per  cent  of  the  ur- 
ban and  35.2  per  cent  of  the  rural  population.  On  the 
other  hand,  in  the  East  South  Central  division  the  cor- 
responding proportions  were  32.3  and  31.4  per  cent, 
respectively;  and  in  the  West  South  Central  division, 

22.3  per  cent  and  22.7  per  cent. 

Table  18  shows  also  the  race  and  nativity  composi- 
tion of  the  population  for  classes  of  cities.  In  gen- 
eral, the  relative  numerical  hnportance  of  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  declines  as  the  size  of  the 
cities  increases.  Of  the  aggregate  population  in  1910 
of  the  eight  cities  of  the  United  States  having  more 
than  500,000  inhabitants,  only  25.6  per  cent  were 
native  whites  of  native  parentage,  37.2  per  cent  being 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  and  33.6 
per  cent  foreign-born  whites.  The  percentage  of  native 
whites  of  native  parentage,  which,  as  previously  noted, 
was  64.1  in  rural  communities,  falls  off  to  57.5  in  the  class 
of  cities  having  2,500  to  10,000  inhabitants,  then  to 

50.4  in  the  cities  of  10,000  to  25,000,  to  45.9  in  the 
cities  of  25,000  to  100,000,  to  38.9  in  the  cities  of 
100,000  to  500,000,  and  finally  to  25.6  in  the  cities  of 
over  500,000. 

The  differences  among  the  several  classes  of  popu- 
lation with  respect  to  their  distribution  between  urban 
and  rural  communities  are  further  brought  out  by 
the  percentages  in  the  last  five  columns  of  Table 
18.  Of  the  total  population  of  the  country  in  1910, 
46.3  per  cent  resided  in  urban  communities,  but 


of  the  native  whites  of  native  ])arcntagc  only  36.1 
])er  cent  lived  in  such  communities,  while  of  the 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mi.xed  panmtago  65.3  per 
cent  and  of  the  foreign-born  whites  no  less  than  72,2 
per  cent  were  in  urban  communities.  The  pro])or- 
tions  urban  and  I'ural  in  the  total  jiopulation  vary 
greatly  from  division  to  division  and  the  percent- 
ages for  each  of  the  four  color  or  race,  nativity,  and 
parentage  groups  vary  accordingly.  In  1910,  in  New 
England,  where  the  proportion  of  urban  population 
is  higher  than  in  any  other  division  (partly  because 
of  the  classification  as  urban  of  all  New  England 
towns  of  over  2,500  inhabitants),  70.7  per  cent  of 
the  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  90.9  per  cent  of 
the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  92.4 
per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  whites,  and  91.8  per  cent  of 
the  negroes  lived  in  urban  communities.  In  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division  55.8  i:>er  cent  of  the  native  whites  of 
native  parentage,  82.4  per  cent  of  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  83.9  per  cent  of  the  foreign- 
born  whites,  and  81.2  per  cent  of  the  negroes  were  in 
urban  communities.  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  East 
South  Central  division,  where  the  proportion  of  urban 
population  as  a whole  was  lowest,  15.7  per  cent  of  the 
native  whites  of  native  parentage,  69.8  per  cent  of  the 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  66.7  per 
cent  of  the  foreign-born  whites,  and  19.2  per  cent  of  the 
negroes  lived  m urban  communities.  In  each  of  the 
divisions  of  the  North  and  West  the  })ercentage  of 
negi’oes  who  lived  in  urban  communities  was  materially 
higher  than  the  percentage  of  native  whites  of  native 
parentage  who  lived  in  such  communities,  showing  that 
the  negroes  who  have  migrated  from  the  South  have, 
to  a large  extent,  gone  to  the  cities. 

PRINCIPAL  CITIES. 

Table  19  on  a subsequent  page  classifies  by  color  or 
race,  nativity,  and  parentage  the  population  m 1910 
and  1900  of  'the  50  cities  having  more  than  100,000 
inhabitants,  and  Table  20  presents  similar  statistics 
in  1910  for  cities havingfrom  25,000  to  100,000  hihabit- 
ants.  The  distribution  for  the  larger  cities  is  also 
shown  graphically  in  the  diagram  on  the  following 
page. 

In  only  14  of  the  50  cities  having  over  100,000  in- 
habitants in  1910  did  native  whites  of  native  parentage 
constitute  as  much  as  one-half  of  the  total  population. 
The  proportion  exceeded  thi-ee-fifths  in  only  four  cities, 
three  of  them  bemg  in  the  East  North  Central  division 
(Indianapolis,  64.5  per  cent;  Columbus,  64.4  per  cent; 
and  Dayton,  62  per  cent)  and  one  in  the  West  North 
Central  (Kansas  City,  Mo.,  61.9  per  cent).  On  the 
other  hand,  m 22  of  the  cities  of  this  class,  of  which 
15  are  in  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divi- 
sions, less  than  one-third  of  the  population  were  native 
whites  of  native  parentage,  over  two-tliirds  in  all  but 
one  of  these  cities  consisting  of  foreign-born  whites  and 
their  children.  In  Fall  River  only  13.3  per  cent  of  the

Y/Z/Z/A  native  white  - native  parentage  foreign-born  white 

NATIVE  WHITE- FOREIGN  OR  MIXED  PARENTAGE  NEGRO  AND  ALL  OTHER 


The  proportion  of  foreign-born  whites  was  low  in  all 
of  the  southern  eities.  Among  the  northern  cities  it 
was  lowest  in  Indianapolis  (8.5  per  cent)  and  Columbus 
(9  per  cent).  In  many  of  the  50  cities  the  proportion 
of  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  was 
nearly  the  same  as  the  proportion  of  foreign-born 
whites.  The  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage  were  relatively  most  numerous  in  Milwaukee 
(48.8  per  cent)  and  Fall  Kiver  (43.7  per  cent). 

Durmg  the  decade  1900-1910  the  foreign-born  wliite 
population  in  New  York  City  advanced  from  1,260, 918- 
to  1,927,703,  an  increase  of  666,785,  while  native 
wMtes  of  native  parentage  increased  only  183,841. 
In  1910  only  19.3  per  cent  of  the  city’s  population 
consisted  of  native  wlrites  of  native  parentage.  Of 
the  total  population  of  the  United  States  approxi- 
mately one-twentieth  is  domieiled  in  New  York  City; 
of  the  native  wldtes  of  native  parentage,  one-fiftieth; 
of  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  one- 
tenth;  and  of  the  foreign-born  whites,  one-seventh. 

Among  the  larger  cities  the  proportion  of  negroes  in 
1910  was  Ifighest  in  Memphis  (40  per  cent),  followed  by 
Birmingham  (39.4),  Richmond  (36.6),  Atlanta  (33.5), 
Nashville  (33.1),  Washington  (28.5),  New  Orleans 
(26.3),  Louisville  (18.1),  and  Baltimore  (15.2).  In 
no  other  city  of  over  100,000  inhabitants  did  the  negi’O 
element  amount  to  one-tenth  of  the  population. 

Table  20  gives  statistics  for  the  179  cities  having 
from  25,000  to  100,000  inhabitants  in  1910.  Among 
them  there  are  only  41  in  which  the  native  whites  of 
native  parentage  exceeded  three-fifths  of  the  total 
population  in  1910.  None  of  these  are  in  the  New 
England  states,  and  only  one  is  in  New  York. 
Cities  in  which  as  many  as  three-fourths  of  the  total 
population  in  1910  were  native  whites  of  native 
parentage  are  Huntington,  W.  Va.  (87.6  per  cent); 
Joplm,  Mo.  (86.6  per  cent);  York,  Pa.  (86  per  cent); 
Sprmgfield,  Mo.  (81.5  per  cent);  Reading,  Pa.  (77.8 
per  cent);  Wichita,  Kans.  (77.7  per  cent);  Harris- 
burg, Pa.  (77.2  per  cent);  Lima,  Ohio  (76.9  per  cent); 
Lancaster,  Pa.  (75.4  percent);  and  Newark,  Ohio  (75.1 
per  cent).  There  are  45  cities  of  this  class  where  the 
proportion  of  native  whites  of  native  parentage  was 
less  than  one-third.  The  percentage  was  very  low 
in  Lawrence,  Mass.  (13.6),  Passaic,  N.  J.  (13.8),  and 
Woonsocket,  R.  I.  (15). 

Among  the  179  cities  consi<lered  there  are  27  m 
which  the  foreign-born  whites  exceeded  one-third  of 
the  total  population.  A majority  of  these  cities  (14) 
are  in  the  New  England  states,  9 are  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  and  only  4 (Duluth,  Minn.;  Ijorain, 
Ohio;  El  Paso,  Tex.;  and  Superior,  Wis.)  are  in  other 
divisions.  The  maximum  ])ercentago  of  foreign-boru 
whites  was  found  hi  Passaic,  N.  J.,  where  they  formed 
more  than  one-half  of  the  population  in  1910  (52  jier 
ceni ).

> Ratio  not  shown,  the  number  of  females  being  less  than  100. 


There  were  in  the  United  States  in  1910,  47,332,277 
males  and  44,639,989  females,  or  106  males  to  each 
100  females.  In  most  European  countries  females 
outnumber  males,  the  number  of  males  to  100  females, 
according  to  recent  censuses,  being  93.7  in  England 
and  Wales,  96.7  in  France,  97.4  in  the  German  Empire, 
97  in  Switzerland,  99  in  Italy,  96.5  in  Austria,  99.1 
in  Hungary,  and  98.9  in  Russia. 

The  excess  of  males  in  the  United  States  is  partly 
due  to  extensive  immigration,  a much  larger  propor- 
tion of  the  immigrants  being  males  than  females. 
In  the  native  white  population  of  the  United  States, 
however,  there  is  also  an  excess  of  males  over  females. 
The  number  of  males  in  this  class  in  1910  was 
34,654,457  and  the  number  of  females  33,731,955,  the 
ratio  being  102.7  males  to  each  100  females. 

Considerable  differences  in  sex  distribution  appear 
among  the  several  classes  of  population  in  the  United 
States.  There  is  a great  excess  of  males  in  the  Chinese 
and  Japanese  population,  and  among  the  foreign- 
born  whites  in  1910  there  were  129.2  males  to  100 
females.  The  variations  in  sex  distribution  among 
the  several  native  groups — the  negroes,  the  Indians 
(these  two  classes  being  practically  aU  native),  and  the 
three  parentage  groups  of  native  whites — are  not 
easily  explained.  They  may  in  some  degree  reflect 
variations  in  the  ratio  between  male  and  female 
births  combined  with  differences  in  the  death  rates, 
particularly  of  young  children,  in  the  respective 
groups.  Among  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage 
in  1910  there  were  104  males  to  100  females,  but  among 
those  of  foreign  parentage  there  was  an  almost 
exact  equality  of  the  sexes.  Among  native  whites  of 
mixed  parentage  the  females  outnumbered  the  males, 
72497°— 13 7 


and  tills  was  also  the  case  among  the  negroes,  the  ratio 
for  the  negroes  being  98.9  males  to  100  females. 
Among  the  Indians  the  males  were  in  the  majority. 

Males  increased  more  rapidly  than  females  in  the 
United  States  from  1900  to  1910.  The  former  in- 
creased from  38,816,448  to  47,332,277,  an  increase  of 
8,515,829,  or  21.9  percent;  the  latter  from  37,178,127 
to  44,639,989,  an  increase  of  7,461,862,  or  20.1 
per  cent.  There  were  106  males  to  100  females  in 
1910  as  compared  with  104.4  in  1900.  The  increas- 
ing predominance  of  males  among  immigrants  largely 
accounts  for  this  difference  in  the  rate  of  increase 
of  the  two  sexes.  Little  change  occurred  in  the  sex 
ratio  for  the  native  population,  but  among  the  foreign- 
born  whites  the  ratio  increased  from  117.4  males  to 
100  females  in  1900  to  129.2  in  1910. 

Comparison  with  earlier  censuses. — Table  22  shows, 
for  each  census  from  1820  to  1910,  the  number  of 
males  and  females  in  the  total  population,  and  the 
ratio  of  males  to  females  for  the  total  population, 
and  for  the  whites  and  negroes  separately;  and  also, 
for  each  census  from  1850  to  1910,  the  ratio  for  the 
native  whites  and  the  foreign-bom  whites.

The  sex  ratio  of  the  total  population,  while  it  has 
not  varied  greatly  since  1820,  reveals  a tendency  to 
an  increasing  preponderance  of  males,  largely  accounted 
for,  no  doubt,  by  increasing  immigration.  The  rather 
marked  decline  in  the  ratio  of  males  to  females 
revealed  by  the  census  of  1870  probably  reflects  the 
effects  of  the  Civil  War.  The  decline  between  1890 
and  1900  is  attributable  to  the  check  to  immigration 
consequent  upon  the  financial  crisis  of  1893.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  enormous  inxmigration  between  1900 
and  1910  resulted  in  a relative  excess  of  males  in  1910 
greater  than  recorded  by  any  previous  census.  The 
excess  of  males  over  females  has,  at  every  census  since 
1830,  been  confined  to  the  wliites,  there  being  a slight 
excess  of  females  over  males  in  the  negro  population. 
The  sex  of  the  negro  population  was  not  reported  prior 
to  1820.  For  the  whites  the  number  of  males  to  100 
females  in  1790  was  103.8,  and  both  in  1800  and  1810 
it  was  104. 

There  has  been  little  variation  in  the  ratio  of  males 
to  females  in  the  native  white  population  since  1880,

but  the  ratio  in  1870 — 100.6  males  to  100  females — 
was  aj)2)reciably  lower  than  at  the  subsequent  cen- 
suses. Among  foreigii-born  whites  the  ratio  of 
males  to  females  was  higher  in  1910  than  at  any  of 
the  )>rece(ling  censuses  for  which  figures  are  available.

only  large  class  in  which  there  has  been  a material 
change  in  sex  distribution  since  1 900. 

The  accompanying  map  shows  graphically  the  dif- 
ferences among  the  states  in  the  ratio  of  males  to 
females  in  the  total  population  for  1910.

The  preponderance  of  males  in  the  aggregate  popu- 
lation in  1910  was  most  marked  in  the  Pacific  and 
Mountain  divisions,  with  ratios,  respectively,  of  129.5 
and  127.9  males  to  100  females.  The  proportion  of 
males  was  lowest  in  New  England,  where  there  was  a 
slight  excess  of  females  over  males,  and  in  the  South 
Atlantic  and  East  South  Central  divisions.  Except  in 
the  East  South  Central  division,  where  the  ratio  of 
males  to  females  was  the  same  in  1900  as  in  1910,  and  in 
the  Mountain  division,  where  it  decreased  slightly  (from 
128  to  127.9),  the  proportion  of  males  in  each  division 
was  greater  in  1910  than  in  1900.  The  proportion  of 
males  increased  in  every  state  east  of  the  Mississippi 
except  in  Kentucky  and  Teimessee,  where  the  changes 
were  insignificant.  West  of  the  Mississippi  the  pro- 
portion increased  in  9 states,  decreased  in  12  states, 
and  remained  unchanged  in  1 state. 

The  sex  distribution  of  the  total  population  in  any 
state  is  more  or  less  affected  by  immigration  from  for- 
eign countries  and  b}'^  migratoiy  movements  from  or 
to  other  states.  The  ratio  of  males  t o females  among 


the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  is  considerably 
affected  by  intemtate  migration.  In  general,  men  are 
more  apt  to  migrate  than  women.  As  in  the  case  of 
the  aggregate  population,  the  excess  of  males  among 
native  whites  of  native  parentage  was  greatest  in  the 
Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions,  which  have  grown 
rapidly  through  migration  from  farther  east,  the  ratios 
in  1910  being,  respectively,  119.8  and  117.4  males  to 
100  females.  In  two  of  the  eastern  divisions,  the  New 
England  and  Middle  Atlantic,  there  was  an  excess  of 
females  over  males  in  this  class.  The  number  of  males 
to  100  females  in  1910  in  the  District  of  Columbia 
was  lower  than  in  any  of  the  states.  Among  the 
states  it  was  lowest  in  Massachusetts  (95.2)  and 
highest  in  Nevada  (161.3),  Wyoming  (151.8),  Montana 
(139.6),  and  Arizona  (135). 

In  every  division,  and  in  every  state  except  Mas- 
sachusetts, Virginia,  Arkansas,  Okhdioma,  and  New 
Mexico,  the  proportion  of  males  among  the  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  jtarenl  age  was  lower  than  it 
was  among  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage.  In

each  of  the  five  divisions  east  of  the  Mississippi  the 
males  in  the  former  class  wore  outnumbered  by  the 
females.  Tl\e  lowest  ratio  shown  for  any  division  was 
that  for  the  East  South  Central,  94.5  males  to  100 
femidcs.

In  the  foreign-born  white  population  the  number  of 
males  to  100  females  in  1910  was  highest  in  the  Moun- 
tain division  (189.6),  almost  as  high  in  the  Pacific  divi- 
sion (181.9),  and  lowest  in  New  England  (104.8).  In 
the  other  divisions  it  ranged  from  120.9  in  the  Middle 


Atlantic  to  146.9  in  the  South  Atlantic.  The  highest 
state  ratios  were  for  Nevada  (331.4  to  100),  Wyoming 
(287.2),  West  Virginia  (261 .8),  Montana  (238.4),  Idaho 
(227.5),  and  Oregon  (209.9);  the  lowest  was  that  for 
Massachusetts  (99.5).  In  every  division,  and  in  every 
state  except  Virguiia,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  and  Ar- 
kansas, the  proportion  of  males  among  foreign-bom 
whites  was  greater  in  1910  than  it  was  in  1900. 

The  negro  population  in  1910  showed  an  excess  of 
females  in  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South  Central 
divisions,  the  two  divisions  where  negroes  are  most 
numerous,  but  a slight  excess  of  males  appeared  in 
the  West  South  Central  division.  Among  the  other 
divisions  females  were  in  excess  in  the  New  England 
and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions  only,  the  excess  of  males 
in  the  other  four  divisions  bemg  doubtless  due  to  a pre- 
ponderance of  males  among  negroes  migrating  from 
the  South. 

The  sex  distribution  of  the  Indian,  the  Chinese,  and 
the  Japanese  population  in  1910  is  shown  in  Table 
24  for  the  United  States  and  for  the  states  in  which 
these  elements  are  relatively  numerous.

URBAN  AND  RURAJL  POPULATION. 

Table  27  gives  tJie  latio  of  males  to  females  in  the 
total  population  and  the  principal  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  classes  in  urban  and  in  lural  communi- 
ties, respectively,  for  the  countiy  as  a whole  and  for 
each  division  separately.  Table  28  shows  the  corre- 
sponding classification  by  sex.  The  accompanying  dia- 
gram shows  graphically  the  ratios  for  each  geographic 
division. 

MALES  TO  100  FEMALES  IN  URBAN  AND  RURAL 
COMMUNITIES:  1910. 

NUMBER 


male  eemale 

Of  the  aggregate  urban  population  of  the  United 
States  in  1910,  21,496,181  were  males  and  21,127,202 
females,  the  number  of  males  to  100  females  being 
101.7.  Of  the  aggregate  rural  population,  25,836,096 


were  males  and  23,512,787  females,  the  number  of 
males  to  100  females  bemg  109.9.  In  each  class  of  the 
population  the  proportion  of  males  increased  between 
1900  and  1910 — in  the  urban,  from  98.7  to  101.7  males 
to  100  females,  and  in  the  rural,  from  108.5  to  109.9, 

In  every  division  also  the  proportion  of  males,  both 
m the  urban  and  in  the  rural  population,  increased 
between  1900  and  1910;  and  in  every  division,  as  in 
the  country  as  a whole,  the  proportion  of  males  in 
rural  communities  was  greater  than  hi  urban.  In 
the  rural  population  of  each  division  the  males 
outnumbered  the  females,  but  in  the  urban  popu- 
lation of  three  divisions — the  New  England,  South 
Atlantic,  and  East  South  Central — the  females  out- 
numbered the  males. 

The  fact  that  females  form  a lai’ger  proportion  of  the 
population  m urban  than  in  rural  communities  through- 
out the  United  States  exists  despite  the  fact  that  the 
foreign-born  whites — a class  hi  which,  as  previously 
noted,  males  are  greatly  in  the  majority — are  largely 
concentrated  in  cities. 

The  higher  proportion  of  females  in  the  cities  is 
generally  attributed,  at  least  hi  part,  to  the  fact  that 
the  city  as  compared  with  the  country  affords  more 
opportunities  for  women  to  find  employment.  Differ- 
ences in  birth  and  death  rates  also  probably  affect  it..

The  proportion  of  males  is  lower  in  urban  than  in 
rural  communities  not  only  for  the  total  population, 
but  also  for  each  of  the  principal  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  groups.  Thus  in  1910  in  the  native  white 
population  of  native  parentage  there  were  99.3  males 
to  100  females  in  urban  communities  as  compared  with 
106.7  in  rural.  For  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage  the  ratios  were,  respectively,  94.6  to 
100  for  urban  and  109.5  to  100  for  rural  communities. 
A still  greater  disparity  appeared  in  the  case  of  the 
foreign-bom  whites,  there  being  118.9  males  to  100 
females  (itself  a high  ratio)  in  this  class  in  urban  com- 
munities and  161.1  in  rural  communities.  For  negroes 
the  corresponding  ratios  were  90.8  and  102.1  to  100. 

Especially  striking  are  the  veiy  high  ratios  of  males 
to  females  among  the  foreign-bom  whites  in  the  mral 
population  of  the  South  Atlantic,  Mountain,  and  Pa- 
cific divisions.  The  total  number  of  foreign-bom 
whites  in  the  rural  districts  of  these  divisions,  how- 
ever, is  comparatively  small. 

In  the  three  southern  divisions,  where  negroes  are  the 
most  numerous,  there  was  only  a slight  excess  of 
males  among  the  negroes  in  the  rural  population. 
The  ratio  of  males  to  females  among  negroes  in  the 
urban  communities  of  the  South,  however,  was  par- 
ticularly low,  ranging  in  1910  from  86  males  to  100 
females  in  the  South  Atlantic  division  to  90.6  in  the 
West  South  Central. 


PRINCIPAL  CITIES. 

Table  29  classifies  by  sex  the  total  population  and 
the  principal  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage 
classes  in  each  of  the  50  principal  cities  in  1910,  and 
Table  31  shows  the  corresponding  ratios  of  males  to 
females.  The  total  number  of  persons  of  each  sex  in 
cities  of  25,000  to  100,000  inhabitants  is  shown  in 
Table  30. 

In  28  of  the  50  cities  of  over  100,000  inhabitants  the 
males  outnumbered  the  females  in  1910.  In  39  of  the 
cities  the  proportion  of  males  was  greater  in  1910  than 
it  was  in  1900,  and  in  11  it  was  less.  The  number 
of  males  to  100  females  in  1910  was  greatest  in 
Seattle  (136.2)  and  only  slightly  less  in  Portland, 
Oreg.  (134.5).  Nashville  showed  the  smallest  propor- 
tion of  males,  or  89.6  males  to  100  females. 

Of  the  eight  cities  of  500,000  inhabitants  or  more, 
Baltimore  had  the  lowest  number  of  males  to  100 
females  (92.4)  in  1910  and  Cleveland  the  highest 
(106.6).  The  population  of  New  York  City  was 
almost  evenly  divided  by  sex;  in  Philadelphia  the 
females  outnumbered  the  males;  and  in  Chicago  the 
males  outnumbered  the  females. 

Among  the  negro  population  in  1910  the  females 
outnumbered  the  males  in  28  of  the  cities,  the  pro- 
portion of  males  being  very  low  in  the  southern  cities 
I generally.

POPULATION  21  YEARS  OF  AGE  AND  OVER. 


ALL  PERSONS  21  YEARS  OF  AGE  AND  OVER. 

General  summary : 1910. — Persons  21  years  of  age  and 
over  have  certain  special  legal  rights  with  reference  to 
property,  the  elective  franchise,  and  other  matters. 
Tliis  class  of  the  population  is  further  significant  from 
the  social  and  economic  standpoint,  in  that  it  includes 
the  great  majority  of  breadwinners  and  also  the  great 
majority  of  married  men  and  women.  From  the  po- 
litical standpoint  particular  interest  attaches  to  sta- 
tistics regarding  males  21  years  of  age  and  over, 
although  in  several  states  women  of  that  age  also 
now  have  the  right  to  vote  at  all  elections. 

For  the  United  States,  exclusive  of  Alaska,  Hawaii, 
Porto  Rico,  and  other  outlying  possessions,  the  total 
population  21  years  of  age  and  over  in  1910  was 
51, .554, 905,  representing  56.1  per  cent  of  the  total 
population  of  all  ages. 

This  total  includes  26,999,151  males  and  24,555,754 
females,  the  number  of  males  being  10  per  cent 
greater  than  the  number  of  females.  Table  32,  show- 
ing the  number  of  each  sex  in  1910  for  each  of  the 
principal  classes  of  population,  discloses  an  excess  of 
males  in  each  specified  class  except  that  made  up  of 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage.  Of  a 
total  excess  of  males  amounting  to  2,443,397,  the 
foreign-horn  whites  contributed  1,639,709. 

As  regards  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage,  the 
composition  of  the  female  po])ulation  21  years  of  age 
and  over  <liffers  from  that  of  the  male  in  having  smaller 
percentages  of  foreign-born  whites,  Chinese,  and 


Japanese,  and  larger  percentages  of  the  other  race  and 
nativity  classes,  these  differences  bping  attributable 
mainly  to  the  fact,  previously  noted,  that  immigrants 
include  many  more  males  than  females.  Thus  20.4 
per  cent  of  the  adult  female  population  in  1910 
were  foreign-born  whites,  as  compared  with  24.6  per 
cent  of  the  male,  while  69.4  per  cent  of  the  former  and 
65.6  jier  cent  of  the  latter  wei’e  native  whites  and  9.9 
and  9.1  per  cent,  respectively,  were  negroes.

Sex  ratios,  by  divisions  and  states. — Table  33  gives, 
for  1910  and  1900,  the  total  number  of  each  sex,  and 
also  the  number  of  males  to  100  females,  in  the  popu- 
lation 21  years  of  age  and  over,  by  geographic  divi- 
sions and  states. 

Considered  by  geographic  divisions,  the  number  of 
men  to  100  women  in  1910  ranged  from  98.8  in  New 
England  -the  oidy  division  in  which  women  outnum- 
bered men — to  144.9  in  the  Pacific  division  and  148.6

ohna,  and  South  Carolina  were  the  only  states  in  1910 
in  which  women  outnumbered  men.  The  District  of 
Columbia,  however,  showed  a larger  proportion  of 
women  than  any  of  the  states. 

There  were  two  states,  Nevada  and  Wyoming,  in 
which  men  outnumbered  women  by  more  than  2 to  1 


and  live  other  states  in  which  there  were  more  than  1.50 
men  to  every  100  women.  These  states  are  all  in  the 
Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions. 

In  a majority  of  the  states,  as  indicated  by  the  sex 
ratios,  as  well  as  in  the  United  States  as  a whole,  the 
number  of  men  increased  between  1900  and  1910  faster 
than  the  number  of  women.  For  the  United  States 
the  number  of  men  to  every  100  women  increased 
from  107.6  in  1900  to  110  in  1910.  The  states  in  which 
the  ratio  increased  include  all  those  east  ol  the  Missis- 
sippi River  except  Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  but  only 
six  states  west  of  that  river.

In  1910  there  were  in  the  United  States  26,999,151 
men  21  years  of  age  and  over,  constituting  29.4  per 
cent  of  the  total  population,  as  compared  with 
21,134,299,  constituting  27.8  per  cent  of  the  popu- 
lation, in  1900.  Men  of  21  and  over  formed  57  per 
cent  of'the  total  male  population  in  1910  and  54.4  per 
cent  in  1900. 

It  should  not  be  assumed  that  these  statistics  show 
the  number  of  men  having  the  right  to  vote.  Aside 
from  the  fact  that  the  totals  given  include  unnatural- 
ized persons  of  foreign  birth,  there  are  in  some  of  the 
states  restrictions,  chiefly  based  on  property  and  edu- 
cation, which  further  Ihnit  the  number  of  men  21 
years  of  age  and  over  who  can  vote. 

In  1910  men  of  21  and  over  constituted  29.8  per 
cent  of  the  white  population,  as  compared  with  25 
per  cent  of  the  negro.  This  difference  is  mainly  due 
to  the  fact  that  many  of  the  whites  are  foreign  born, 
and  the  foreign  bom  consist  more  largely  of  adults 
and  of  males  than  the  natives.  Nearly  one-half  (49.8 
per  cent)  of  the  foreign-born  white  population  in  1910 
consisted  of  men  21  years  of  age  and  over,  while  of 
the  native  white  population  hardly  more  than  one- 
fourth  (25.9  per  cent)  were  men  of  that  age.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Ill  each  of  the  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage 
groups  shown  in  Table  34  (exeept  the  relatively  unun- 
portant  grou])s  of  Indians  and  Chinese)  males  of  21 
and  over  constituted  a larger  proportion  of  the  popula- 
tion in  1910  than  in  1900.  In  the  case  of  the  foreign- 
born  whites  this  change  indicates  a larger  proportion  of 
males  among  the  immigrants  than  formerly.  In  tlie 
other  classes  it  reflects  a change  in  the  age  distribution 
of  the  population,  the  exact  nature  and  cause  of  which 
can  only  be  determined  by  a detailed  study  of  the 
age  statistics. 

Table  35  shows  the  number  of  males  21  years  of 
age  and  over  in  specifled  classes  of  the  population  in 
1910  and  1900,  with  the  citizenship  of  foreign-born 
wliites,  and  the  increase  during  the  decade.

The  number  of  males  21  and  over  increased  5,864,852, 
or  27.8  per  cent,  between  1900  and  1910.  This  is  a 
much  liigher  rate  of  increase  than  that  in  the  total 
population,  wliich  was  2 1 per  cent.  Chiefly  on  account 
of  the  marked  predominance  of  adult  males  among 
the  foreign-born  wliites,  the  distribution  of  the  total 
number  of  men  of  21  and  over  among  the  several  color 
or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  groups,  as  shown  in  the 
above  table,  differs  considerably  from  the  distribution 
of  the  total  population  among  those  groups,  as  shown 
in  a prececUng  table  (Table  1).  Practically  one-fourth 
(24.6  per  cent)  of  the  male  population  21  years  of  age 
and  over  in  1910  were  foreign-born  whites,  as  compared 
with  14.5  per  cent  of  the  total  population.  .Native 
wliites  of  native  parentage  constituted  48.9  per  cent  of 
the  total  adult  male  population  and  53.8  per  cent  of  the 
total  population.  The  corresponding  percentages  for 
native  wliites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  were  16.7 
and  20.5,  respectively.  The  percentage  of  negroes  in 
the  male  jiopulation  of  21  and  over  was  9. 1,  as  com])ared 
with  10.7  in  the  total  population.  The  proportion  of 


foreign-born  whites  in  the  whole  number  of  males  21 
years  of  age  and  over  was  higher  in  1910  than  in  1900, 
while  that  of  the  two  principal  native  white  groups  and 
of  all  colored  races  except  the  Japanese  was  lower. 

Of  the  6,646,817  foreign -born  whites  in  1910, 
3,034,117,  or  45.6  per  cent,  were  returned  as  natural- 
ized; in  1900  the  percentage  naturalized  was  58.  The 
naturalized  foreign-born  whites  in  1910  constituted 
11.2  per  cent  of  the  total  male  population  21  years 
of  age  and  over.  Those  reported  as  aliens  in  1910 
numbered  2,266,535,  or  considerably  more  than  twice 
the  number  so  reported  in  1900.  It  is  probable  that 
most  of  the  considei’able  number  of  foreign-born 
whites  whose  condition  as  to  citizenship  was  not  re- 
ported were  also  aliens.  The  increase  in  the  propor- 
tion of  aliens  reflects  the  fact  that  a larger  proportion 
of  the  foreign-born  whites  in  1910  were  recent  arrivals 
than  was  the  case  in  1900. 

Divisions  and  states. — Statistics  regarding  males  21 
years  of  age  and  over,  by  divisions  and  states,  are  pre- 
sented in  Table  36  on  a subsequent  page.  The  relative 
importance  of  the  principal  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  classes  in  the  adult  male  population 
is  graphically  shown  in  the  diagram  on  the  opposite 
page. 

Marked  differences  appear  among  the  divisions  and 
states  with  respect  to  the  proportion  which  men  of  21 
and  over  form  of  the  total  population.  These  differ- 
ences are  due  to  differences  in  the  ratio  of  males  to 
females  (compare  Tables  23,  25,  and  26)  or  to  differ- 
ences in  the  age  distribution  of  the  population,  or  to 
both  causes  combined.  States  which  receive  large 
accessions  to  their  population,  either  from  foreign 
countries  or  from  other  parts  of  the  United  States,  have 
in  general  a materially  larger  proportion  of  men  of  21 
and  over  in  their  population  than  the  other  states. 
Among  the  geographic  divisions,  the  Pacific  and  the 
Mountain  divisions  showed  the  highest  proportions  in 
1910  (38.6  per  cent  and  34.7  per  cent,  respectively). 
Very  little  difference  appears  among  the  four  northern 
divisions,  in  each  of  which  the  proportion  was  prac- 
tically tliree-tenths,  while  in  each  of  the  tlnee  divisions 
of  the  South  the  proportion  was  about  one-fourtE.  In 
every  division,  and  in  fact  in  every  state  except  New 
Hampshire,  Montana,  and  Colorado,  the  proportion 
of  males  21  years  of  age  and  over  was  liigher  in  1910 
than  in  1900. 

In  the  three  southern  divisions,  where  there  are 
comparatively  few  foreign  born,  the  distribution  of 
males  21  years  of  ago  and  over  among  the  several  color 
or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  groups  is  not  ma- 
terially different  from  the  corresponding  distribution 
of  the  total  population.  (Compare  percentages  in  the 
last  ten  columns  of  Table  36  with  percentages  in  Table 
14.)  In  the  North  and  West,  however,  chiefly  because

of  the  high  proportion  of  adult  males  among  the  foreign- 
born  whites,  the  distribution  of  the  men  of  21  and 
over  among  the  several  classes  differs  materially 
from  the  distribution  of  the  total  population.  In  the 
New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  constituted  in  1910  not 
more  than  two-fifths  of  the  men  of  21  and  over  and 
only  slightly  exceeded  the  foreign-born  whites  in  num- 
ber. Nearly  three-fifths  of  the  total  number  of  men 
21  yearn  of  age  and  over  in  these  two  divisions  were 
either  bom  abroad  or  had  one  or  both  parents  born 
abroad.  In  the  East  North  Central,  West  North  Cen- 
tral, Mountain,  and  Pacific  divisions,  also,  less  than 
half  the  males  of  21  and  over  were  native  whites  of 
native  parentage. 

In  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  New  York,  Wis- 
consin, Minnesota,  North  Dakota,  and  Utah  less  than 
one-third  of  the  men  of  21  and  over  in  1910  were 
native  whites  of  native  parentage.  In  each  of  the 
states  just  named  except  Utah,  and  also  in  Connecti- 
cut, New  Jersey,  Illinois,  Michigan,  Montana,  Arizona, 
and  Washington,  more  than  one-third  of  the  total 
number  were  foreign-born  whites,  the  proportion  in 
fact  exceeding  two-fifths  in  7 out  of  the  13  states. 

Taking  the  United  States  as  a whole,  the  percentage 
of  foreign-born  whites  in  the  total  male  population  21 
years  of  age  and  over  increased  from  23.2  in  1900 
to  24.6  in  1910.  This,  however,  was  the  net  result 
of  diverse  changes  in  different  parts  of  the  coimtry, 
the  changes  in  some  sections  being  much  more 
pronounced. 

In  all  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  states 
there  was  an  increase,  and  in  most  cases  a marked  in- 
crease, in  the  percentage  of  foreign-bom  whites  in  the 
total  male  population  2 1 years  of  age  and  over.  In  New 
York  the  percentage  increased  from  38  in  1900  to  43  in 
1910;  in  Massachusetts,  from  40.7  to  44.4;  and  in 
Pennsylvania,  from  26.7  to  32.1.  In  three  of  the 
East  North  Central  states — Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Illi- 
nois— the  percentage  of  foreign-born  whites  in  tins 
class  of  the  population  increased ; in  Michigan  and  Wis- 
consin, on  the  other  hand,  the  percentage  decreased. 
It  decreased  also  in  every  West  North  Central  state — 
from  58.3  to  45.8  in  North  Dakota,  from  40.3  to  30.6 
in  South  Dakota,  and  from  51.5  to  46.4  in  Minnesota, 
the  other  states  of  the  division  showing  less  striking 
decreases.  The  percentage  either  remained  practi- 
cally stationary  or  decreased  somewhat  in  every  Moim- 
tain  state  except  Arizona.  In  two  of  the  Pacific  states, 
Washington  and  Oregon,  the  percentage  increased, 
while  in  California  it  declined  slightly.  In  none  of 
the  Southern  states  were  the  changes  in  the  percent- 
age of  foreign-born  whites  among  males  21  years  and 


over  very  notable  except  in  West  Virginia,  where 
the  ])ercontage  increased  from  5.2  in  1900  to  10.3  in 


1910.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Urban  and  rural  communities. — Table  37  shows,  for 
each  geof'raphic  division,  tlio  number  of  males  21 
years  of  af^e  and  over  in  1910  in  urban  and  rural  com- 
munities, respectively,  classified  according  to  color 
or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage.  The  percentages 
formed  by  the  several  classes  of  population  are  also 
shown  graphically  in  the  accompanying  diagram. 

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  males  21  years  of 
age  and  over  formed  a larger  proportion  of  the  total 
population  in  1910  in  urban  than  in  rural  commimi- 
ties,  but  the  opposite  was  the  case  in  the  New  Eng- 
land, Middle  Atlantic,  and  Mountain  divisions. 

In  the  urban  communities  of  the  United  States  as  a 
whole  in  1910,  only  38.2  per  cent  of  the  males  21  years 
of  age  and  over  were  native  wliites  of  native  parentage^ 
wliile  34.3  per  cent  were  foreign-born  whites  and 
20.8  per  cent  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  par- 
entage; thus  considerably  over  one-half  of  the  total 
either  were  born  abroad  or  had  one  or  both  parents 
born  abroad.  In  rural  communities,  on  the  other 
hand,  nearly  three-fifths  (59.4  per  cent)  of  the  males 
of  2 1 years  and  over  were  native  whites  of  native  par- 
entage, only  27.7  per  cent  being  foreign-born  whites 
and  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage.  In 
the  iVIiddle  Atlantic  and  New  England  divisions  the 
proportion  of  native  whites  of  native  parentage  among 
males  of  21  years  and  over  in  m’ban  communities 
was  especially  low  (30.2  and  33.7  per  cent,  respec- 
tively), and  the  proportion  of  foreign-born  whites 
especially  high  (44.2  and  44  per  cent,  respectively).

in  somowbat  less  detail  for  cities  having  from  25,000  to 
100,000  inhabitants  are  presented  in  Table  39. 

Among  the  cities  of  100,000  mbabitants  or  more  in 
1910  there  were  seven  in  which  males  21  years  of  age

popidation,  namely,  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  Los  Angeles, 
Oakland,  Portland,  Oreg.,  San  Francisco,  Seattle, 
and  Spokane.  In  New  York  City  the  percentage  was 
30.1,  and  in  no  city  did  the  percentage  fall  below  26.

Citizenship  of  foreign-born  white  males.-— Statistics  as 
to  the  citizenship  of  foreign -born  wdiite  males  21  years 
of  age  and  over,  as  enumerated  in  1910,  are  given  in 
Table  40.  Of  tlie  6,646,817  foreign-born  white  males 
21  years  of  age  and  over  in  the  United  States  in  1910, 
45.6  per  cent  were  reported  as  naturalized,  8.6  per 
cent  as  having  taken  out  their  first  naturalization 
papers,  and  34.1  per  cent  as  aliens,  while  for  11.7 
per  cent  no  report  as  to  citizenship  was  secured.  As 
already  stated,  it  is  probable  that  much  the  larger 
proportion  of  this  last  group  are  aliens.  Nevertheless, 
on  account  of  the  marked  variat  ions  in  the  relative 
numbers  of  those  for  whom  there  were  no  reports 
regarding  (dtizenship  in  the  different  states  and  geo- 
graphic divisions,  comparisons  of  the  percentiiges  for 
those  naturalized,  those  having  first  papers,  and  aliens 
are  somewhat  unsatisfactory. 


It  is  evident,  however,  that  in  those  geographic 
divisions  in  which  a large  part  of  the  foreign-born 
population  consists  of  recent  immigrants — notably 
the  New  England,  Middle  Atlantic,  South  Atlantic, 
Mountain,  and  Pacific  divisions — the  proportion  of 
the  foreign-born  white  males  of  21  years  and  over  who 
are  naturalized  is  much  lower  than  in  the  divisions 
which  have  a relatively  smaller  proportion  of  recent 
immigrants,  particularly  the  East  North  Central  and 
West  North  Central.  Many  of  these  immigrants  have 
been  here  too  short  a time  to  become  natiiialized. 
Among  the  states  West  Virginia  had  the  lowest  pro- 
portion naturalized  (20.9  percent),  Arizona  and  Maine 
coming  next.  The  proportion  naturalized  excec'ded 
three-fifths  in  Kentucky,  Iowa,  Nebraska,  and  Minne- 
sota. Among  the  geographic  divisions  the  Middle 
Atlantic  had  the  lowest  percentage  naturalized  (38.7).

FEMALES  21  YEARS  OF  AGE  AND  OVER. 

Table  42  gives  the  number  of  females  21  years  of 
age  and  over  in  1910,  classified  according  to  color  or 
race,  nativity,  and  parentage,  by  geographic  divisions 
and  states. 

As  already  noted,  the  composition  of  the  adult 
female  population  according  to  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  dilfers  from  that  of  the  adult  male 
population  principally  in  including  a smaller  percent- 
age of  foreign  born.  This  difference,  varying  in  de- 
gree, appears  in  the  figures  for  every  state  as  well  as  in 
j those  for  the  United  States.  Apart  from  this,  the  com- 
I position  of  the  female  population  in  the  different  states 
I or  sections  naturally  corresponds  to  that  of  the  male.

The  total  number  of  males  from  18  to  44  years  of 


age  in  1910  was  20,473,684,  constituting  22.3  per  cent 
of  the  total  population  of  the  country  and  43.3  per  cent 
of  the  total  male  population.  Males  of  this  ago  in 
1900  constituted  21.3  per  cent  of  the  total  population 
and  41.7  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  males.  In 
1910,  48.7  per  cent  of  the  males  18  to  44  years  of  age 
were  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  19.1  percent

AGE  AND  MAIUTAL  CONDITION. 


AGE  STATISTICS. 


Introduction. — This  cha])tor  contains  a sununary  of 
the  (lata  relative  to  age,  and  to  the  maiital  condition 
of  the  population,  reported  at  the  Tliirteenth  Census, 
taken  as  of  April  15,  1910,  with  comparative  figures 
for  prior  censuses.  Statistics  are  presented  for  the 
geograpliic  divisions,  the  states,  and  tlie  jjrincipal  cities 
of  the  United  States.  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  Rico,  and 
other  outlying  possessions  are  not  included. 

It  is  impossible  to  claim  entire  accuracy  for  census 
statistics'  of  age.  Some  people  do  not  know  their  true 
ages;  some  people  seem  deliberately  to  report  them 
incorrectly;  and  the  reports  for  a good  many  persons 
are  not  made  by  the  persons  themselves,  but  by  others 
who  have  not  exact  knowledge  as  to  the  age.  There 
is  a conspicuous  tendency  to  report  ages  in  round 
numbers;  the  number  reported  as  40  years  of  age,  for 
example,  is  far  greater  than  the  number  reported  as 
either  39  or  41.  In  the  present  report,  however,  indi- 
vidual years  are  not  shown,  but  only  groups  of  years. 
Wlien  the  ages  are  combined  into  groups  of  5,  10,  pr 
more  yeai’s  the  margin  of  error  is  probably  small. 

UNITED  STATES  AS  A WHOLE. 

Classification  by  5-year  age  periods:  1910. — Table  1, 
page  122,  shows  for  1910,  by  5-year  age  periods,  the 
population  of  the  United  States  as  a whole  and  of  each 
of  the  principal  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  classes, 
with  a further  distinction  according  to  sex.  Table  2 
shows  the  relative  importance  of  the  different  age  * 
groups  by  means  of  percentages. 

The  facts  brought  out  by  the  tables  can  be  much 
more  clearly  seen  by  means  of  diagrams.  The  diagram 
on  this  page  presents  the  age  distiibution  of  the  total 
population  according  to  sex.  The  percentages  which 
are  shown  m connection  with  the  diagram  differ  from  ; 
those  in  Table  2,  in  order  to  permit  a comparison  of  the 
relative  number  of  males  and  females  in  each  age 
group.  In  Table  2 the  percentage  distribution  by  i 
age  for  males  is  based  on  the  total  male  population  i 
and  for  females  on  the  total  female  j)opulation,  but 
in  the  diagram  the  percentages  for  each  sex  are  based 
upon  the  total  population.  For  example,  the  diagram 
shows  that  males  15  to  19  years  of  age  form  4.9  per 
cent  of  the  total  population  wliile,  as  shown  in  Table  2, 
they  form  9.6  per  cent  of  the  male  population. 

Where  a population  is  maintained  entirely  by  nat- 
ural increase  the  number  at  any  given  year  of  age 
will,  of  course,  be  determined  by  the  births  in  a corre- 
sponding earlier  year,  minus  the  deaths  which  have 
occurred  among  persons  born  in  that  year.  Since  1 


death  claims  its  victims  at  all  ages,  the  number  of 
survivors  will,  under  all  ordinary  conditions,  diminish 
with  advancing  age,  so  that  if  the  figures  for  the  two 
sexes  are  represented  on  opposite  sides  of  a vertical 
axis  a diagram  showing  age  distribution  takes  aj)- 
proximately  the  form  of  a pyramid  or  triangle.  The 
death  rate,  however,  is  not  uniform  at  all  ages.  It  is 
very  high  dui’ing  the  first  year  after  birth,  decreases 
gradually  until  about  the  twelfth  year,  and  then 
increases  slowly  until  middle  life,  after  which  the  ac- 
celeration is  rapid.  As  the  result  of  these  variations, 
the  age  diagram  for  a normal  jjopulation  is  not  a per- 
fect pyramid,  but  is  slightly  bell-shaped.  There  is 
also  some  difference  between  the  two  sexes  in  a normal 
population  with  respect  to  the  number  born  and  the 
death  rates  at  different  ages,  so  that  the  age  diagram 
would  not  be  altogether  symmetrical.

111  tho  caso  of  tho  Uuitod  States  tlio  distriliutiou  by 
ago,  and  more  csjioeially  liy  sex  at  did'erent  ages,  is 
inatorially  affected  by  tlie  jiresenoe  of  the  foreign  born. 
The  iininigrants  are  mostly  of  adult  age  when  they 
arrive  in  this  country  and  coinjirise  more  males  tlian 
females.  Consequently  the  liars  in  the  diagram  on 
page  124  representing  the  age  jieriods  of  adult  life  ari^ 
somewhat  longer  than  they  would  be  for  a ])opulation 
recruited  soleh’  by  natural  increase,  and  the  side  of 
the  diagram  ro^iresenting  the  males  is  extended  dis- 
])roportionatel3'. 

The  wide  differences  in  the  age  distribution  of  the 
principal  classes  of  tho  population  are  best  shown  b}' 
the  four  accomjianying  diagrams,  which  relate  to  the 
native  whites  of  native  parentage,  the  native  whites 
of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  the  foreign-born 
whites,  and  the  negroes,  respectively. 

No  two  of  these  diagrams  are  identical  in  form,  and 
the  only  one  whose  shape  has  not  been  influenced 
more  or  less  by  immigration  is  that  representing  the 
negro  population.  The  extraordinary  character  of 
the  age  distribution  of  the  foreign-born  whites  is  ob- 
vious at  a glance.  The  number  in  the  older  age  groups 
actual^  exceeds  materially  the  number  m the  younger 
age  groups,  which  is  not  true  of  any  of  the  native 
classes.  The  great  excess  of  males  over  females  in 
this  class  is  also  conspicuously  shown.  The  sex  and 
age  distribution  of  the  Chinese  and  Japanese,  who  are 
largely  foreign  born,  is  also  highly  abnormal,  as  shown 
by  Table  2. 

The  influence  of  the  foreign  born  upon  the  age  dis- 
tribution of  our  population  does  not  cease  upon  their 
arrival  hi  this  country.  The  children  born  to  them 
after  their  arrival  are,  of  course,  included  with  the 
native  population,  and  if  the  total  native  population 
were  shown  by  ages  it  would  be  found  that  the  num- 
ber of  children  was  relatively  somewhat  greater  than 
would  be  the  case  if  the  population  were  recruited  solely 
b}’"  natural  increase.  This  condition  is  brought  out 
especially  by  the  diagram  showing  the  native  white 
population  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage.  In  this 
group  the  proportion  of  children  is  somewhat  larger, 
and  the  proportion  of  persons  in  the  most  advanced 
age  groups  much  smaller,  than  in  the  case  of  the  native 
white  population  of  native  parentage  or  the  negro 
pojiulation.  Tliis  is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that  immi- 
gration to  this  country  has  greatly  increased  in  vol- 
ume in  recent  years.  If  immigration  should  fall  oft' 
or  cease  altogether,  it  is  obvious  that  after  a time  the 
age  composition  of  the  second  generation,  consisting 
of  the  cliildren  born  of  immigrants,  would  become 
abnormal  in  having  an  unduly  small — instead  of  an 
unduly  large — proportion  of  persons  in  the  younger 
age  periods. 

Even  the  native  white  population  of  native  jiarent- 
age  is  indirectly  affected  in  its  age  distribution  by 
immigration,  since  the  children  of  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage  are  included  in  the  class  of 
natives  of  native  parentage.  Nevertheless,  the  age 


distribution  of  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  in 
the  United  States  as  a whole  corresponds  very  (;losely 
to  that  of  a normal  population  unaffected  by  migra- 
tion. A comparison  of  the  diagram  for  this  class  with 
that  for  the  negroes,  therefore,  indicates  a|)proximately 
the  relative  tendencies  of  the  two  raises  with  resjiect 
to  bhth  and  mortality  rates.  Among  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  the  percentage  of  jiersons 
in  the  older  age  groups  is  higher  than  among  the 
negroes.  Doubtless  this  difference  is  partly  due  to  a 
lower  death  rate  among  the  native  whites  than  among 
the  negroes,  but  it  may  also  be  affected  by  the  relative 
birth  rate  of  the  two  classes  or  by  changes  in  the  birth 
rate  within  the  same  class.  A decline  in  the  birth  rate 
is  a factor  which  tends  to  reduce  the  relative  imjior- 
tance  of  the  younger  age  groups  and  increase  that  of  the 
older.  It  is  practically  certam  that-  the  bh-th  rate  in 
the  case  of  the  white  jiopulation  of  native  stock  has 
been  steadily  declining  for  many  years.  If  there  is  a 
similar  tendency  among  the  negroes  it  is  probably  of 
more  recent  oi’igin  than  in  the  case  of  the  whites. 
The  proportion  of  persons  under  5 years  of  age  is, 
however,  also  higher  for  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage  than  for  the  negroes,  doubtless  partly  be- 
cause of  the  high  infant  mortality  among  negroes. 

The  diagram  below,  based  on  absolute  numbers,  is 
designed  to  show  primarily  the  contrast  in  age  distribu- 
tion between  the  native  white  and  native  negro  popu- 
lation and  the  foreign-born  white  population.

Classification  by  broader  age  periods:  1910. — For  many 
purposes  it  is  desirable  to  adopt  an  age  classification 
wliich  is  less  detailed  than  the  one  used  in  the  pre- 
ceding tables  and  diagrams  and  at  the  same  time 
corresponds  approximately  to  certain  well-recognized 
periods  of  life.  Thus,  the  years  under  5 may  be 
rouglily  designated  as  early  cliildhood;  those  from  5 
to  14  as  the  school  period;  those  from  15  to  24  as  the 
period  of  youth;  those  from  25  to  44  as  the  prime  of 
life;  those  from  45  to  64  as  middle  or  late  middle  life; 
and  those  65  and  over  as  old  age.

'r!i])lo  3 shows,  for  1910,  the  distribution  of  the  total 
population  of  the  United  States  and  of  the  principal 
race,  Jiativity,  and  parentage  classes  by  sex  accord- 
ing to  these  six  age  periods.  In  this,  as  in  most  of  tlie 
following  tables,  the  insignilicant  number  of  unknown 
age  is  not  shown  separately,  but  is  included  in  tlie 
totals  upon  whicli  the  percentages  for  the  several  age 
periods  are  based.  The  })ercentages  would  scarcely 
tlitfer  at  all  if  they  were  based  on  the  ])0])ulation  of 
Icnown  age  instead  of  the  total  population.

Of  the  pojmlation  of  the  country  as  a whole  in  1910, 
children  under  5 years  of  age  formed  11.6  per  cent; 
children  from  5 to  14,  20.5  per  cent;  young  persons 
from  15  to  24,  19.7  per  cent;  men  and  women  from  25 
to  44,  29.1  per  cent;  those  from  45  to  64,  14.6  per  cent; 
and  those  of  65  and  over,  4.3  per  cent.  Table  4 shows 
clearly  the  differences  already  noted  among  the  sev- 
eral classes  of  the  population.  Thus  among  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  children  under  5 
in  1910  formed  14.2  per  cent  of  the  total,  the  corre- 
sponding percentage  for  native  whites  of  native  parent- 
age being  13.2 ; on  the  other  hand,  only  12.6  per  cent  of 
the  former  were  45  years  of  age  and  over,  as  compared 
with  18.1  per  cent  of  the  latter.  Conspicuously  large  is 
the  proportion  of  the  foreign-born  whites  who  are  in 
the  prime  of  life,  the  percentage  of  this  class  in  the  age 
period  25  to  44  being  44.1,  as  compared  with  26.2  per 
cent  for  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  27.6  for 
the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  and 
26.8  for  the  negroes. 

Table  3 facilitates  comparisons  of  the  relative  num- 
bers of  the  two  sexes  in  different  age  periods.  In  the 
total  population  of  the  country  males  outnumber 
females  in  each  of  the  six  age  periods  designated,  the 
excess  bemg  particularly  great  in  the  age  periods  25  to 
44  and  45  to  64,  where  the  disparity  of  the  sexes  among 
immigrants  has  its  greatest  effect.  Wilde,  as  already 
stated,  the  general  age  distribution  of  the  native  whites 
of  native  parentage,  and  stdl  more,  that  of  the  native 
whites  of  foreign  cy  mixed  parentage,  is  indirectly 
affected  by  immigration,  the  relative  numbers  of  the 
two  sexes  in  those  classes  are,  of  course,  mdependent 
of  immigration  and  dejiend  solely  upon  differences  in 
the  numbers  of  males  and  females  born  and  the  num- 
bers dying  at  different  ages.  Among  the  native  whites 
of  native  parentage  the  males,  according  to  the 
returns,  somewhat  exceed  the  females  in  the  two 
youngest  age  periods  shoivn  in  the  table  and  are  again 
in  excess  m the  age  period  25  to  44,  and  conspicuously 
so  m the  period  45  to  64,  but  in  the  ]ieriod  15  to  24 
years  the  females  shghtly  outnumbered  the  males. 

It  is  not  easy  to  explam  why  the  figures  show  such 
a marked  excess  of  males  over  females  in  the  native 
white  })opulation  of  native  jiarentage,  and  more  par- 
ticularly why  this  excess  should  be  largely  concen- 
trated in  the  age  groups  from  25  to  64  years  of  age. 
If  these  conditions  actually  exist,  they  would  seem  to 
indicate  a much  higher  death  rate  among  females 
than  among  males  in  the  most  active  period  of  life, 
followed  by  a higher  death  rate  among  males  in 
the  later  years.  It  is  improbable,  however,  that  any 
differences  in  the  death  rates  of  the  two  sexes  wholly 
explain  these  conditions.  The  reported  age  distribu- 
tion of  the  two  sexes  and  therefore  the  sex  ratio  by 
ago  groups  may  be  affected  l)y  a gi’cater  tendency  on 
the  part  of  females  to  understate  their  age.  It  is  not 
im])robable,  furthermore,  that  some  ])ersons  of  foreign 
birth  or  of  native  birth  and  foreign  ])arentage  are  re- 
turned at  the  census  as  natives  of  na,tivo  })arentage. 


AGE  DISTRIBUTION.

This  error  would  bo  iiioro  likoly  to  occur  in  the  case  of 
males  than  of  females,  for  the  reason  that  the  former 
jiredominate  among  the  foreign  born  and  for  the 
further  reason  that  the  floating  ])opulation,  for  which 
accurate  information  is  difficult  to  obtain,  consists 
mostly  of  males.  It  is  possible  also  that  the  returns  are 
affected  in  some  slight  degree  by  duplications,  and  this 
source  of  error  would  also  be  more  apt  to  exaggerate 
the  number  of  men  than  of  women,  for  the  reason  that 
men  are  more  likely  to  be  away  from  home  and  there- 
fore are  more  liable  to  be  counted  twice,  once  where 
they  are  and  again  where  they  reside  when  at  home. 

Among  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parent- 
age the  females  are  in  excess  both  in  the  age  period  1 5 
to  24  and  in  that  from  25  to  44,  but  the  males  are  in 
excess  in  the  most  advanced  age  period  as  well  as  m the 
younger  ages.  Among  negroes  also  the  conditions  are 
quite  different  from  those  among  native  whites  of  na- 
tive parentage.  Females  outnumber  males  in  all  of 
the  age  periods  specified  up  to  44  years,  but  males  are 
considerably  in  excess  in  the  periods  45  to  64  and  65 
years  and  over. 

Comparing  the  percentages  in  the  several  age  groups 
for  the  two  sexes,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  greatest 
disparity  in  the  case  of  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage  is  in  the  age  period  45  to  64  years,  which  in 
1910  comprised  14.1  per  cent  of  the  males  but  only  13.2 
per  cent  of  the  females.  On  the  other  hand,  only  4.3 
per  cent  of  the  males  in  this  class  were  65  years  of  age 
and  over,  as  compared  with  4.6  per  cent  of  the  females. 
For  the  negroes  the  most  conspicuous  differences  be- 
tween males  and  females  were  in  the  age  period  15  to 
24  years,  which  comprised  a decidedly  larger  propor- 
tion of  the  total  number  of  females  than  of  the  total 
number  of  males,  and  in  the  age  period  45  to  64  years, 
in  which  the  opposite  was  the  case. 

Comparison  with  previous  censuses. — Table  5 shows 
the  age  distribution  of  the  total  population  of  the 
United  States  in  1910  and  1900,  respectively,  by  five- 
year  periods.  The  differences  between  the  two  cen- 
suses, while  significant,  are  too  small  to  be  very  clearly 
shown  by  means  of  a diagram. 

The  proportion  of  the  total  population  in  each  of 
the  age  periods  under  15  years  was  smaller  in  1910 
than  in  1900,  while  the  proportion  for  the  periods 
from  20  to  69  years,  inclusive,  was  greater  in  1910 
than  in  1900.  The  change  which  is  thus  shown  for  the 
past  decade  is  a continuation  of  a tendency  manifest 
for  some  time  past.  In  1880, 26.7  per  cent  of  the  popu- 
lation was  under  ten  years  of  age;  in  1890,  24.3  per 
cent;  in  1900, 23.7  per  cent;  and  in  1910,  22.2  per  cent. 
Such  a change  might  be  due  to  any  one  or  more  of 
three  causes — a declining  birth  rate,  a change  in  mor- 


tality rates,  or  increased  immigration.  Doubtless  the 
first  and  third  causes  are  actually  operative.  Mor- 
tality statistics,  however,  indicate  that  there  has  been 
a relatively  greater  reduction,  in  death  rates  among 
children  than  among  adults;  consequently  unless  the 
birth  rate  had  fallen  off  considerably  one  would  have 
ex])ected,  after  allowing  for  other  factors,  a larger 
proportion  of  children  in  1910  than  in  1900.

It  may  be  noted  that  the  proportion  of  centena- 
rians, according  to  the  census  returns,  was  less  in  1910 
than  in  1900.  In  fact,  the  proportion  has  steadily 
decreased  from  census  to  census  for  over  half  a cen- 
tury. The  number  of  centenarians  reported  in  1910 
was  equal  to  4 for  each  100,000  of  the  total  popula- 
tion, while  the  corresponding  ratio  m 1850  was  11.  It 
is  improbable  that  any  such  decrease  in  longevity  has 
actually  occurred.  By  no  means  have  all  those  who 
report  themselves  as  100  years  old  or  more,  in  fact, 
reached  that  age,  and  the  apparent  reduction  in  the 
proportion  of  centenarians  is  probably  due  to  greater 
accuracy  in  the  returns. 

Table  6 compares  the  distribution  of  the  population 
at  the  last  two  censuses,  by  classes,  among  a more 
limited  number  of  age  periods. 

The  most  significant  statistics  in  this  table  are  those 
for  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  and  the 
negroes,  since  the  age  distribution  of  these  two  classes 
is  the  least  distorted  by  the  influence  of  immigration. 
In  both  of  these  classes  the  proportion  in  the  younger 
age  periods  was  somewhat  smaller  in  1910  than  in 
1900,  and  the  proportion  in  the  older  age  periods 
somewhat  greater.

res])ect  to  the  age  distribution  of  the  population  will 
be  seen  from  Table  7 and  the  accompanying  diagram, 
which  show,  by  percentages,  the  distribution  of  the 
total  population  of  each  of  the  nine  geographic  divi-

Tlie  factors  producing  these  differences  in  age  distri- 
bution arc  comjilex.  The  racial  comjiosition  of  the 
population,  the  extent  to  which  it  has  been  recruited 
by  immigration  from  abroad  and  the  ])eriods  at  which 
such  imniigraition  has  chiefly  occurred,  the  relative 


proportions  of  urban  and  rural  population,  and  the 
degree  in  which  the  population  has  gained  or  lost 
through  interstate  migration  are  important  causes 
affectmg  the  age  distribution  of  the  population  of  the 
several  divisions,  aside  from  the  birth  rates  and  death 
rates. 

In  each  of  the  four  northern  divisions,  persons  in 
the  younger  age  periods  form  a smaller  proportion  of 
the  total  population,  and  those  in  the  more  advanced 
age  periods  a larger  proportion,  than  in  any  of  the 
three  southern  divisions.  In  considering  these  differ- 
ences it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  northern 
divisions  contain  relatively  a much  larger  urban 
population  than  the  southern,  and  that  they  have 
received  relatively  far  more  foreign  immigrants, 
while,  on  the  other  hand,  the  South  has  many  more 
negroes  than  the  North.  The  age  period  25  to  44 
years  comprises  a larger  proportion  of  the  total  popu- 
lation in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions  than  in 
any  other  division. 

Table  11,  pages  131  and  132,  shows,  by  divisions, 
the  age  distribution  of  the  total  population  and  of  the 
principal  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  classes  in  1910, 
with  comparative  figures  for  1 900.  A detailed  study  of 
the  absolute  numbers  and  percentages  for  the  several 
classes  will  help  to  explain  the  differences  among  the 
several  divisions  as  regards  the  age  distribution  of  the 
total  population.  It  is  of  particular  interest  to  compare 
thestatistics  with  reference  to  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage — a class  which  is  laz'gely  represented  in  every 
geograjihic  division,  and  whose  age  distribution  is  little 
affected  by  immigration  from  abroad,  although  much 
affected  by  migration  from  one  division  to  another. 
For  tliis  class,  considered  by  itself,  differences  in  ago 
distribution  appear  between  the  Norfh,  the  South,  and 
the  West  winch  correspond  ajiproximately  to  the 
differences  between  these  sections  with  res])ect  to  the 
age  distribution  of  the  total  population.  There  are 
relatively  fewer  children  and  relatively  more  persons 
in  the  [irirne  of  life  and  the  older  ages,  in  the  northern 
divisions  than  in  the  southern.  One  explanation  lor 
this  fact  may  be  that  the  birth  rate  has  declined  in  the 
North  more  than  in  the  South.  In  fact  , t he  North  has 
lost  more  people  in  the  jirimo  of  life  by  migration  to 
the  West  than  has  the  Soidh,  and  had  there  been  no

intorstato  migration  a still  greater  disparity  wotild 
probably  appear  belweeii  the  North  and  the  South 
in  the  age  distribution  of  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage. 

The  most  conspicuous  contrast  is  that  between  the 
New  England  division  and  the  West  South  Central. 
In  the  former  in  1910  only  9.6  per  cent  of  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  were  children  under  5 years 
of  age,  while  29.2  per  cent  were  45  years  of  age  and 
over.  In  the  West  South  Central  division  15.2  per 
cent  of  the  persons  in  this  class  were  \inder  5 years  of 
age,  and  only  13.5  per  cent  were  45  years  of  age  and 
over. 

Although  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions  differ 
considerably  from  each  other  with  respect  to  the  age 
distribution  of  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage, 
in  both,  as  in  the  case  of  the  total  population  of  all 
classes,  persons  from  25  to  44  years  of  age — the  most 
active  ages — constitute  a larger  proportion  of  the 
population  of  this  class  than  in  any  of  the  other 
divisions.  This  is  undoubtedly  due  chiefly  to  migra- 
tion, especially  from  the  northern  divisions,  to  the 
West. 

States. — Table  12,  pages  133  to  135,  shows,  in  abso- 
lute numbers,  by  states,  the  age  distribution  of  the 
total  population  and  of  each  of  the  four  most 
important  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage 
classes.  Table  13,  page  136,  presents  percentages  by 
age  periods  for  the  total  population  of  each  state.  In 
interpreting  the  differences  among  the  states,  the 
causes  already  mentioned  as  affecting  the  conditions 
in  the  several  geographic  divisions  should  be  borne 
in  mind.

per  cent  of  the  total  urban  population,  but  orily  43.2 
per  cent  of  the  rural.

This  great  disparity  is  due  cluefly  to  two  causes: 
First,  the  fact  that  the  foreign  born,  who  when  they 
immigrate  to  this  country  are  mainly  of  adult  age, 
go  chiefly  to  the  cities ; and,  second,  the  fact  that  most 
of  the  native  born  who  move  from  country  to  city  are 
adults  in  the  most  active  period  of  life.  It  is  impossible 
to  draw  any  conclusions  as  to  the  relative  fecundity, 
or  the  relative  longevity,  of  the  ‘urban  and  the  rural 
population  from  the  statistics,  because  of  the  powerful 
effect  of  these  two  causes  on  the  age  distribution. 

DISTRIBUTION  BY  AGE  PERIODS  OF  THE  URBAN  AND 
RURAL  POPULATION,  BY  DIVISIONS:  1910. 


URBAN  AND  RURAL  COMMUNITIES. 

Urban  and  rural  communities  differ  greatly  with 
respect  to  the  age  distribution  of  the  population,  as 
appears  from  Table  8,  which  gives  statistics  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole  in  1910,  and  from  the 
accompanying  diagram,  which  groups  the  ages  into 
three  main  periods.  Urban  connnunities,  as  defined 
by  the  Census  Bureau,  compiise  all  incorporated  places 
of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more,  including  New  England 
towns  of  that  size. 

The  absolute  numbers  presented  in  this  table  arc 
quite  as  significant  as  the  jiercentages.  In  the  United 
States  as  a whole  there  are  many  more  persons  in  each 
of  the  age  groups  comprising  persons  under  20  years 
of  age  in  the  rural  communities  than  in  the  urban 
communities,  but  in  each  of  the  age  groups  com- 
prising persons  from  20  to  54  years  of  age,  which 
embrace  the  most  active  period  of  life,  there  are  more 
persons  in  urban  than  in  rural  communities.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  mral  communities  contained  more 
persons  in  advanced  middle  life  and  old  age.  The 
urban  communities  contamed  in  1910  considerably  less 
than  half  (46.3  per  cent)  of  the  total  population  of  the 
country  of  all  ages,  but  they  contained  over  half  (51.8 
per  cent)  of  the  persons  between  20  and  54  years  of  age. 
There  were  22,925,133  persons  between  20  and  54

It  will  be  seen,  for  example,  that  in  the  case  of  the 
native  whites  of  native  parentage  in  urban  com- 
munities in  1910,  11.5  per  cent  were  under  5 years  of 
age,  as  compared  with  14.2  per  cent  in  rural  com- 
munities; on  the  other  hand,  29.9  per  cent  in  urban 
communities  were  from  25  to  44  years  old,  but  only 
24.1  per  cent  in  rural  communities.  In  the  case  of 
the  foreign-born  whites  the  percentage  under  5 years 
was  practically  the  same  in  urban  as  in  rural  com- 
munities, but  persons  from  25  to  44  years  of  age 
formed  45.6  per  cent  of  the  total  number  in  urban 
communities  and  40.1  per  cent  in  rural  communities. 
Especially  striking  is  the  contrast  among  the  negroes ; 
8.5  per  cent  of  those  in  urban  communities  were  under 
5 years  of  age  and  36.6  per  cent  between  25  and  44 
years,  as  compared  with  14.5  per  cent  and  23.2  per 
cent,  respectively,  of  those  in  rural  communities.  In 
the  case  of  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage,  however,  the  percentage  under  5 years  was 
higher  in  urban  than  in  riiral  communities,  and  there 
was  very  little  difference  between  the  two  classes  of 
communities  with  respect  to  the  percentages  in  the 
age  periods  from  5 to  44  years.  This  exceptional  con- 
dition is  doubtless  due  to  the  fact  that  a fairly  large 
proportion  of  the  earlier  immigrants  into  the  United 


recent  immigrants  have  gone  to  the  cities  and  have 
contributed  large  numbers  of  children  to  the  class  of 
native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  there. 

The  dissimilarity  between  urban  and  rural  com- 
munities with  respect  to  ago  distribution  appears  in  the 
case  of  both  sexes,  as  may  be  seen  from  the  following 
table :

Table  14,  pages  137  and  138,  presents  age  statistics 
for  the  urban  and  rural  population  of  each  of  the  nine 
geographic  divisions  in  1910.  The  statements  with 
regard  to  conditions  in  the  country  as  a whole  will  be 
found  to  hold  true,  with  little  modification,  in  most  of 
the  geographic  divisions. 

PRINCIPAL  CITIES. 

Table  15,  pages  139  to  143,  shows,  for  each  city  of 
100,000  inliabitants  or  more,  in  absolute  numbers  and 
percentages,  the  age  distribution  of  the  total  population 
and  of  the  most  important  color  or  race,  nativity,  and 
parentage  groups. 

Table  16,  pages  144  and  145,  shows  the  age  distribu- 
tion of  the  total  population  of  each  city  of  25,000  to 
100,000  inliabitants. 

The  differences  among  the  various  individual  cities 
with  respect  to  age  distribution  are  largely  attributa- 
ble to  differences  in  the  extent  to  which  the  growth 
of  such  cities  has  been  due  to  migration  from  abroad 
or  from  the  smaller  towns  and  rural  districts  of  this 
country.  It  is  impossible  to  draw  any  conclusions 
as  to  relative  birtli  rates  or  death  rates  from  these

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


MARITAL  CONDITION. 


UNITED  STATES  AS  A WHOLE. 

Id  the  census  statistics  of  marital  condition,  tlie 
terms  “married,”  “widowed,”  or  “divorced”  refer 
1.0  tlie  marital  status  of  the  person  enumerated  at  the 
time  wlien  the  census  was  taken,  so  that  a person,  for 
instance,  who  had  been  widowed  or  divorced  but  had 
remarried  would  be  reported  as  married. 

Table  ] 7 shows,  by  sex,  the  marital  condition  of  the 
total  poj)ulation  of  the  United  States  (exclusive  of  all 
outlvhig  possessions)  as  reported  at  the  census  of  1910.

Of  the  total  number  of  males  of  all  ages  in  1910, 
58  per  cent  were  single,  38.2  per  cent  married,  and 
3.4  per  cent  widowed  or  divorced,  the  corresponding 
percentages  for  females  being  52.7,  39.6,  and  7.5. 

The  number  of  persons  under  15  years  of  age  who 
are  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  is  naturally  in- 
significant, comprising  in  1910  only  994  males  and 
3,713  females.  Statistics  of  marital  condition  are, 
therefore,  usually  confined  to  persons  15  years  of  age 
and  over.  Table  18  summarizes  the  data  for  persons 
of  this  class.

There  were,  in  1910,  32,425,805  males  15  years  of 
age  and  over  and  30,047,325  females,  an  excess  of 
2,378,480  males.  The  number  of  males  to  100 
females  was  107.9.  This  excess  of  males  in  the  adult 
population  of  the  United  States  has  a most  imjiortant 
bearing  upon  the  statistics  of  marital  condition.  It 
accounts  in  part  for  the  fact  that  there  were  12,550,129 
single  men,  as  compared  with  8,933,170  single 
women,  or  3,616,959  more  of  the  former  than  of  the 


latter.  But  a further  explanation  of  this  dispropor- 
tion is  found  in  the  fact  that  women  many  at  an 
earlier  age;  in  other  words,  men  remain  single  longer 
than  women,  therefore  there  are  more  single  men  at 
any  given  time. 

Other  things  being  the  same,  the  proportion  of  the 
total  population  wlio  marry  wdll  be  greater  in  a com- 
munity where  the  sexes  are  numerically  equal  than  in 
one  where  either  sex  outnumbers  the  other.  In  the 
latter  case  it  is  obvious  that  a certain  number  of  per- 
sons of  the  sex  which  is  in  excess  must  remain  sin- 
gle. Considering  one  sex  alone,  however,  it  is  obvious 
that  the  })robability  of  marriage  will  increase  in  pro- 
portion as  that  sex  falls  below  a numerical  equality 
with  the  other  sex  and  decrease  in  proportion  as  it 
exceeds  the  other. 

Probably  remairiage  is  more  common  among  men 
than  among  women,  and  this  may  explain  in  part  the 
great  excess  of  widows  over  wddow'ers.  But  without 
doubt  the  excess  is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that  men 
usually  marry  at  a later  age  than  women,  so  that  the 
marriage  relation  is  more  often  broken  by  death  of 
the  ‘husband  than  by  death  of  the  wdfe.  In  other 
words,  the  excess  of  single  men  over  single  women 
has  as  a natural  correlative  an  excess  of  widows  over 
widowers. 

It  will  be  noted  that  in  the  population  15  years  of 
age  and  over,  there  were,  in  1910,  407,913  more 
married  men  than  married  women  (18,092,600  as 
compared  with  17,684,687),  a condition  largely  ex- 
plainable by  the  presence  in  the  United  States  of 
foreign-born  married  men  who  left  their  wdves  in  their 
native  countries.  The  total  number  of  men  15  years 
of  age  and  over  who  in  1910  had  been  married  (that 
is,  the  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  together)  was 
19,720,152,  or  consitlerabR  less  than  the  number  of 
the  con*esponding  class  of  women,  21,045,983. 

Marked  dilTerences  appear  between  the  percentages 
for  males  and  for  females,  as  showm  by  Table  18.  Of 
the  males,  60.8  per  cent  were  either  married,  widowed, 
or  divorced,  wliile  for  the  females  the  proportion  was 
much  higher,  70  per  cent.  Although  there  were,  in 
absolute  numbers,  more  married  men  than  married 
women,  the  percentage  maiTicd  for  males  (55.8),  be- 
ing based  on  a larger  total,  was  material^  lower  than 
that  for  females  (58.9).  The  i)erccntages  widowed  for 
males  and  for  females  were  4.5  and  10.6,  respectively. 
The  proportions  reported  as  divorced  wore  0.5  per  cent 
for  males  and  0.6  ])er  cent  for  females. 

The  number  of  divorced  persons  reported  by  the 
census,  of  course,  falls  short  of  the  miinber  of  living 
j)ersons  who  have  been  divorced,  as  maiyr  divorced 
])ersons  have  renian-ied,  and  the  census,  as  preriousR 
jKiinted  out,  reports  simjily  the  marital  condition  of 
the  popidation  at  the  date  of  the  enumeration.  At 


MAIUTAL  (X)NDITION.

the  same  time  it  seems  practically  certain  that  the 
census  returns  as  to  the  nuinhcr  of  (livorc(>(l  ])ersons 
not  remarried  are  below  th('  (rue  total,  some  divorced 
persons  luiving  been  reported  as  single,  some  as  mar- 
ried, and  some  as  widowed. 

It  will  be  noted  that  there  were  a limited  number  of 
persons  whose  marital  condition  was  not  reported  by 
the  enumerators.  Tl\e  luimber  and  percentage  of 
such  persons  are  not  separately  shown  ih  the  later 
tables,  as  they  constitute  only  0.2  per  cent  of  the 
aggregate  population.  They  are  in  all  cases  included 
in  the  totals  on  wliich  the  jjercentages  single,  mar- 
ried, widowed,  or  divorced  are  based,  but  the  per- 
centages would  not  be  appreciably  dill'erent  if  based 
exclusively  upon  the  number  of  persons  whose  marital 
condition  was  reported. 

Age  groups. — No  satisfactory  analysis  of  statistics  of 
marital  condition  can  be  made  without  considering  age 
composition.  Aside  from  differences  in  the  relative 
number  of  men  and  women  in  the  population,  the 
proportion  which  the  number  of  persons  who  are  or 
have  been  married  forms  of  the  total  number  of  adults 
depends  on  three  factors;  (1)  the  age  at  which  mar- 
riages take  place;  (2)  the  duration  of  life;  and  (3)  the 
number  who  permanently  remain  single.  Ordinarily 
the  first  factor  has  greater  weight  than  the  others  in 
causing  the  differences  which  appear  in  the  statistics 
for  different  classes  or  communities.  Of  course,  in  all 
cases  the  combined  proportion  of  married,  widowed, 
or  divorced  persons  is  lower  among  young  than 
among  older  persons.  Consequently  differences  be- 
tween classes  or  communities  as  to  the  proportion 
married,  widowed,  and  divorced  in  the  total  number 
of  adults  may  result  merely  from  differences  in  age 
distribution  and  may  not  appear  when  comparisons 
are  confined  to  limited  age  groups. 

Table  19  shows,  for  1910,  the  marital  condition  of 
the  total  population  15  years  of  age  and  over,  classified 
by  sex  and  age.  The  percentages  are  shown  in  the 
accompanying  diagram. 

This  table  shows  a rapid  increase  in  the  combined 
percentage  of  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  persons 
with  each  older  age  group.  For  males,  for  example, 
only  1.2  per  cent  in  the  age  group  15  to  19  years 
were  married,  widowed,  or  divorced,  as  compared  with 
24.6  per  cent  in  the  age  group  20  to  24  years,  64.7 
per  cent  in  the  age  group  25  to  34  years,  and  93.5  per 
cent  in  the  group  65  years  of  age  and  over. 

This  table  brings  out  clearly  the  prevailing  difference 
between  men  and  women  as  to  the  age  of  marriage.  In 
the  age  group  15  to  19  years  the  proportion  married, 
widowed,  or  divorced  in  1910  was  for  males  1.2  per 
cent  and  for  females  11.6  per  cent.  In  the  age  group 
20  to  24  years  the  percentages  were  24.6  for  males  and 
51.4  for  females.’  In  the  succeeding  age  groups  the 
proportions  for  the  sexes  rapidly  approach  equality, 
and  for  persons  of  65  and  over  the  percentage  of  males 
married,  widowed,  or  divorced  (93.5)  was  slightly 
higher  than  the  percentage  of  females  (93.4).

4'lie  (lifToroncos  between  tlie  absolute  numbers  of 
males  and  of  females,  lesjieetively,  in  the  several  mari- 
tal eondition  classes  in  the  various  ap;e  groups,  as 
shown  by  Table  19,  are  conspicuous.  In  each  of  the 
age  grou})s,  except  that  com])rising  persons  65  years  of 
age  and  over,  the  number  of  single  men  in  1910  greatly 
exceeded  tlie  nundier  of  smgle  women.  On  the  other 
hand,  in  the  groups  comprising  persons  from  15  to  34 
years  of  age,  the  number  of  married  females  materially 
exceeded  the  number  of  married  males,  but  the  oppo- 
site was  the  case  in  the  grou])s  comprising  persons  35 
years  of  age  and  over.  In  every  age  group  the  widows 
greatly  outnumbered  the  widowers. 

The  relation  between  the  number  of  males  and 
females  in  the  ilill'erent  classes  is  brought  out  more 
clearly  m Table  20,  which  shows,  by  age  groups,  the 
number  of  males  to  100  females  in  the  total  popula- 
tion and  among  suigle  and  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced  persons,  respectively.

Color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage. — Table  23 
shows  for  1910  statistics  of  marital  condition  for  each 
color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  group,  giving  a 
further  tdassificatioii  according  to  age  groujis  in  the  case 
of  the  more  irnjiortant  elements  in  the  pojndation;  it 
shows  also  the  priiicijial  comparative  figures  for  1900. 


' Includes  persons  whose  marital  condition  was  not  reported. 

This  table  shows  that  the  excess  of  males  in  the 
total  population  15  years  of  age  and  over  is  chiefly  due 
to  the  marked  excess  of  males  among  the  foreign-born 
whites,  although  there  is  an  appreciable  excess  of 
males  also  among  the  native  whites  of  native  parent- 
age. For  this  and  other  reasons  the  distribution  of 
the  foreign-born  whites  with  resjiect  to  marital  con- 
dition differs  materially  from  that  of  the  other  classes. 

This  table  of  course  gives  no  direct  information  with 
regard  to  intermarriage  among  the  three  groups  of 
white  jiereons,  but,  beyond  question,  the  three  classes, 
native  whites  of  native  parentage,  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  and  foreign-born  whites, 
intermarry  more  or  less;  conseipiently  there  is  not 
necessarily  an  equality  between  the  number  of  married 
males  and  the  number  of  married  females  within  any 
one  group. 

* The  limited  number  of  Indians,  Chinese,  and  Japanese,  and 
“other”  per.sons  may  be  jias.sed  over  without  discussion  lurther  than 
to  point  out  that  the  marital  condition  among  the  Indiana  corre- 
spoyds  approximately  to  that  among  the  negroes,  while  that  among 
the  Chinese  and  Jajianose  in  this  country  is  (luite  exceptional,  the 
combined  jiroportion  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  among  these 
races  being  very  low  in  the  case  of  males  and  very  high  in  the  case 
of  females.  Most  of  the  married  Chinese  and  Japanese  men,  how- 
ever, have  left  their  wives  in  their  homo  countries,  and  the  total 
number  of  women  of  these  races  in  the  United  States  is  exceed- 
iugly  small.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Anion<f  tlio  nativo  wliitos  of  native  j)arontage  the 
number  of  married  males  in  1910  diffen'd  but  little 
from  the  nuniE'r  of  married  females,  and  this  was  also 
true  of  the  negroes;  but  in  the  case  of  the  native  whites 
of  foreign  or  mixed  paretitage  the  married  women 
considerably  outnumbered  the  married  men,  j)robably 
because  many  women  of  this  class  have  married  foreign- 
born  men,  the  number  of  the  latter  reported  as  married 
being  much  larger  than  the  number  of  married  foreign- 
born  women.  The  larger  number  of  man-ied  men  than 
of  married  women  in  the  foreign-born  class  is  partly 
due,  however,  to  the  presence  of  men  who  have  left 
their  wives  Oibroad. 

The  number  of  single  men  materially  exceeded  the 
number  of  single  women  in  each  of  the  four  classes 
shown  in  the  table,  the  excess  being  ])articularly 
marked  among  the  foreign-born  whites,  in  which  group 
single  men  outnumbered  single  women  more  than  two 
to  one.  In  each  class,  on  the  other  hand,  there  were 
more  than  twice  as  many  widows  as  w'dowers. 

Of  the  total  number  of  native  white  males  of  native 
parentage  15  years  of  age  and  over  in  1910,  38.1  per 
cent  were  single  and  61.4  per  cent  manned,  widowed, 
or  divorced,  the  corresponding  percentages  for  females 
being  29.9  and  69.8. 

Among  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage 
the  proportion  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  was 
much  lower  for  both  sexes  (49.5  and  58.1  per  cent, 
respectively),  than  among  native  whites  of  native 
parentage.  As  showni  later,  this  difference  is  not  due 
to  differences  between  the  two  parentage  groups  with 
regard  to  age  distribution.  Among  the  foreign-born 
whites,  on  the  other  hand,  the  j)roportion  married,  wid- 
owed, or  divorced  both  for  males  and  for  females 
(67.8  and  81 .6  per  cent,  respectively),  was  much  higher 
than  among  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  but 
in  the  case  of  males  this  difference,  as  indicated  b}'- 
Table  24,  is  wholly  due  to  the  fact  that  the  foreign- 
born  whites  are  much  older  on  the  average  than  the 
native  whites  and  among  females  also  it  is  largely 
due  to  this  cause.  The  pro])ortions  married,  widowed, 
or  divorced  for  negro  men  and  for  negro  women  (64 
and  73.1  per  cent,  respectively),  were  somewhat  higher 
than  for  native  whites  of  native  })arentage. 

The  difference  between  the  sexes  with  res])ect  to  the 
])roportion  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  is,  as  shown 
by  the  j)ercentages  quoted  above,  more  conspicuous 
in  the  case  of  the  foreign-born  whites  than  ir  the  case 
of  any  other  grou]).  One  cause  of  this  marked  dis- 
parity is  the  fact  that  single  women  are  much  less  apt 
to  leave  their  native  country  for  a new  home  than 
single  men.  Considering  only  ])ersons  who  were  in  the 
married  state  at  the  time  of  the  census,  the  negroes 
are  the  only  group  shown  in  the  table  in  which  the 
pro'|)ortion  married  is  as  high  among  males  as  it  is 
among  females,  the  percentages  in  the  case  of  this 
race  being  the  same  for  the  two  sexes. 


The  ])roportion  of  divorced  ])ersons,  as  shown  by 
Table  22,  is  slightly  higher  for  females  than  for  males 
in  each  of  the  four  classes  of  population  specified.  As 
already  stated,  all  the  percentages  relatmg  to  divorced 
persons  may  be  assumed  to  be  somewhat  too  low.  The 
proportion  of  divorced  persons  rejiorted  is  higher 
among  negroes  than  in  aii}^  other  class,  that  for  negro 
women,  which  is  the  highest  of  all,  being  1.1  per  cent. 

Table  24,  which  is  also  based  upon  Table  23,  shows 
by  percentages  for  1910  the  marital  condition  of  the 
jirincipal  classes  of  the  jiopulation  according  to  age 
groujis.  For  convenience,  the  small  percentages  of 
divorced  persons  have  been  combined  with  those  for 
the  widowed.  The  diagram  on  the  next  page  shows 
graphically  the  percentage  single,  married,  widowed, 
or  divorced  in  each  class,  by  broad  age  groups.

in  the  case  of  the  native  whites  of  native  i)arentage

])arentage  are  in  urban  communities,  and  much  larger

marry,  or  tend  to  marry  later,  than  })ersons  living  in

Table  24  shows,  also,  that  in  each  of  the  individual 
age  groui)s  the  percentage  married,  widowed,  or  di- 
vorced was  higher  for  native  white  males  of  native 
parentage  than  for  foreign-born  white  males.  On  the 
other  hand,  among  females  the  percentages  were 
somewhat  lower  for  the  native  whites  of  native  i)arent- 
age  than  for  the  foreign-born  whites.  The  negroes  of 
both  sexes  marry  at  a somewhat  earlier  age  than  the 
native  whites  of  native  parentage,  but  in  the  older  age 
groups  the  percentage  married  among  negroes  was 
lower  and  the  percentage  widowed  or  divorced  higher 
than  among  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  except 
that  in  the  case  of  males  65  years  and  over  the  percent- 
age married  was  the  same  in  the  two  })opulation  classes.

There  has  been  for  both  sexes  a gradual  advance  since 
1890  in  the  percentage  of  married  persons  and  in  the 
percentage  of  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  persons 
combined.  The  latter  percentage  rose,  in  the  case  of 
males,  from  58.1  in  1890  to  59.4  in  1900  and  60.8  in 
1910,  while  the  corresponding  percentages  for  females 
were  68.1 , 68.6;  and  70,  respectively.  These  increasing 
percentages  are  only  in  part,  if  at  all,  attributable  to 
changes  in  the  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  composition 
of  the  population,  or  to  changes  m age  distribution. 

Table  26  shows  for  the  males  and  females  in  each  of 
the  principal  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  groups  the 
percentage  reported  as  single,  as  married,  widowed,  or

The  combined  percentage  of  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced  persons  was  higher  in  1910  than  in  1900  or  in 
1890  for  each  sex  in  each  of  the  four  principal  race,  na- 
tivity, and  parentage  groups,  except  that  in  the  case  of 
the  foreign-born  white  m.ales  the  percentage  was  lower 
in  1910  than  in  1900.  In  the  case  of  native  white 
females  of  native  parentage,  however,  the  percentage 
married,  widowed,  or  divorced  was  shghtly  lower  in 
1900  than  in  1890.  These  higher  pei’centages  of  mar- 
ried, widowed,  or  divorced  persons  combined  were 
cliiefly  due  to  a higher  proportion  of  married  persons, 
although  the  proportion  of  widowed  or  divorced  per- 
sons has  also  generally  increased.

In  the  age  groups  15  to  19  years,  20  to  24  years,  and 
25  to  34  years,  the  percentage  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced  was  greater  in  1910  than  in  1900,  and  in 
the  case  of  the  first  two  groups  it  was  also  greater 
in  1900  than  in  1890.  In  the  age  group  25  to  34 
years  the  percentage  for  males  was  greater  in  1910 
than  at  either  of  the  two  preceding  censuses,  but  was 
less  in  1900  than  in  1890,  wlfile  for  females  the  per- 
centage was  greater  in  1910  than  in  1900,  although  in 
both  years  it  was  lower  than  in  1890.  In  each  of  the 
three  age  groups  comprising  persons  35  years  of  age  or 
over,  a decrease  occurred  during  both  of  the  decades 
covered  by  the  table  in  the  percentage  married,  wid- 
owed, or  divorced  both  for  males  and  for  females,  with 
the  single  exception  that  the  percentage  for  males  from 
35  to  44  years  of  age  increased  slightly  between  1900 
and  1910. 

Table  28  shows,  for  1910,  1900,  and  1890,  the  per- 
centage of  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  persons 
among  males  and  females,  respectively,  for  the  prin- 
cipal color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  groups, 
classified  by  age. 

For  each  class  shown  in  the  table  the  percentage  of 
married,  widowed,  or  divorced  pemons  in  the  age  groups 
15  to  19  years  and  20  to  24  years  was  higher,  both  for 
males  and  for  females,  in  1910  than  in  1900  or  1890, 
except  that  tlie  percentage  for  native  wliite  males  of 
foreign  or  nuxed  parentage  15  to  19  years  of  age 
was  the  same  in  1910  as  in  1900.  Tlfis  would  in- 


dicate that  in  all  classes  of  the  population  a larger 
pro])ortion  are  marrying  in  the  earlier  ages  than  was 
the  case  10  or  20  years  ago.  The  falling  off  m the 
natural  rate  of  increase  of  population  in  tins  country 
would  therefore  seem  not  in  any  way  due  to  the  post- 
ponement of  marriage.  In  the  age  group  25  to  34 
years  the  pro})ortion  married,  widowed,  or  divorced 
in  1910  was  greater  than  in  1900  for  both  males  and 
females  in  all  classes  of  the  population,  with  the  single 
exception  of  the  foreign-born  wliite  males.  For  the 
two  groups  comprising  persons  45  years  of  age  and 
over,  the  proportion  of  persons  in  the  three  classes  of 
the  wlfite  population  who  were  or  had  been  married 
has  shown  a decrease  at  each  census  since  1890,  with 
the  single  exception  of  the  native  wliite  females  of 
native  parentage  from  45  to  64  years  of  age,  for  whom 
the  percentage  was  the  same  in  1910  as  in  1900.  For 
the  white  population  it  thus  appears  that  although  the 
proportion  marrying  at  early  ages  shows  an  increase, 
the  proportion  married,  widowed,  or  divorced  in  the 
higher  age  groups  was  not  so  great  in  1910  as  in  1900 
or  1890.  Among  the  negroes  the  proportion  married, 
widowed,  or  divorced  in  each  age  group  was  higher  in 
1910  than  in  1900.

The  percentage  of  females  who  were  or  had  been 
married  was  lower  in  New  England  than  in  other 
geographic  divisions,  while  the  proportion  of  males 
who  were  or  had  been  married  was  lower  in  the  Pacific 
and  Mountain  divisions  than  in  the  other  divisions. 
It  should  be  borne  in  mind  in  this  connection  that 
the  number  of  males  to  100  females  is  much  higher 
in  the  Pacific  and  Mountain  divisions  than  in  any 
other,  whereas  New  England  is  the  only  division  in 
wliich  the  females  outnumber  the  males.  The  factors 
of  race  and  age  doubtless  exercise  an  appreciable  in- 
fluence upon  the  marital  condition  of  the  total  popu- 
lation, but,  independently  of  racial  or  age  composi- 
tion, it  is  almost  inevitable  that  the  proportion  mar- 
ried, widowed,  or  divorced  among  males  should  be 
smallest  in  those  geographic  divisions  in  which  the 
excess  of  males  over  females  is  greatest.  Conversely 
it  is  natural  that  the  proportion  married  among 
women  should  be  relatively  low  in  that  section  of  the 
country  where  the  females  outnumber  the  males. 

The  proportion  widowed  is  highest  for  both  sexes 
in  the  East  South  Central  and  New  England  divi- 
sions and  lowest  for  males  in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific 
divisions  and  for  females  in  the  West  North  Central 
and  Mountain  divisions. 

The  proportion  divorced  is  highest  for  both  sexes 
in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions  and  lowest  for 
both  sexes  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  and  South  Atlantic 
divisions.

For  each  class  of  the  population  except  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  the  percentage  married, 
widowed,  or  divorced  among  the  males  was  higher 
in  the  East  South  Central  division  than  in  any  other. 
For  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  the  New 
England  division  ranked  first  in  this  respect,  with  the 
East  South  Central  second.  For  each  class  of  popu- 
lation except  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage  the  percentage  was  lowest  in  the  Pacific 
division.  For  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage  the  lowest  percentage  was  found  in  New 
England,  with  the  Pacific  division  ranking  next. 

Among  females  the  percentage  married,  widowed, 
or  divorced  was  highest  in  the  divisions  west  of  the 
Mississippi  River,  for  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage,  in  the  West  South  Central  division;  for 
the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage, 
in  the  Mountain  division;  for  the  foreign-born  whites, 
in  the  West  North  Central  division;  and  for  the 
negroes,  in  the  Mountain  division.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  proportion  of  females  married,  widowed, 
or  divorced  was  lowest  in  New  England  for  every 
class  except  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage, 
for  whom  the  proportion  was  lowest  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division.  New  England  ranking  next  in  this 
respect.

Comparing  the  different  color  or  race,  nativity,  and 
parentage  groups  within  the  same  division,  it  appears 
that  for  males  the  percentage  married,  widowed,  or  di- 
vorced was  highest  among  the  foi-eign-born  whites  in 
every  division  excepting  the  Pacific,  where  the  highest 
proportion  was  among  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage.  For  females  the  Idghest  percentage  mar- 
ried, widowed,  or  divorced  was,  in  all  geographic 
divisions,  among  the  foreign-born  whites.  This  uni- 
formity results  from  the  fact  that  the  proportion  of 
the  foreign-born  wliites  in  the  eaidy  age  groups  is  com- 
paratively low.  The  percentage  of  persons  married, 
widowed,  or  divorced  was  lowest  in  every  division 
and  for  both  sexes  among  the  native  whites  of  foreign 
or  mixed  parentage,  a fact  in  part  attributable  to  the 
relatively  large  number  of  young  pemons  in  this  class 
of  population. 

In  all  divisions,  and  for  each  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  group,  the  proportion  of  persons  mar- 
ried, widowed,  or  divorced  was  higher  for  females  than 
for  males.  In  a majority  of  cases  the  proportion  of 
married  persons  alone  was  also  higher  among  females 
than  among  males. 

Generally  speaking,  the  differences  between  the 
geogra])hic  divisions  as  respects  marital  condition  are 
largely  explained  by  differences  in  the  composition  of 
the  population  in  regard  to  sex,  age,  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage.  The  foregoing  table  shows,  however, 
for  each  race,  nativity,  and  ])arentage  class  a{)'[)re- 
ciable  differences  among  the  divisions.  These  in  turn 


are  largely  explained  either  by  variations  m the  age 
and  sex  distribution  of  the  population  or  by  varying 
habits  with  respect  to  the  age  of  marriage.  These 
factors  are  in  part  exhibited  in  Table  31,  page  156, 
which  shows  for  each  division  the  percentage  of  mar- 
ried , widowed,  or  divorced  persons  combined  in  the  prin- 
cipal classes  of  the  population,  by  sex  and  age  groups. 

The  absolute  numbers  on  which  the  percentages  in 
Table  31  are  based  appear  in  Table  32,  which  also 
gives  further  details. 

The  degree  of  prevalence  of  early  marriages  in  the 
case  of  males  is  fairly  well  indicated  by  the  percent- 
age married,  widowed,  or  divorced  in  the  age  group 
20  to  24  years.  For  native  white  males  of  native 
parentage  the  percentage  in  1910  was,  conspicuously 
high  in  the  tlu'oe  southern  divisions,  and  lowest  in 
the  Pacific,  New  England,  and  Mountain  divisions,  in 
the  order  named.  In  the  South  the  percentage  of 
negro  males  in  the  same  age  group  who  were  mar- 
ried, widowed,  or  divorced  was  much  higher  than  the 
percentage  of  native  whites  of  native  pareiitage.  In 
other  sections  of  the  country,  where  the  negroes 
are  less  numerous,  there  was  no  such  marked  dif- 
ference. The  proportions  for  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage  and  for  foreign-born 
whites  were  fairly  uniform  throughout  the  country, 
except  that  in  the  West  Soidh  Gcntral  division,  where 
much  of  the  foreign  stock  is  of  Mexican  rather  than 
Euro])ean  origin,  they  were  considerably  higher  than 
elsewhere. 


MARITAL  CONDITION. 


155 


For  fomalos  the  proportion  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced  in  the  a"e  group  15  to  19  is  more  signifi- 
cant as  to  ])revalence  of  early  n\arriago.  Among  the 
native  whites  of  native  ])arentage  this  proportion 
was  greater  in  the  three  southern  divisions  than  else- 
where. In  two  of  these  divisions,  the  East  South 
Central  and  the  West  South  Central,  the  proportion 
was  also  higher  in  the  age  grou])  20  to  24  years,  but 
the  proportion  for  this  group  in  the  South  Atlantic 
division  was  e>cceeded  by'  that  in  the  Mountain  divi- 
sion. Among  the  negro  women  early'  marriages  ai’e 
more  frequent  in  the  South  than  in  the  remainder 
of  the  country.  For  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage  there  were  high  ])ercentages  of  mar- 
ried persons  among  females  from  15  to  24  y'eai's  of 
age  in  the  West  South  Central,  Mountain,  and  Pacific 
divisions.  Among  the  foreign-born  whites  the  percent- 
ages were  high  in  the  South,  where,  however,  this 
class  forms  an  inconsiderable  element  in  the  aggregate 
population. 

Table  32,  pages  156  to  159,  presents  detailed  statis- 
tics of  marital  condition  by  geographic  divisions. 

States. — Table  33,  pages  160  to  162,  shows  the  dis- 
tribution, according  to  marital  condition,  of  the  males 
and  females  15  years  of  age  and  over  in  each  of  the 
principal  classes  of  population,  by  states. 

URBAN  AND  RURAL  COMMUNITIES. 

Table  34,  page  163,  shows  the  marital  condition  of 
males  and  females  by  age  groups  for  the  principal  race, 
nativity,  and  parentage  classes,  distinguishing  be- 
tween urban  and  rural  communities. 

For  the  population  15y'ears  of  age  and  over,  both  for 
males  and  females,  the  proportion  of  single  persons  is 
greater,  and,  conversely,  the  proportion  of  those  who 
are  or  have  been  married  is  less,  in  the  urban  than  in 
the  rural  population.  For  both  males  and  females,  a 
smaller  percentage  of  persons  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced,  is  found  in  urban  communities  in  each  of  the 


age  periods  s[)Oci(icd  in  the  table,  the  difference  being 
])articularly  great  in  the  younger  age  periods. 

The  native  classes  of  the  p()[)ulati()n,  the.  wliites 
both  of  native  and  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  and 
the  negroes,  show,  like  the  population  at  large,  a 
smaller  percentage  of  persons  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced  in  urban  than  in  rural  communities,  not  only 
for  the  entire  population  15  years  of  age  and  over, 
but  also  for  each  of  the  age  groups  given  in  the  table. 

For  tlie  foreign-born  white  females  also,  the  propor- 
tion married,  widowed,  or  divorced  is  smaller  in  towns 
and  cities  than  in  the  rural  districts.  The  foreign-born 
white  males  15  years  and  over  form  an  exception  to 
all  other  classes  in  having  among  those  who  live  in 
cities  a smaller  percentage  of  single  persons,  and,  con- 
versely, a larger  percentage  of  married,  widowed,  or 
divorced,  than  among  those  living  in  rural  districts. 
With  the  exception  of  the  age  grouj)  15  to  19  years, 
which,  of  course,  comprises  comparatively  few  married 
persons,  the  percentage  of  foreign-born  males  married, 
widowed,  or  divorced  was  larger  in  each  age  group  of 
the  urban  population  than  in  the  corresponding  group 
of  the  rural  population. 

These  differences  with  reference  to  the  urban  and 
the  rural  population  constitute  one  of  the  important 
factors  in  determining  the  differences  already  noted 
with  respect  to  marital  condition  among  the  different 
geographic  divisions  and  states. 

PRINCIPAL  CITIES. 

The  concluding  tables  on  marital  condition  relate 
to  the  cities  of  the  United  States.  In  Table  35,  page 
164,  information  is  given  concerning  the  marital  con- 
dition of  both  males  and  females,  classified  by  color 
or  race,  nativity',  and  parentage,  in  cities  ha\'ing 
250,000  inhabitants  or  more.  Table  36,  pages  165 
to  167,  gives  similar  information,  without  distinction 
of  color  or  race,  nativity',  and  parentage,  for  cities 
having  from  25,000  to  2.50,000  inhabitants.

STATE  OF  BIRTH  OF  NATIVE  POPULATION. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  summarizes  the  data 
obtained  in  answer  to  the  inquiry  on  the  population 
schedule  as  to  the  state  or  territory  of  birth  of  per- 
sons born  in  the  United  States.  This  inquiry  has  been 
included  at  each  census  beginning  with  that  of  1850. 
The  returns  are  valuable  mainly  for  the  light  they 
throw  upon  the  migration  of  population  witliin  the 
United  States. 

The  term  “native  population”  as  ordinarily  used  by 
the  Bureau  of  the  Census  comprises  all  persons  born  in 
the  United  States,  including  those  born  in  Alaska, 
Hawaii,  Porto  Rico,  and  other  outlying  possessions 
of  the  United  States,  persons  born  at  sea  under  the 
United  States  flag,  and  persons  of  native  parentage 
born  abroad  and  designated  as  “Amierican  citizens 
born  abroad.”  The  native  population  living  in  the  j 
United  States  (excluding  persons  living  in  outlying 
possessions)  as  above  defined,  numbered,  in  1910, 
78,456,380  persons,  of  whom  78,095,419  were  reported  ^ 
as  born  in  some  specified  state  of  the  United  States  j 
proper  (that  is,  in  the  United  States  exclusive  of  out-  j 
lying  possessions),  7,365  as  born  in  Alaska,  Hawaii, 
Porto  Rico,  or  other  outlying  possessions,  1,560  as 
born  at  sea  under  the  United  States  flag,  and  66,351  as 
American  citizens  born. abroad.  There  remain  285,685 
persons  for  whom  the  place  of  birth  was  either  not 
reported  at  all  or  was  reported  as  the  United  States 
without  specifying  the  state  or  territory.  These  have 
been  classified  as  born  in  the  United  States,  state  of 
birth  not  reported. 

The  several  classes  of  native  population  above 
enumerated  are  shown  by  geographic  divisions  in 
Table  1.

Many  of  the  tables  in  this  chapter  are  confined  to  the 
native  population  reported  as  born  hi  some  one  of  the 
states;  and  when  it  is  believed  that  the  connection 


makes  the  meaning  clear,  the  terms  “native”  and 
“native  American”  are  frequently  used  in  the  text 
in  a restricted  sense  to  include  this  class  only.  The 
table  headings  are  more  precise. 

General  extent  of  migration  of  native  population  witliin 
the  United  States. — Of  the  78,095,419  persons  reported 
in  1910  as  born  in  some  specified  state,  61,185,305 
were  born  in  the  same  state  in  which  they  were  resid- 
ing at  the  time  the  census  was  taken,  as  shown  by 
Table  2.  The  remainder,  16,910,114,  had  migrated 
from  the  state  in  which  they  were,  born  and  were  living 
in  some  other  state.  The  persons  who  had  thus 
migrated  formed  21.7  per  cent  of  the  total.  This  per- 
centage differs  but  little  from  those  shown  by  the  four 
previous  censuses,  which  have  ranged  from  23.2  per 
cent  in  1870  to  20.6  per  cent  in  1900.

> Exclusive  of  outlying  possessions. 

• Exclusive  of  population  of  Indian*  Tenitory  and  Indian  reservations, 
specially  enumerated  in  1890,  with  a native  population  of  325,451,  which,  how- 
ever, was  not  distributed  by  state  of  birth.  These  areas  were  not  enumerated 
In  1880  or  1870. 

I The  fact  that  each  census  from  1870  to  1910  showed 
I that  about  one-fifth  of  the  native  Americans  had 
migrated  from  the  state  in  which  born  to  other  states 
, indicates  a rather  high  degree  of  mobility  on  the 
part  of  the  population,  especially  when  it  is  remeni- 
I bered  that  the  census  distmguishes  only  those  persons 
who  have  migrated  across  state  lines  and  not  those 
who  have  moved  from  one  locality  to  another  within 
the  same  state.  There  is  no  doubt  that  some  migra- 
tion within  the  same  state  involves  a greater  change  of 
environment,  and  even  a longer  journey,  than  some 
of  the  migration  across  state  lines.  Much  of  the  move- 
ment from  country  to  city  takes  place  within  the  con- 
fines of  the  same  state;  on  the  other  hand,  some  of 
the  interstate  migration  is  merely  from  one  border 
county  or  city  to  another  just  across  the  state  line. 
Computations  made  in  connection  with  the  census  of 
1900  indicated  that  almost  one-half  of  the  persons 
living  outside  of  the  state  of  birth  lived  in  states 
adjoining  the  state  of  birth.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


It  is  obvious  that  the  statistics  in  Table  2 showing 
the  number  of  persons  living  outside  of  the  state  of 
birth  at  a given  census  do  not  represent  the  total 
nund)er  of  ])orsons  who  have  migrated  from  the  state 
of  birth  during  any  given  period  of  time.  Some  of 
those  who  have  migrated  have  died,  and  the  statis- 
tics show  only  those  living  at  the  time  of  enumeration, 
who  maybe  briefly  described  as  surviving  migrants. 

Interdivisional  migration. — Table  3 shows  the  differ- 
ence between  the  total  number  of  native  Americans 
living  in  each  of  the  nine  geographic  divisions  and 
the  total  number  born  in  each  division  as  reported  at 
the  census  of  1910.

1 Exclusive  of  outlying  possessions. 


The  table  shows  that  there  were,  m 1910,  4,907,215 
persons  living  m the  United  States  (exclusive  of 
outlying  possessions)  who  were  reported  as  born  in 
New  England,  while  the  number  of  native  Americans 
residmg  in  New  England  was  4,702,088,  or  205,127 
less.  This  difference  represents  the  net  loss  to  New 
England  in  the  balancing  of  surviving  emigrants.  To 
put  the  matter  in  another  way,  if  all  persons  should 


return  to  the  division  in  which  they  were  born,  the 
number  of  persons  coming  back  to  New  England 
would  exceed  by  205,127  the  number  of  persons  leav- 
mg  New  England  for  other  parts  of  the  United  States. 
It  is  evident  that  the  number  of  persons  reported  as 
born  in  any  division  by  no  means  indicates  what  the 
native  American  population  of  that  division  would 
have  been  had  there  been  no  mterstate  migration  on 
the  part  of  the  present  generation.  If  every  person 
now  living  who  was  born  in  New  England  had  re- 
mained there,  the  living  children  and  grandchildren 
of  such  persons  would  have  been  added  to  the  popu- 
lation of  that  division;  as  it  is,  the  children  and 
grandchildren  of  those  who  migrated  elsewhere  appear 
as  natives  of  other  divisions.  The  converse  is  true 
regardmg  the  descendants  of  persons  born  m other 
divisions  and  now  hving  in  New  England.  Thus 
while  the  census  makes  it  possible  to  measure  what 
may  be  termed  the  chrect  effects  of  the  migration  of 
persons  stiff  living,  it  affords  no  means  of  measuring 
the  mdirect  effects. 

All  divisions  east  of  the  Mississippi  have  lost  more 
than  they  have  gained  as  the  direct  result  of  the  mi- 
gration of  persons  stiff  livmg.  The  more  westerly 
divisions — the  West  North  Central,  West  South  Cen- 
tral, Mountain,  and  Pacific — have  gained  largely  by 
such  migration.  If  all  the  native  Americans  in  the 
country  should  return  to  the  states  where  they  were 
born,  the  Pacific  division  would  lose  nearly  one-half  of 
its  native  American  population. 

The  precedmg  table  shows  only  the  net  effects  of 
migration,  the  last  column  representing  the  difference 
between  the  number  of  persons  born  in  a given  divi- 
sion who  were  living  outside  of  it  and  the  number  liv- 
mg in  the  division  who  were  born  outside.  These 
numbers  are  shown  in  Table  4.

• E.xclasivo  of  outlying  possos-sions. 


Of  the  78,095,419  native  Americans  enumerated  in 
1910  with  state  of  birth  reported,  11,349,040,  or  14.5 
per  cent,  were  living  outside  the  division  in  which  born. 
This  percentage  is  lower  than  the  percentage  living  out-

while  568,763  wore  living  in  other  divisions;  on  the 
other  hand,  there  were  363,636  j)ersons  living  in  New 
England  who  had  been  born  in  other  divisions.  The 
dill’erence  between  the  two  ligures  last  named,  205,127, 
is  the  direct  loss  to  New  England  by  interstate 
migration,  as  already  shown  in  Table  3.  Of  the 
population  born  in  New  England,  11.6  per  cent  had 
emigrated  to  other  divisions,  and  of  the  native  Ameri- 
can population  living  in  New  England  7.7  per  cent 
had  immigrated  from  other  divisions.  These  state- 
ments indicate  how  the  table  is  to  be  read. 

This  table  also  shows  that  in  1910  a much  larger  per- 
centage of  the  native  American  population  of  the 
West  North  Central,  West  South  Central,  Mountain, 
and  Pacific  divisions  consisted  of  persons  born  outside 
those  divisions  than  in  the  case  of  the  five  more 
easterly  geographic  divisions.  In  the  Mountain  and 
Pacific  divisions  about  one-half  of  the  native  Ameri- 
can population  consisted  of  those  born  outside;  in  the 
South  Atlantic  division  the  proportion  was  only  4.9 
per  cent. 


It  is  notewortliy  that,  notwithstanding  the  large 
number  of  ])crsous  living  in  the  West  Nortli  Central 
division  who  were  born  outside  it,  the  ])ercentage  of  its 
own  natives  living  outside  its  borders  (19.5  per  cent) 
was  larger  than  the  corx'esponding  percentage  for  any 
other  geographic  division.  The  statistics  indicate 
that  the  earlier  extensive  migration  into  this  division 
has  been  followed  by  a very  • considerable  migration 
out  of  it  toward  the  West  and  South.  The  lowest 
proportion  living  outside  the  division  of  birth  in  1910 
was  that  for  persons  born  in  the  West  South  Central 
division,  6.1  per  cent. 

Table  5 is  in  effect  a continuation  in  condensed  form 
of  Table  4.  It  shows  the  migration  to  and  from 
each  geographic  division  as  reported  at  each  census 
from  1870  to  1910;  that  is,  it  shows  what  proportion 
of  the  total  population  reported  at  each  census  as 
born  in  the  division  was  living  in  other  divisions,  and, 
conversely,  what  proportion  of  the  native  American 
population  living  in  each  geographic  division  was 
born  in  other  divisions.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POJHJLATION. 


Ill  1870,  17.3  jier  (‘ont  of  tho  persons  horn  in  New 
Enf'laiul  were  living  in  other  divisions.  In  1910,  the 
jiercentage  had  declined  to  11.6.  There  was  a similar 
decline  in  the  percentage  for  the  Middle  Atlantic  and 
South  Atlantic  divisions.  The  two  North  Central 
divi.siousshow  an  increase  in  tliis  percentage.  The  two 
South  Central  divisions  show,  on  tho  whole,  no  marked 
change  in  this  respect,  but  the  percentage  of  emigrants 
from  the  Mountain  division  has  greatly  increased, 
while  that  of  emigrants  from  the  Pacific  division  has 
increased  in  some  degree. 

In  the  case  of  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic 
divisions  there  has  been  some  increase  in  the  relative 
importanee  of  domestic  immigration,  as  indicated  by 
the  percentage  of  the  native  Axnerican  population 
born  outside  of  the  division.  Thus,  in  1870,  4 per 
cent  of  the  total  population  born  m the  United  States 
and  living  in  New  England  were  born  outside  New 
England.  By  1910  the  proportion  had  increased  to 
7.7  per  cent.  The  South  Atlantic  division  also  shows 
some  mcrease  in  tins  percentage,  but  the  four  central 
divisions  show  a rather  marked  decline.  Thus,  m 
1870,  almost  one-half  (48.9  per  cent)  of  the  total  native 
population  inhabiting  the  West  North  Central  division 
were  born  in  other  parts  of  the  United  States,  as 
against  less  than  one-fourth  (23.6  per  cent)  in  1910. 
In  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions  the  percentage 
has  fluctuated  without  any  continuous  movement 
toward  either  a higher  or  a lower  percentage.  It  is 
noteworthy,  however,  that,  notwithstanding  the  large 
migi-ation  to  the  Pacific  coast  in  the  years  folloiving 
the  discovery  of  gold  in  California,  the  proportion  of 
the  native  population  of  the  Pacific  division  reported 
as  born  outside  that  division  was  larger  in  1910  than 
at  any  jireceding  census  back  to  and  including  1870. 

Comparing  the  returns  for  1910  with  those  for  1900, 
as  shown  in  Table  5,  the  divisions  may  be  placed  in 
two  groups — ^fii’st,  those  in  which  the  direct  loss  through 
mterdivisional  migration  of  persons  now  living  was 
reduced  or  the  gain  increased  during  the  decade,  and, 
second,  those  of  which  the  converse  is  true,  the  loss 
being  increased  or  the  gain  reduced.  The  two  groups 
are  distinguished  by  the  last  two  columns  of  Table  6. 

The  first  group  includes  the  New  England,  Middle 
Atlantic,  and  South  Atlantic  divisions,  in  which  the 
loss  through  interstate  migration  has  been  reduced,  and 
also  the  West  South  Central,  Mountain,  and  Pacific 
divisions,  in  which  the  gain  has  been  increased.  The 
second  gi’oup  includes  the  East  North  Central  and 
East  South  Central  divisions,  in  which  the  loss  has 
been  increased,  and  also  the  West  North  Central,  in  i 
wliicli  tlie  gain  has  been  reduced.  In  1900  the  West 
North  Central  division  had  gained  1,328,616  jiersons,  i 
but  in  1910  the  gain  was  only  .■)12,287,  a reduction  of 
816,329.  ' 1 

Tlu'  figures  presented  in  the  last  two  columns  of 
Table'  6,  however,  by  no  means  represent  the  diU’erence 
betwi'cn  migration  into  and  migration  out  of  the  re- 
re.sj)ective  divisions  during  the  past  1 0 years,  (’hanges  ; 


in  the  gains  or  losses  arc  also  affected  by  deatlxs 
among  those  who  had  previously  migrated.  Undoubt- 
edly, however,  in  the  case  of  marked  changes  in  gain 
or  loss  between  1900  and  1910,  migration  during  the 
decade  has  been  the  principal  factor.

Table  5 shows  that  in  the  New  England  and  South 
Atlantic  divisions  the  net  loss  through  interstate  mi- 
gration has  steadily  declined.  In  the  case  of  the  East 
North  Central  division  the  gain  shown  at  the  censuses 
of  1870  and  1880  has  given  place  to  a loss  which  was 
much  greater  in  1910  than  in  1900  or  1890.  In  the 
case  of  the  West  North  Central  dmsion  the  gain  through 
interstate  migration  reached  its  maximum  in  1890  and 
has  declined  very  greatly  since  then.  In  the  West  South 
Central,  Mountain,  and  Pacific  divisions,  on  the  other 
hand,  the  gain  has  steadily  increased,  being  greater  in 
1910  than  at  any  preceding  census. 

Certain  broad  generalizations  of  considerable  interest 
may  be  drawn  by  comparing  the  population  living  in 
the  tliree  geographic  sections,  the  North,  the  South, 
and  the  West,  with  the  population  reported  as  born  in 
those  sections,  as  shown  by  Table  7.

Table  7 brings  out  the  fact  that  there  lias  been  cou- 
siilerable  migration  from  north  to  south  and  from 
south  to  north,  as  well  as  from  oast  to  west.  The 
absolute  number  of  persons  born  in  the  North  and 
living  in  the  South  (1 ,449,229)  was  not  very  dilfer- 
ent  from  the  number  born  in  the  South  and  living  in 
the  North  (1,527,107).  The  North,  however,  has 
contributed  more  than  five  times  as  many  to  the 
population  of  the  West  as  the  South  has. 

Division  of  birth  in  relation  to  division  of  residence. — 
More  specific  information  regarding  interdivisionai 
migration  may  be  obtained  from  Table  16,  page  181, 
the  first  part  of  which  shows,  when  read  from  left  to 
right,  the  number  of  native  American  persons  living  in 
each  geographic  division  who  were  born  in  each  divi- 
sion. If  read  downward,  the  table,  of  course,  shows  the 
number  born  in  each  division  who  were  living  in  each 
division.  In  Table  8 persons  born  in  each  geographic 
division  are  distributed  on  a percentage  basis  accord- 
ing to  the  division  in  which  they  were  resident  in  1910. 

Table  8 shows,  for  example,  that  in  1910,  of  the 
total  number  of  persons  born  in  New  England,  88.4 
per  cent  were  still  living  in  that  division,  while  4.5 


per  cent  were  living  in  the  adjacent  division  on  the 
west — the  Middle  Atlantic  division;  2 per  cent  in  the 
next  division  farther  west — the  East  North  Central; 
1.5  per  cent  in  the  West  North  Central;  and  2 per  cent 
in  the  Pacific.  The  percentage  living  in  the  division  in 
which  born  ranged  from  80.5  in  the  West  North 
Central  division  to  93.9  in  the  West  South  Central 
division. 

In  a majority  of  cases  the  largest  number  of  the  emi- 
grants from  any  division  are  resident  in  the  adjoining 
division  on  the  west.  This  is  true  of  the  emigrants  from 
the  New  England,  the  Middle  Atlantic,  the  East  North 
Central,  the  East  South  Central,  and  the  Mountain  di- 
visions; but  the  South  Atlantic  division  has  a larger 
number  of  its  emigrating  natives  in  the  division  imme- 
diately north  of  it  than  in  any  other  division,  and  this 
is  also  true  of  the  West  South  Central  division,  while 
of  the  emigrants  from  the  West  North  Central  a larger 
number  went  to  the  Pacific  division  and  also  to  the 
West  South  Central  than  to  the  adjacent  Mountain 
division  on  the  west.  While  the  main  current  of 
migration  is  westward,  there  has  been  some  eastward 
migration  and  considerable  migration  north  and  south.

Table  9 shows  what  percentage  of  the  native  popu- 
lation resident  in  each  division  were  born  in  that  divi- 
sion and  in  each  of  the  other  divisions.  The  per- 
centages are  based  on  the  total  native  population, 
including  persons  born  in  the  outlying  possessions 
of  the  United  States,  or  at  sea  under  the  United  States 
flag,  persons  bom  in  the  United  States  for  whom  the 
state  of  birth  was  not  reported,  and  American  citi- 
zens born  abroad.  The  table  is  substantially  the  con- 


verse of  Table  8 and  needs  little  comment.  It  brings 
out  the  fact  that  the  two  North  Central  divisions  have 
contributed  largely  to  the  population  of  the  Pacific 
and  Mountain  divisions.  Of  the  total  native  popula- 
tion of  the  Pacific  division,  31.7  per  cent  were  born  east 
of  the  Mississippi  (that  is,  in  the  New  England,  Mid- 
dle Atlantic,  East  North  Central,  South  Atlantic,  and 
East  South  Central  divisions),  and  of  the  total  native 
population  of  the  Mountain  division,  24.7  per  cent.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Migration  of  native  white  and  native  negro  popula- 
tion.— The  preceding  tables  (with  one  exception)  liave 
dealt  witli  the  total  native  popidation  without  distinc- 
tion of  race.  It  is  desirable,  however,  to  consider 
separately  the  division  of  birth  of  the  native  white  and 


the  native  negro  population,  which  together  constitute- 
nearly  the  entire  number  of  native  Americans.  Table 
10  therefore  presents  for  these  two  classes  statistics 
similar  to  those  presented  in  Table  4 for  the  total 
native  popvdation.

This  table  shows  a somewhat  greater  mobility  on 
the  part  of  the  white  population  than  on  the  part 
of  tlie  negro.  Of  the  68,070,294  native  whites 
enumerated  in  1910,  10,366,735,  or  15.2  per  cent, 
were  liUng  in  some  other  division  than  that  in  which 
born.  Of  the  9,746,043  native  negroes  963,153,  or 
9.9  per  cent,  were  living  outside  the  chvision  of  birth. 
In  the  case  of  the  whites  the  percentages  living  outside 
the  division  of  birth  ranged  from  6.9  for  whites 
born  in  the  Pacific  division  to  21.6  for  those  born  in 
the  East  South  Central.  In  the  case  of  the  negroes 
the  percentages  ranged  from  3.6  for  those  born  in  the 
West  South  Central  division  to  43.9  for  those  born  in 
the  Mountain  division.  Outside  the  South  a large  part 
of  the  negro  population  are  not  natives  of  the  division 
in  which  living,  but  have  immigrated  from  other  divi- 
sions, principally  from  the  South,  the  proportion  of 
immigrants  ranging  from  almost  one-third  in  the  West 
North  Central  division  to  about  four-fifths  in  the 
Pacific  and  Mountain  divisions.  The  South  Atlantic 
and  East  South  Central  divisions'’  are  the  only  ones 
which  have  suffered  a direct  loss  in  population  through 
the  migration  of  negroes  of  the  present  generation. 
The  absolute  gain  is  most  conspicuous  in  the  case  of 
the  Middle  Atlantic  and  West  South  Central  divisions. 

The  migration  of  native  whites  and  native  negroes 
to  and  from  the  several  states,  so  far  as  it  can  be  indi- 
cated by  statistics  of  state  of  birth,  is  shown  in  Table 
15,  which  corresponds  to  Table  10  above. 

Migration  to  the  several  divisions  from  other  divisions 
and  from  foreign  countries. — Table  1 1 shows  for  1910  and 
1900  tlie  sources  from  which  the  difl’erent  geograpliic 
divisions  had  drawn  their  })0])idation.  The  three 
classes  distinguished  are  (1)  natives  of  the  diUsion  of 
residence,  (2)  native  Americans  born  outside  the  di- 


vision of  residence,' and  (3)  the  foreign  born;  more 
briefly,  they  may  be  called  natives,  domestic  immi- 
grants, and  foreign  immigrants. .

In  most  of  the  divisions  the  natives  are  greatly  in 
the  majority,  outnumbering  both  classes  of  immigrants. 
Tlie  ])reponderance  is  greatest  in  the  South  Atlantic 
division,  where  92.6  per  cent  of  the  population  in  1910 
consisted  of  persons  born  in  the  division.  The  propor- 
tion was  nearly  as  groat  in  the  East  South  Central.  In 
the  Pacific  division,  however,  the  most  important  class 
numerically  was  that  of  the  domestic  immigrants,  who 
formed  40.3  per  cent  of  the  total  po]nilation  in  1910,  while 
the  natives  of  the  division  formed  but  35.8  jier  cent —

hardly  more  than  ouo-lhird  - and  the  foreign  immi- 
grants 22.8  per  cent.  In  the  Mountain  division  tlie 
natives  of  the  division  were  only  slightly  more  nu- 
merous than  the  domestic  immigrants,  and  constituted 
but  41.8  })er  cent  of  the  total  population.  Of  course, 
these  conditions  are  indicative  of  the  comparatively 
recent  settlement  and  rapid  develo])ment  of  the  far 
West,  and  of  the  great  immigration  thither  from  other 
parts  of  the  United  States.  In  New  England  and  in 
the  Middle  Atlantic  and  East  North  Central  divisions 
the  greater  part  of  the  immigration  is  from  foreign 
countries,  the  foreign  born  greatly  outnumbering  the 
domestic  immigrants,  but  in  all  the  other  divisions  the 
foreign  immigrants  are  the  least  numerous  of  the  three 
classes  here  compared. 

Comparison  between  the  figures  for  1910  and  1900, 
shown  in  Table  11,  reveals  the  relative  importance  of 
the  three  classes  as  factors  in  the  increase  in  the  popu- 
lation of  the  several  divisions  during  the  decade.  The 
comparison  is  facilitated  by  Table  12.  It  may  be  well 
to  point  out  that  tliis  table  throws  no  light  upon 
the  question  of  the  fecundity  or  natural  increase  of 
the  population.  The  persons  reported  in  1910  as  born 
in  a given  division  include,  of  course,  many  children  of 
persons  who  were  not  born  in  the  division  as  well  as 
the  children  of  persons  born  in  the  division.

This  table  shows  very  great  differences  among  the 
geographic  divisions  with  respect  to  the  relative  im- 
portance of  the  three  classes  as  factors  in  the  increase 
in  population.  In  the  New  England  and  liliddle 
Atlantic  divisions  the  increase  during  the  decade  was 
chiefly  in  persons  born  witliin  the  division  of  residence 
and  in  the  foreign  born,  the  increase  in  the  latter  being 
roughly  three-fourths  as  great  as  in  the  former.  In  the 
East  North  Central  division  conditions  were  somewhat 
similar,  except  that  the  increase  in  the  foreign  born 
was  relatively  less  important.  In  the  West  North 
Central,  South  Atlantic,  and  East  South  Central 
divisions,  on  the  other  hand,  nearly  the  entire 
increase  was  in  natives  of  the  division.  In  the 
West  South  Central  division  there  was  a marked 
increase  in  domestic  immigrants,  as  well  as  in  natives 
of  the  division,  but  comparatively  little  increase  in  the 
foreign  born.  Finally,  in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific 


divisions  the  increase  in  domestic  immigrants  was 
greater  than  that  in  natives,  and  there  was  also  a very 
considerable  increase  in  the  foreign  born. 

Migration  to  the  several  states  from  other  states  and 
from  foreign  countries. — Table  13  gives  a classification  of 
the  population  of  each  state  in  1910,  distinguishing  the 
natives  of  the  state,  the  domestic  immigrants  (born  in 
other  states),  and  the  foreign  immigrants  (foreign  born).

and  the  District  of  Columbia.  In  three  of  the  southern 
states  more  than  nine-tenths  of  the  population  were 
natives,  but  north  of  the  Ohio  there  were  only  two 
states,  Marne  and  Indiana,  in  which  the  proportion  of 
natives  exceeded  three-fourths.  The  foreign  immi-

cxcc})t  Vermont,  ()luo,aud  Jiidiaiia.  In  Vermont  and 
Ohio  domestie  immigi  ants  were  not  much  more  numer- 
ous than  the  foreign,  hut  in  Indiana  they  outnumbered 
the  foreign  immigrants  more  than  three  to  one. 

West  of  the  Mississi[)pi  tlrere  were  only  nine  states 
(Iowa,  Minnesota,  Missouri,  Nebraska,  Arkansas, 
Ijouisiaua,  Texas,  New  Mexico,  and  Utali)  in  which  a 
majority  of  the  |)0])ulation  were  natives  of  the  state. 
In  Wyoming  the  natives  of  the  state  in  1910  formed 
only  21. S per  cent  of  the  total  ])opulation  and  in  Wash- 
ington only  23  ]>er  cent.  In  the  latter  state  a majority 
(53.3  i)er  cent)  of  the  population  were  domestic  im- 
migrants. This  was  also  the  case  in  Idaho,  Wyoming, 
('olorado,  and  Oklahoma.  The  domestic  immigrants 
outnumbered  the  foreign  immigrants  in  every  state 
west  of  the  Mississippi  except  Minnesota  and  Utah. 

Interstate  migration. — Table  14  presents  for  the 
several  states  in  1910  and  1900  the  same  class  of  data 
that  is  shown  for  the  geographic  diUsions  in  Table  4, 
that  is,  it  shows  what  proportion  of  the  population 
born  in  each  state  was  living  in  other  states  and  what 
proportion  of  the  native  American  population  of  each 
state  was  born  in  other  states.  It  shows,  for  example, 
that  the  population  of  the  United  States  (not  including 
Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  Rico,  or  other  outlying  posses- 
sions) in  1910  included  791,827  persons  who  were  born 
in  the  state  of  Maine  and  that  of  this  number,  578,739 
were  living  in  Maine,  while  213,088,  or  26.9  per  cent 
of  the  total,  had  left  Maine  and  settled  in  other  states; 
and  it  sho'ws  also  that  the  population  of  Maine  in- 
cluded 628,748  native  Americans  with  state  of  birth 
reported,  of  whom  578,739  were  born  in  .Maine  and 
50,009,  or  8 per  cent,  were  born  in  other  states.  The 
numbers  of  native  Americans  who  have  thus  migrated 
to  and  from  the  several  states  are  shown  graphically 
in  the  diagram  on  page  186. 

The  proportion  of  the  natives  of  the  several  states 
residing  in  other  states  in  1910  varied  widely.  In  the 
case  of  the  following  states  it  exceeded  one-third: 
Nevada  (46.4  per  cent);  Vermont  (38.6);  Wyoming 

(37.8) ;  Iowa  (36.1);  Kansas  (34.2);  and  New  Hampshire 

(33.8) .  In  the  following  states  it  was  less  than  one- 
sixth:  Pennsylvania  (16.6  per  cent);  Georgia  (16.4); 
Massachusetts  (16.1);  New  Mexico  (15.5);  South  Caro- 
lina (15.5);  North  Carolina  (15.4);  Texas  (12.9); 
Louisiana  (12.1);  Florida  (10.2);  and  California  (10). 
'Fhese  percentages,  it  should  be  remembered,  do  not- 
include  persons  who  migi-ated  from  the  states  named 
to  outlying  possessions  of  the  United  States. 

Referrmg  to  cohimn  7 of  the  table  it  will  be  found 
that  there  are  only  seven  states  (Maine,  Pennsylvania, 
Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  and 
Kentucky)  in  which  the  domestic  immigrants — api)lying 
that  term  to  persoiis  born  outside  the  state  but  within 
the  United  States,  exclusive  of  outlying  territories 
and  ])ossessions — formed  less  than  one-tenth  of  the 
native  American  ])opulation  of  the  state  in  1910. 
Hast  of  the  Mississippi  there  are  oidy  four  states 


(Rhode  Island,  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  and  Florida) 
in  which  the  proportion  exceeded  one-fourth,  or  25 
per  cent.  In  the  District  of  Columbia,  however,  the 
})roportion  exceeded  one-half.  West  of  the  Mississippi 
there  are  10  states  (North  Dakota,  South  Dakota,  Okla- 
homa, Montana,  Idaho,  Wyoming,  Colorado,  Nevada, 
Washington,  and  Oregon)  in  which  more  than  half  the 
native  American  population  in  1910  were  domestic 
immigrants  and  only  two  (Louisiana  and  Utah)  in 
which  the  proportion  was  less  than  one-fourth. 

Table  14  also  shows  the  gam  or  loss  to  the  several 
states  by  interstate  migration ; or,  m other  words,  the 
difference  between  the  number  of  persons  living  m the 
state  and  born  hi  other  states  and  the  number  born  m 
the  state  and  livhig  m other  states.  For  example,  at 
the  census  of  1910,  213,088  persons  born  hi  the  state 
of  Maine  were  livhig  in  other  states  and  50,009  persons 
born  in  other  states  were  livhig  hi  Mahie.  The  differ- 
ence, 163,079,  appears  in  tliis  table  as  the  direct  net 
loss  to  the  state  of  Mahie  by  interstate  migration. 
Most  of  the  states  east  of  the  Mississijipi  have  lost 
more  than  they  have  gained  by  this  interchange  of 
population  wdth  other  states,  gams  being  shown  only 
for  Massachus  tts,  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut,  New 
Jersey,  Michig:ii,  West  Virginia,  Florida,  and  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia.  West  of  the  Mississippi,  on  the 
other  hand,  most  of  the  states  have  gained  more  than 
they  have  lost,  the  only  states  which  have  lost  being 
Iowa,  Missouri,  Louisiana,  and  Utah. 


STATES  GAINING  OR  LOSING  BY  INTERSTATE 
MIGRATION:  1910. 


Table  15  presents,  for  1910,  by  states  for  the  native 
white  and  native  negro  population  separately,  statis- 
tics similar  to  those  presented  for  the  total  native 
population  in  Table  14. 

Of  the  two  diagrams  on  the  next  page,  the  one  on 
the  left  shows  for  each  state  the  percentages  of  the 
total  population  born  in  the  state,  born  in  other  states, 
and  born  in  foreign  countries  (see  also  Table  13), 
while  the  diagram  on  t he  right  shows  what  percentage 
of  the  natives  of  each  state  were  still  living  in  that 
state  in  ItllO  and  what  percentage  had  emigrated  to 
other  states.  In  the  first  of  the  two  maj)S  presented 


8TATK  OF  BIRTH  OF  NATIVr:  POPUl.A'riON. 


on  page  178,  the  states  arc  classified  in  six  groups 
with  reference  to  the  jiercentagc  of  emigrants.  Tins 
niaj)  brings  out  the  fact  that  in  general  the  emigration 
from  states  located  on  the  boundary  of  the  United 
States  is  relatively  less  than  from  states  more  cen- 
trally located.  This  probably  is  in  part  a natural 
result  of  the  fact  that  the  ])ossibility  of  emigration 
from  a border  state  to  other  parts  of  the  United  States 
is  cut  off  in  one  or  more  directions.  From  some  of 
the  states  along  the  northern  border  there  has  been 
a very  considerable  emigration  to  Canada  in  recent 
years,  but  this  of  course  is  not  revealed  by  a ])opu- 
lation  census  of  the  United  States.  In  the  second 
map  on  page  178,  the  states  are  grouped  with  reference 
to  the  percentage  which  the  population  born  in  other 
states  forms  of  the  total  native  population  or  popu- 
lation born  in  the  United  States.  The  j)ercentages 
are  presented  in  Tables  13  and  14. 


nt 

State  of  birth  in  relation  to  state  of  residence. — In 
Table  IG  the  total  Jialivo  ]>opulation  of  each  slate 
and  geographic  division  is  distributed  according  to 
the  state  or  geographic  division  in  which  born.  As 
regards  any  given  state,  this  table  shows  how  many 
of  the  ])crson3  living  in  that  state  were  born  there 
and  how  many  were  born  in  each  of  the  other  states; 
it  gives  similar  information  for  the  several  geogra])hic 
divisions.  The  table  covers  the  total  native  i)opula- 
tion,  including  those  born  in  outlying  territoiies  or 
possessions  of  the  United  States,  or  at  sea  under  the 
United  States  flag,  those  boin  in  the  United  States 
for  whom  the  state  of  birth  was  not  reported,  and 
American  citizens  born  abroad.  At  the  same  time  the 
table  when  read  by  columns  gives  the  distribution  by 
residence  (state  or  geographic  division)  of  the  total 
population  reported  as  born  in  each  state  or  geo- 
graphic division.

POPULATION  OF  FOPEIGN  BIRTH  AND  FOREIGN  PARENTAGE,  BY  COUNTRY 

OF  ORIGIN. 


INTRODUCTION. 

This  chaptez’  presents  statistics  as  to  the  origin  of  the 
large  foreign  element  in  the  population  of  the  United 
States.  More  specifically,  it  distributes  the  foi*eign- 
born  whites,  and  likewise  the  total  foreign  born, 
according  to  country  of  birth;  the  native  whites  whose 
])ai’ents  were  both  born  abroad,  according  to  the 
country  of  birth  of  the  parents.;  and  the  native  whites 
with  one  foreign-born  parent,  the  other  being  native, 
accorduig  to  the  country  of  birth  of  the  foreign-born 
parent.  It  also  distinguishes  the  persons  bom  in  cer- 
tain foreign  countries,  accorduig  to  mother  tongue, 
and  gives  the  total  number  of  males  and  females  born 
in  each  foreign  country.  Statistics  are  given  for 
geograpliic  divisions,  states,  and  principal  cities,  and 
for  the  urban  and  rural  population  of  the  several  geo- 
grapliic  divisions.  Persons  living  in  Alaska,  Hawaii, 
Porto  Rico,  and  other  outlying  possessions  of  the 
United  States  are  not  included,  but,  on  the  other  hand, 
persons  living  in  the  United  States  proper  who  were 
born  in  any  of  these  outlying  possessions  are  treated 
as  natives  and  not  as  foreign  born. 

The  importance  of  the  foreign  element  may  be  seen 
fi’om  the  fact  that  of  the  91,972,266  inhabitants  of 
the  United  States  in  1910,  no  less  than  13,515,886,  or 
14.7  per  cent,  were  born  m some  foreign  country. 
In  addition,  there  wei’e  12,916,311  native  wliites  of 
foreign  parentage,  foi'mmg  14  per  ceizt  of  the  total 
population,  and  5,981,526  native  wlzites  of  mixed 
(native  and  foreign)  parentage,  formiizg  6.5  jzer  cent 
of  the  total.  These  three  classes — without  considei’ing 
the  small  number  of  native  nonwhites  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage — together  numbered  32,413,723,  or 
35.2  per  cent  of  the  population  of  the  country. 

Some  of  the  tables,  as  already  indicated,  relate  to 
the  total  foreign-born  population,  and  others  only  to 
the  foreign-born  whites.  Of  the  13,515,886  persons 
of  foreign  birth  in  1910,  13,345,545  were  whites,  the 
remainder,  which  was  only  170,341,  representing 
chiefly  Chinese  and  Japanese,  and  negroes  (mainly  from 
the  West  Indies).  In  most  cases  the  total  number 
bom  in  a given  country  is  substantially  the  same  as 
the  number  of  whites  born  in  that  country. 

Definition  of  terms. — For  brevity  the  Census  Bureau 
has  adopted  the  term  “foreign  wliite  stock”  to  indi- 
cate the  combined  total  of  three  classes,  namely,  the 
foreign-born  whites  themselves,  the  native  whites 
of  foreign  parentage,  and  the  native  whites  of  mixed 
parentage.  It  has  also  adopted  the  term  “country  of 
origin”  to  express,  in  the  case  of  the  foreign  born,  the 
country  of  birth  of  the  person  enumerated,  in  the  case 
of  the  native  whites  of  foreign  parentage,  the  country 


in  which  both  of  the  foreign  pai’ents  were  born,  and, 
in  the  case  of  the  native  whites  of  mixed  parentage, 
the  country  in  which  the  foreign  parent  was  born. 
The  combined  total  of  all  persons  in  these  three 
classes  for  whom  the  same  country  of  origin  is  shown 
is  designated  as  the  foreign  wliite  stock  derived  from 
that  country.  It  will  be  noted,  of  course,  that  in  the 
case  of  some  of  the  native  whites  of  foreign  parentage 
the  two  jiarents  were  not  born  m the  same  foreign 
counti’y.  Such  persons  are  classified,  in  the  tables 
showing  the  country  of  origin  of  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  parentage,  as  persons  of  “mixed  foreign  par- 
entage.” They  must,  of  course,  be  clearly  distin- 
guished from  the  persons  of  mixed  native  and  foreign 
parentage,  usually  called,  more  briefly,  of  “mixed 
parentage.” 

On  account  of  the  variety  of  races  repi’esented 
among  the  immigrants  from  certain  foreign  coun- 
tries, the  Census  Bureau  has  avoided  the  use  of  such 
terms  as  ^‘Gei'mans,”  “Russians,”  “Austrians,”  and 
the  like,  to  designate  the  persons  born  in  Germany, 
Russia,  Austria,  or  other  countries.  Confusion  would 
arise  from  identifying  country  of  birth  with  race  or 
nationality.  Persons  bom  in  Germany,  for  example, 
are  not  all  Germans,  wlfile,  conversely,  there  are  many 
Germans  who  were  born  in  other  countries,  particu- 
larly Austria,  Switzerland,  and  Russia. 

Mother-tongue  statistics. — An  amendment  to  the 
Thirteenth  Census  act  called  for  statistics  of  the 
“nationality  or  mother  tongue”  of  the  foreign-born 
population  and  of  the  parents  of  the  native  popula- 
tion of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage.  It  was  found 
expedient,  in  order  to  place  the  statistics  on  a definite 
basis,  to  call  simply  for  the  “mother  tongue.”  This 
term  is  generally  understood  to  mean  the  language 
of  customary  speech  before  immigration,  although  in 
the  home  countries  of  c(;rtain  classes  of  foreigners  the 
language  of  customary  speech  at  the  present  time  is 
not  the  language,  or  any  modification  of  the  langizage, 
of  their  distant  ancestors.  For  example,  most  of  the 
Scotch  speak  English  and  not  Gaelic.  In  some  such 
cases  the  ancestral  language,  rather  than  that  of  cus- 
tomary use,  was  doubtless  reported. 

Full  statistics  as  to  mother  tongue  will  appear  in  a 
special  report.  Such  statistics,  however,  are  chiefly 
significant  with  reference  to  the  natives  of  five 
countries — Germany,  Austria,  Hungary,  Russia,  and 
Canada — and  only  for  such  persons  are  mothei’-tonglie 
statistics  presented  in  this  Abstract.  Immigrants 
from  Canada  include  many  French-speaking  as  well 
as  many  English-sjzeaking  people,  while  the  very 
numerous  immigrants  from  each  of  the  other  four

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


counlrics  iticludo  a nuinb('r  of  widely  dili'eriiig  racial 
groups.  I'licrc  is  also  a coiisidcrable  mixture  of  races 
in  the  case  of  the  iiumigrauts  from  Belgium,  ])art  of 
whom  sp<'ak  Fnaich  and  part  Flemisli;  of  tliose  from 
8witzerhuid,  part  of  whom  speak  German,  j)art  French, 
and  ])art  Italian,  res])ectively ; and  of  those  from 
the  Balkan  peninsula.  In  view,  however,  of  the  c<nn- 
j)aratively  small  number  of  the  foreign  born  in  the 
United  States  wim  have  come  fi'oni  Belgium,  Switzer- 
land, and  the  Balkan  peninsula,  statistics  for  them  by  j 
mother  tongue  are  not  inchuled  in  this  Abstract.  For  | 
natives  of  most  of  the  other  countries  li-om  which  the  | 
United  States  lias  mainly  derived  its  foreign-born 
population,  statistics  as  to  mother  tongue  would  add 
little  information  of  value,  since  practically  all  persons 
from  these  countries  speak  the  mother  tongue  indi- 
cated by  the  name  of  the  country.  For  example, 
substantially  all  of  the  foreign  born  from  Sweden 
speak  Swedish,  and  of  those  from  Italy  almost  all 
speak  Italian;  while,  conversely,  practically  all  of  the 
unmigrants  whose  mother  tongue  was  Swedish  or 
Italian  have  come  from  Sweden  or  Italy,  as  the  case  ! 
may  be.  ' 

It  may  be  noted  further  that  statistics  as  to  the 
mother  tongue  of  ])ersons  born  in  the  United  Kingdom  ' 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  would  throw  little  light  ' 
upon  racial  origin.  Most  of  the  Scotch  and  the  Irish  i 
ordinarily  speak  the  English  language,  and,  while  j 
some  of  them  reported  Gaelic  or  Irish  as  their  mother 
tongue,  most  reported  English.  Consequently,  statis- 
tics of  the  number  born  in  Scotland  or  in  Ireland  give 
a more  accurate  idea  of  the  number  of  Scotch  or  Irish 
from  the  United  Kingdom  than  would  be  obtained  from 
the  number  reporting  the  res])ective  mother  tongues; 
and  the  same  is  also  true  of  ])ersons  born  in  Wales.

the  United  States  in  1910  and  1900,  respectively,  are 
summarized  in  Table  1,  in  which  the  countries  of  birth 
are  arranged  geographically. 

While  every  geographic  division  of  the  world  is 
represented  in  the  foreign-born  population  of  the 
United  States,  by  far  the  greater  ])ro})ortion  of  that 
population  has  come  from  Europe.  Persons  of 
Euroi)ean  birth  constituted  87.2  per  cent  of  the  total 
foreign  born  in  1910.  ]\Iost  of  the  remainder  were 
from  the  American  continent,  chiefly  from  Canada. 

Of  tlie  total  foreign-born  j)0])ulation,  49.9  per  cent 
were  from  the  countries  of  northwestern  Europe  and 
.37.4  per  cent  from  the  countries  of  southern  and  eastern 
Euro])e.  Germany  and  Ireland  were  the  most  im])or- 
tant  countries  of  the  former  grouj)  in  contributing  to 
the  ])oj)ulation  of  the  United  States,  and  Bussia  and  [ 
Finland,  Austria-T[ungary,  and  Italy  the  most  im]>or- 
tant  of  the  latter  group. 

Among  the  countries  of  birth  of  the  foreign-born 
popiilafion  of  the  United  Stales,  Germany  bold  first  ! 


place  in  1910,  with  2, ,50 1,333,  or  18.5  ])er  cent,  of  the 
total  foreign  born.  Next  in  im])ortance  were  Austria- 
J lungary,  with  12.4  per  cent;  Russia,  11.9  per  cent; 
Ireland,  10  per  cent;  Italy,  9.9  percent;  the  Scandi- 
navian countries  as  a group,  9.3  ])er  cent;  Great  Britain 
(England,  Scotland,  and  Wales).  9 per  cent;  and  Can- 
ada and  Newfoundland,  9 i)er  cent.  These  countries 
together  contributed  nine-tenths  of  the  total  foreign- 
born  ])0])ulation  of  the  United  States  enumerated  in 
1910.

TOTAL  FOREIGN  HORN,  1910:  13,515,886 


An  important  change  has  come  about  in  recent  years 
with  respect  to  the  countries  from  which  our  immi- 
grants are  chiefly  drawn.  Of  course,  this  change  is 
shown  less  obviously  by  the  statistics  of  the  foreign- 
born  population  as  enumerated  at  the  several  decen- 
nial censuses  than  by  the  immigration  statistics,  since 
survivors  of  earlier  immigration  are  still  numerous. 
Nevertheless,  a conspicuous  change  is  shown  by  a com- 
parison of  the  census  returns  for  1910  and  those  for 
1900,  as  appears  from  Table  1 and  the  three  diagrams 
on  this  page.  Whde  the  proportion  of  Europeans  in 
the  total  foreign-born  population  was  about  the  same 
at  both  censuses  (85.8  per  cent  in  1900  and  87.2  per 
cent  in  1910),  persons  from  northwestern  Europe  con- 
stituted 67.8  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  foreign 
born  in  1900,  but  only  49.9  per  cent  in  1910.  On  the 
other  hand,  southern  and  eastern  Eurojieans  formed 
only  17.7  per  cent  of  the  total  in  1900,  as  compared 
with  37.4  per  cent  10  years  later.  Persons  born  in  each 
individual  country  of  northwestern  Europe  except 
Belgium  formed  a smaller  proportion  of  the  foreign 
born  in  1910  than  in  1900,  while  persons  born  in  each 
country  of  southern  and  eastern  Europe  formed  a 
larger  proportion. 

The  factors  in  this  change  in  the  composition  of  the 
foreign-born  population  can  readily  be  seen  by  com- 
paring the  increases  from  1900  to  1910  in  the  number 
of  persons  born  in  the  respective  countries.  The 
increase  in  the  total  number  of  foreign  born  was 
3,174,610.  The  increase  in  the  number  of  southern 
and  eastern  Europeans  was  3,215,689,  or  more  than 
the  increase  in  the  total,  while  there  was  a decrease  of 
275,911  in  the  number  of  persons  reported  as  born  in 
northwestern  Europe.  This  decrease,  however,  was 
wholly  in  the  number  from  Germany,  Ireland,  and 


TOTAL  FOREIGN  BORN,  1900:  10,341,276 


Wales,  which  fell  off,  respectively,  11.1,  16.3,  and  11.9 
per  cent.  The  other  countries  of  northwestern  Europe 
were  represented  by  larger  numbers  in  the  foreign-born 
population  of  the  United  States  in  1910  than  in  1900, 
the  percentages  of  increase  ranging  from  4.4  for  Eng- 
land to  66  for  Belgium.  The  i^ercentages  of  increase 
for  all  of  the  countries  of  southern  and  eastern  Europe 
were  large — for  example,  1,089.5  per  cent  for  Greece, 
177.5  per  cent  for  Italy,  170.4  per  cent  for  Russia  and 
Finland,  and  162.3  per  cent  for  Austria-Hungary.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


ol'  persons  roporied  as  born  in  (/hina  l)cing  ollset  by 
increases  in  tlie  number  from  Japan  and  Turkey  in 
Asia.  Tlio  increase  in  the  number  of  persons  born  in 
American  countries  outside  of  the  United  States  was 
13  ])er  cent,  by  far  the  larger  part  of  the  increase  j 
being  contributed  l)y  Mexico.  i 

Considering  only  individual  countries,  and  not  the  j 
groui)s  of  countries  shown  in  Table  1,  tlie  following 
were,  in  order  of  rank,  the  ten  leading  countries  with  | 
respect  to  the  numbers  contributed  to  the  foreign-born  j

Comparative  statistics:  1860  to  1910. — Table  2 shows 
the  number  of  foreign  born,  liy  country  of  birth,  for 
eacli  census  from  1860  to  1910,  the  countries  being 
arranged  alpliabetically. 

This  table  emphasizes  even  more  strikingly  than 
Table  1 the  change  which  has  taken  place  in  the  com- 
position of  the  foreign-born  population  of  the  United 
States.  Thus  persons  born  in  Germany  constituted 
30.5  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  foreign  born  in 
1860,  but  only  18.5  per  cent  in  1910.  The  correspond- 
ing percentages  for  Ireland  were  38.5  and  10;  for  Eng- 
land, Scotland,  and  Wales  combined,  14.1  and  9.  On 
the  other  hand,  persons  born  in  Italy  constituted  only 
0.3  })er  cent  of  the  total  in  1860,  as  compared  with  9.9 
per  cent  in  1910,  while  the  percentages  for  Russia 
(including  Finland)  at  the  respective  censuses  were 
0.1  and  12.8,  and  for  Austria,  0.6  and  8.7. 

Fewer  persons  were  reported  as  born  in  Ireland  at 
the  census  of  1910  than  at  any  census  from  1860  to 
1900.  The  number  from  Wales  was  less  in  1910  than 
in  1880,  1890,  or  1900.  The  natives  of  Germany  and 
England  were  less  numerous  in  1910  than  in  1890.

Immigration  in  relation  to  the  foreign-born  popu- 
lation.— The  statistics  of  the  foreign  born  presented 
above  mak^e  no  distinction  as  to  length  of  residence  in 
tlie  United  States;  they  include  those  who  have  been 
in  this  country  50  years  or  more,  as  w-ell  as  immi- 
grants who  arrived  during  the  first  three  montlis  of 
1910,  just  before  the  census  was  taken.  The  increase 
of  3,174,610  in  the  number  of  foreign  born  from  1900 
to  1910  does  not  rejjresent,  of  course,  the  number  of 


immigrants  who  came  to  tlie  United  States  during 
tliosc  10  years.  The  foreign  born  are  constantly  being 
drawn  upon  by  return  migration  and  death,  and 
immigration  must  make  up  for  these  losses  before 
there  can  bo  any  increase  in  the  total  number.  The 
immigration  statistics  for  the  several  decades,  how- 
ever, go  far  to  explain  the  changes  from  census  to 
census  in  the  composition  of  the  foreign-born  ])opula- 
tion.  A remarkable  decrease  in  the  jiroiiortion  of

immigrants  from  northwestern  P^urope  and  a striking 
increase  in  the  proportion  from  soutlieni  and  eastern 
liluropo  form  cons])icuous  features  of  immigration 
statistics  for  the  past  decade,  as  compared  with  those 
for  earlier  decades.  PYr  the  10  years  between  the 
takuig  of  the  censuses  of  1900  and  1910  the  total 
immigration  was  about  8, 500, 000. ‘ Of  this  total, 
about  6,100,000,  or  72  per  cent,  were  from  southern 
and  eastern  Europe,  and  about  1,800,000,  or  21  per 
cent,  from  northwestern  Europe — the  latter  being  less 
than  onc-thu’d  the  number  from  the  southern  and 
eastern  countries. 

Wliile  there  was  an  immigration  of  about  8,500,000 
between  1900  and  1910,  the  census  shows  only  5 088,- 
084  persons  in  the  United  States  in  1910  who  had 
arrived  after  January  1,  1901,  which  would  justify  an 
estimate  of  5,250,000  as  the  total  number  of  persons 
enumerated  in  1910  (April  15)  who  had  arrived  since 
the  preceding  census.  The  difference  between  the 
latter  and  the  total  immigration,  about  3,250,000, 
represents  in  large  part  immigrants  who  returned  to 
their  own  country,  and,  to  a small  extent,  those  who 


died  between  their  arrival  and  the  date  of  the  enumera- 
tion. The  estimate  of  5,250,000  represents  the  con- 
tribution to  our  poj)ulation  of  the  immigration  of  the 
last  10  years.  As  already  stated,  the  increase  in  the 
foreign-born  })opulation  between  the  two  censuses  was 
only  3,174,610.  The  difference  of  more  than  two  mil- 
lions may  be  assumed  to  be  the  approximate  number 
of  deaths  between  1900  and  1910  of  the  foreign-born 
who  were  enumerated  in  1900.  It  may  be  assumed  ^ 
that  these  deaths  were  much  more  numerous  among 
persons  born  in  northwestern  Europe  than  among  those 
born  in  southern  and  eastern  Europe,  because  the  for- 
mer were  a much  larger  class  and  at  the  same  time, 
having  been  here  much  longer,  were  more  advanced  in 
years,  and  therefore  subject  to  a higher  death  rate. 
As  a result  of  these  combined  influences  there  has  been 
a decrease  in  the  foreign-born  population  from  north- 
western Europe,  as  compared  with  a great  increase  in 
that  derived  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe. 

Foreign-born  population,  by  sex. — Table  3 shows,  by 
sex,  the  foreign-born  population  of  the  United  States 
in  1910,  classified  according  to  country  of  birth.

In  the  foreign-bom  population  of  the  United  States 
as  a whole,  males  greatly  outnumber  females,  the  ratio 
in  1910  being  131.1  males  to  100  females.  Ireland  is 
the  only  country  shown  in  the  table  which  has  con- 
tributed a larger  number  of  females  than  of  males  to 
the  population  of  this  country,  although  persons 
born  in  Canada  of  other  than  French  descent  showed 
a slight  excess  of  females  over  males  in  1910,  which 
was  more  than  offset  by  the  excess  of  males  over 
females  among  those  born  in  C^anada  of  French 
descent.  Among  persons  born  in  Bulgaria,  Servia, 
or  Montenegro,  in  China,  Greece,  Japan,  and  in 
Turkey  in  Europe  who  resided  in  the  United  States 
in  1910,  the  males  were  many  tunes  as  numerous  as 
the  females,  and  among  persons  born  in  Spain  and  in 

* Since  the  census  of  1900  was  taken  as  of  June  1 and  that  of  1910 
as  of  April  15,  there  have  been  added  to  the  immigration  figures  for 
the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  1901,  those  for  the  month  of  June, 
1900;  and  from  the  figures  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  1910, 
there  have  been  subtracted  those  for  April,  May,  and  June,  1910. 


Turkey  in  Asia  the  males  were  more  than  twice  as 
numerous  as  the  females.  In  the  case  of  persons  from 
all  the  countries  of  southern  and  eastern  Europe  from 
which  recent  immigration  has  largely  been  drawn 
there  was  a very  marked  excess  of  males.  The  num- 
ber of  males  to  100  females  in  1910  w^as  154.6  for 
persons  born  in  Austria,  160.8  for  persons  born  in 
Hungary,  190.6  for  persons  bom  in  Italy,  and  137.3  for 
persons  born  in  Russia.  There  is  much  less  disparity 
between  the  sexes  in  the  case  of  the  foreign  born  from 
the  leading  countries  of  northwestern  Europe.  These 
differences  accord  with  the  well-known  fact  that  the 
immigrants  of  the  earlier  days,  who  came  mainly  from 
northwestern  Europe,  came  to  a large  extent  in  fami- 
lies and  settled  permanently  in  this  country,  while 
much  of  the  immigration  from  southern  and  eastern 
Europe  consists  of  single  men  and  of  married  men  who 
have  come  only  for  a temporary  stay  and  have  left 
their  families  in  their  home  countries.

ABS^riUCT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Population  from  Germany,  Austria,  Hungary,  and 
Russia,  by  mother  tongue.-  For  reasons  stated  in  the 
Introduetion,  statistics  of  niotlier  tongue  are  ])re- 
sented  in  detail  for  ])ersons  l)orn  in  Germany,  Austria, 
Ilungarv,  and  Russia.  Table  4 shows,  for  the  United 
States  as  a whole  and  its  geogra])hic  divisions,  the 
number  of  white  ])ersons  horn  in  each  of  the  four 
countries  just  named  who  were  enumerated  in  1910, 
distinguished  according  to  mother  tongue.  The  only 
other  statistics  of  mother  tongue  presented  in  tliis 
chapter  relate  to  persons  of  Canadian  birth,  distinction 
being  made,  however,  only  between  those  speaking 
French  and  all  others,  the  latter  consisting  almost 
wholly  of  ])ersons  speaking  English.  This  distinction  | 
is  carried  through  all  the  tables  giving  country  of  birth. 

The  great  bulk  of  the  foreign-born  whites  from  Ger- 
many speak  German  (90.4  ])er  cent  of  the  total  enumer- 
ated in  1910),  but  there  are  also  a considerable  number 
s])eaking  Polish.  Among  the  foreign-born  whites  who 
were  born  in  Austria  the  most  important  group  con- 
sists of  those  speaking  Polish,  who  constituted  28  per 
cent  of  the  total  in  1910,  followed  by  those  speaking 
Bohemian,  German,  Yiddish  and  Hebrew,  and  Slove- 
nian, in  the  order  named.  Of  the  persons  reported  as 
born  in  Hungary,  46  per  cent  gave  their  mother  tongue 
as  Magyar,  21.8  per  cent  as  Slovak,  and  14.8  per  cent 
as  German,  17.5  per  cent  reporting  other  languages. 

Of  the  white  persons  born  in  Russia,  more  than  one- 
half  (52.3  per  cent)  gave  their  mother  tongue  as  Yid- 
dish (including  those  reporting  Hebrew),  which  is  the 
prevailing  language  of  the  Jews  throughout  a large 
part  of  Europe,  while  more  than  a c|uarter  (26.1  per 
cent)  reported  Polish  as  the  mother  tongue.  There 
were  also  a considerable  number  who  reported 
Lithuanian  and  German,  while  the  number  who  gave 
Russian  as  their  mother  tongue  was  comparatively 
small,  only  2.5  per  cent  of  the  total. 

Previous  censuses  distinguished  persons  born  in  Po- 
land, although  Poland  is  not  an  independent  nation, 
having  been  partitioned  among  Russia,  Germany,  and 
Austria.  The  total  number  of  persons  reported  at 
the  census  of  1900  as  born  ui  Poland  was  383,407.* 
At  the  census  of  1910  Poland  was  not  distinguished 
as  a country  of  birth,  but  the  approximate  number 
of  ])ersons  born  in  the  former  kingdom  of  Poland 
may  be  determined  from  the  total  number  rej)orted 
as  speaking  the  Polish  language  who  were  natives 
of  Germany,  Austria,  or  Russia.  Such  persons  num- 
bered 937,884,  of  whom  190,096  were  reported  as 
born  in  Germany,  329,418  as  born  in  Austria,  and 
418,370  as  born  in  Russia.  A few  of  these  were  doubt- 
less born  outside  the  territorial  limits  of  the  former 

' This  figure  may  be  an  understatement,  because  of  the  pos.si- 
bility  that  some  of  the  persons  born  in  the  former  kingdom  of 
Poland  gave  their  birthplace  as  Germany,  Austria,  or  Russia. 


kingdom  of  Poland.  The  returns  for  1900  distinguish 
Russian,  German,  and  Austrian  Poland;  and  on  the 
basis  of  this  distinction,  persons  reported  as  bom  in 
Poland  have  been  distributed  under  Russia,  Ger- 
many, and  Austria,  resjtectively,  in  the  comparative 
tables,  but  for  earlier  censuses  they  have  been  in- 
cluded under  “all  other  countries.” 

Foreign  white  stock,  by  country  of  origin. — The 
total  foreign  white  stock  in  the  United  States  in 
1910  numbered  32,243,382,  of  whom  13,345,545,  or 
41.4  per  cent,  were  foreign  born,  12,916,311,  or  40.1 
per  cent,  were  native  whites  of  foreign  parentage, 
and  5,981,526,  or  18.6  per  cent,  were  native  whites 
of  mixed  parentage.  The  ilistribution  of  this  foreign 
white  stock  by  country  of  origin  is  shown  in  Table  5, 
on  page  194,  whicli  (listinguishes  between  the  three 
classes  of  persons  just  named,  and  gives  comparative 
figures  for  1900  so  far  as  available.  The  relative  im- 
portance of  the  leading  countries  of  origin  is  shown 
for  1910  in  the  diagram  below. 

Table  5,  page  194,  shows,  for  example,  that  in  1910 
there  were  8,282,618  white  persons  in  the  United  States 
having  Germany  as  their  country  of  origin,  comprising 
2,501,181  who  were  born  in  Germany,  3,911,847  born 
in  the  United  States  both  of  whose  parents  were  born 
in  Germany,  and  1,869,590  born  m the  United  States 
and  having  one  parent  born  in  the  United  States  and 
the  other  in  Germany.  It  will  he  noted  that  this  total 
does  not  include  all  native  white  persons  who  had  one 
parent  born  in  Germany.  In  the  case  of  some  native 
whites  one  parent  was  born  in  Germany  and  the  other 
in  some  other  foreign  countiy ; these  are  included  under 
the  designation  “persons  of  mixed  foreign  parentage,” 
and  not  with  those  having  Germany  as  their  country 
of  origin.

195 


Of  tlio  total  white  population  of  foreign  stock  in 
1910,  Germany  was  the  country  of  origin  of  8,282,618, 
or  25.7  per  cent;  Ireland  of  4,504,360,  or  14  ])orcent; 
Canada  of  8.5  i)er  cent;  Russia  and  Finland  of  8.5  j)er 
cent;  England  of  7.2  per  cent;  Italy  of  6.5  per  cent; 
and  Austria  of  6.2  ])or  cent.  These  seven  countries 
thus  account  for  over  three-fourths  of  the  total. 

Extraordinary  dill’crences  apjjear  with  respect  to 
the  raj)idity  of  increase  in  the  foreign  white  stock 
derived  from  the  respective  countries.  Persons  having 
Ireland  and  Wales  as  their  countries  of  origin  actually 
decreased  in  number  from  1900  to  1910.  All  the 
other  countries  for  which  comparative  statistics  are 
presented  in  the  table  show  an  increase  in  their  con- 
tributions to  the  foreign  wliite  stock  of  the  United 
States,  the  rates  of  increase  ranging  from  4 per  cent 
in  the  case  of  Germany  to  188.3  per  cent  in  the  case 
of  Italy,  204.7  per  cent  in  the  case  of  Russia  and  Fin- 
land, and  220.5  per  cent  in  the  case  of  Hungary. 

Significant  comparisons  may  be  made  between  the 
columns  in  Table  5 showing  the  number  of  persons 
born  in  a given  country  and  the  columns  showing  the 
native  whites  of  foreign  parentage  and  the  native 
wliites  of  mixed  parentage  who  had  the  same  country 
of  origin.  The  differences  among  the  several  countries 
of  origin  with  respect  to  the  relative  magnitude  of  the 
figures  in  the  three  columns  are  largely  due  to  differ- 
ences in  the  dates  at  which  the  greatest  immigration 
from  those  countries  occurred.  For  example,  the 
great  bulk  of  immigration  from  Germany  took  place 
a considerable  time  ago,  and  it  is  but  natural  that  in  the 
population  in  1910  the  number  of  persons  born  in  the 
United  States  both  of  whose  parents  were  born  in  Ger- 
many should  be  greater  than  the  number  of  persons 
who  were  themselves  born  in  Germany.  On  the  other 
hand,  most  of  the  immigration  from  Italy  has  taken 
place  in  recent  years,  and  the  number  of  natives  of 
Italy  was  much  greater  than  the  number  of  persons 
born  in  the  United  States  of  Italian  parents  or  than 
the  combined  number  of  such  persons  and  those  with 
one  American  and  one  Italian  parent. 

In  the  case  of  only  four  of  the  countries  listed  did 
the  native  whites  both  of  whose  parents  were  born 
in  the  specified  country  outnumber  the  persons  who 
were  themselves  born  there.  These  four  countries 
are  Germany,  Ireland,  Norway,  and  Wales.  In  sev- 
eral other  cases,  however,  the  combined  number  of 
native  wliites  of  foreign  parentage  and  native  wliites 
of  mixed  foreign  and  native  jiarentage  having  a given 
country  of  origin  exceeded  the  number  of  persons 
themselves  bom  in  that  country.  This  is  true  of 
Canada,  Denmark,  England,  France,  the  Netherlands, 
Scotland,  Sweden,  and  Switzerland. 


In  the  case  of  all  the  other  countries  listed  (namely, 
Austria,  Belgium,  the  combined  countries  of  Bulgaria, 
Servia,  and  Montenegro,  Greece,  Hungary,  Italy, 
Mexico,  Portugal,  Roumania,  Russia  and  Finland, 
Spain,  Turkey  in  Asia,  and  Turkey  in  Europe)  the 
persons  themselves  born  abroad  exceeded  the  natives 
of  foreign  and  mixed  jiarcntage  combined. 

The  statistics  in  Table  5 regarding  the  country  of 
origin  of  the  native  whites  of  mixed  parentage  are 
significant,  as  indicating  indirectly  the  relative  extent 
of  intermarriage  between  persons  born  in  the  several 
foreign  countries  and  native  Americans.  There  are 
no  census  data  available  showing  directly  the  number 
of  such  intermarriages,  but  the  last  two  columns  in 
Table  5 show  the  number  of  surviving  cliildren  of  such 
intermarriages.  In  1910  the  total  of  tliis  class  was 
5,981,526.  Native  wliites  of  mixed  foreign  and  native 
parentage  whose  foreign  parent  was  born  in  Germany 
numbered  1,869,590;  those  with  the  foreign  parent 
born  in  Ireland,  1,010,628;  in  Canada,  920,278;  and 
in  England,  853,702.  These  four  groups  aggregated 
4,654,198,  or  nearly  four-fifths  of  the  total  native 
whites  of  mixed  parentage. 

It  may  be  noted  further,  by  comparing  the  number 
of  native  wdiites  both  of  whose  parents  were  foreign 
born  with  the  number  having  one  parent  foreign  bom 
and  the  other  native,  that  the  latter  are  more  numer- 
ous than  the  former  in  the  case  of  five  of  the  countries 
of  origin  listed,  namely,  Canada,  England,  Scotland, 
France,  and  Spain. 

The  diagram  on  the  opposite  page  shows  the  total 
number  of  persons  of  foreign  white  stock  in  1910  for 
each  of  the  principal  countries  of  origin,  distinguishing 
in  each  case  the  foreign-born  whites,  the  native  whites 
of  foreign  parentage,  and  the  native  whites  of  mixed 
parentage. 

DIVISIONS  AND  STATES. 

Total  foreign  born,  by  divisions. — Table  14,  on 
pages  204  to  207,  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the 
number  of  the  foreign  bom  of  all  races  combined, 
distributed  according  to  country  of  birth,  at  each  census 
from  1890  to  1910.  The  table  also  presents  corre- 
sponding data  by  states  for  1910  and  1900. 

Table  6 distributes,  by  percentages,  the  foreign-born 
population  of  each  geographic  division  at  the  last  two 
censuses  according  to  country  of  bu’tli.^ 

* A Bubsequent  table  (Table  9),  which  deals  with  the  foreign 
white  stock,  distinguishing  the  foreign-born  whites  from  the  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  furnishes  an  even  more  con- 
venient basis  for  noting  the  relative  importance  of  the  leading 
countries  of  birth  in  contributing  to  the  foreign-born  white  popula- 
tion of  the  several  geographic  divisions.  Although  it  relates  only 
to  the  whites,  in  the  case  of  most  geographic  divisions  the  per- 
centages are  almost  the  same  as  those  based  upon  the  total  foreign 
born  of  all  races.

2 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


For  New  England  the  most  important  countries  of 
bEth  of  the  foreign  born  enumerated  in  1910  were,  in 
the  order  of  their  rank,  Canada,  Ireland,  and  Ilussia, 
each  of  which  contributed  over  10  per  cent  of  the 
total,  followed  by  Italy  and  England.  For  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division  they  were  Ilussia,  Italy,  Germany, 
Ireland,  and  Austria.  For  the  East  North  Central  divi- 
sion they  were  Germany  and  Austria,  each  of  which 
contributed  over  10  per  cent,  followed  by  Canada 
and  Russia,  each  with  8.9  per  cent.  For  the  West 
North  Central  division  the  most  unportant  countries  of 
birth  were  Germany,  Sweden , Norway,  and  Russia.  For 
the  Mountain  division  the  leading  positions  were  occu- 
pied by  England,  Mexico,  and  Germany,  and  for  the 
Pacific  division  by  German}^,  Canada,  and  Italy.  In 
neither  of  these  two  western  divisions  was  any  one 
country  of  birth  represented  by  as  much  as  one-sixth 
of  the  total  foreign-born  population.  In  the  three 
southern  divisions  the  total  number  of  foreign  born 
was  comparatively  small.  Persons  born  in  Germany 
occupied  the  leading  place  in  the  South  Atlantic  and 
East  South  Central  divisions,  and  those  born  in  Mexico 
in  the  West  South  Central  division. 

Marked  differences  Jijipear  among  the  natives  of 
different  foreign  countries  with  rosjiect  to  the  section.^ 
of  the  United  States  to  which  tlic  greatest  mimbers 
have  gone.  These  differences  are  most  clearly  brought 
out  by  Table  7,  which  shows,  liy  percentages,  the 
distribution  of  the  ])ersons  born  in  each  foreign 
country  according  to  the  geographic  divisions  in 


which  they  were  living  at  the  census  of  1910.  For 
comparison  the  distribution  of  the  total  foreign-born 
population  and  also  that  of  the  total  population  are 
shown. 

In  view  of  the  very  large  foreign-born  population 
of  the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  it  is  natural  that  that 
division  should  contain  more  of  the  persons  from 
many  of  the  countries  specified  than  any  other  divi- 
sion. Of  the  natives  of  Austria  in  the  United  States 
in  1910,  47.1  per  cent  were  in  the  Middle  Atlantic 
division  and  27  ])er  cent  in  the  East  North  Centrid. 
Of  persons  born  in  Canada,  43.7  per  cent  were  in  New 
England  and  22.7  per  cent  in  the  East  North  Central 
division.  Of  those  from  England,  34.9  per  cent 
were  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  dirision,  19.4  per  cent 
in  the  East  North  Central,  and  17.S  ])er  cent  in  New 
England ; the  distribution  of  persons  born  in  Scotland 
was  very  similar.  Of  the  natives  of  German}^,  30.8  j)er 
cent  were  in  the  East  North  Central  division,  30.2 
per  cent  in  the  Middle  Atlantic,  and  17.1  per  cent 
in  the  West  North  Central.  Many  of  the  earlier 
German  immigrants  went  to  the  farms  of  these  geo- 
gra])hic  divisions.  Of  {)ersons  born  in  Hungary,  54.1 
per  cent  were  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division  (many 
of  them  in  the  mining  regions  of  Pennsylvania)  ami 
32.7  ])er  cent  in  the  East  North  Central. 

Of  ])crsons  born  in  Ireland,  45.5  ])er  cent  were  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division,  24.7  ])er  cent  in  New  England, 
and  13.3  'i)er  cent  in  the  East  North  (Antral  division. 
A decided  concentration  appears  in  the  case  of  iia-

tivcs  of  Italy,  no  less  than  5S.4  per  cent  in  1910 
being  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  13.4  per  cent 
in  New  England,  and  10.9  per  cent  in  the  East  North 
Central  division.  Of  persons  born  in  Russia,  55.7 
per  cent  were  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  17.2  per 
cent  in  the  East  North  Central,  and  12  per  cent  in 
New  England. 

The  natives  of  the  Scandinavian  countries  have 
largely  gone  to  the  farming  regions  of  the  Middle  West. 
Of  those  born  in  Norway,  49.2  per  cent  in  1910  were  in 


tlic  West  North  Central  division  and  24.6  per  cent  in  the 
East  North  Central,  and  of  those  born  in  Sweden,  32.1 
per  cent  were  in  the  West  North  Central  and  26.8 
per  cent  in  the  East  North  Central.  The  distribution 
of  those  born  in  Denmark  is  similar.  Of  the  European 
immigrants,  those  born  in  Portugal  show  the  most  un- 
equal distribution,  nearly  all  of  them  being  found  in 
the  New  England  and  Pacific  divisions.  The  natives 
of  China  and  Japan  have  settled  chiefly  in  the  Pacific 
division.

Table  8 shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the  number 
of  foreign-bom  persons  reported  at  the  censuses  of 
1910  and  1900  classified  into  three  groups;  (1)  Those 
born  in  northwestern  Europe;  (2)  those  bom  in 
southern  and  eastern  Europe;  and  (3)  those  bom  in  all 
other  foreign  countries. 

There  are  conspicuous  differences  among  the  geo- 
graphic divisions  with  respect  to  the  proportions 
which  these  three  groups  of  countries  have  contributed 
to  the  foreign-born  population.  In  the  New  England 
division,  for  example,  in  1910  only  39.4  per  cent  of 
the  foreign  born  were  from  northwestern  Europe, 
while  29.3  per  cent  were  from  southern  and  eastern 
Europe  and  31.3  per  cent  from  other  countries, 
mainly  Canada.  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  West  North 
Central  division  70.4  per  cent  of  the  foreign  born  were 
from  northwestern  Europe,  21.9  per  cent  from  south- 
ern and  eastern  Europe,  and  only  7.7  per  cent  from 
all  other  countries.  The  proportion  from  southern  and 
eastern  Europe  was  conspicuously  high  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  53.4  per  cent.  The  proportion 
from  non-European  countries  was  highest  in  the  West 
South  Central  division,  where  there  are  considerable 


numbers  of  Mexicans  in  the  comparatively  small 
foreign-born  population.

More  than  half  of  tho  total  luunbcr  of  southorn 
and  eastoni  Europeans  in  the  United  States  in  1910 
resided  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  and  more 
than  four-fifths  of  them  were  in  tlie  Middle  Atlantic, 
Xew  England,  and  East  North  Central  divisions, 
taken  together.  On  the  other  hand,  less  than  one- 
half  of  the  northwestern  Europeans  were  in  tho 
Middle  Atlantic  division,  and  the  three  divisions  just 
named,  taken  together,  contained  a little  more  than 
two-thirds  of  the  total  number. 


Foreign  white  stock,  by  divisions. — Table  13,  pages 
202  and  203,  shows,  for  1910,  by  geographic  divisions, 
the  total  foreign  white  stock  of  each  country  of 
origin,  distinguishing  between  white  persons  themselves 
foreign  born  and  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage. 

The  principal  facts  brought  out  in  Table  13  are  shown

COUNTRY  OF  ORIGIN. 


199 


It  will  bo  noted  that  the  order  in  which  the  countries 
rank  tis  contributors  to  the  forci"n-born  wliite  popu- 
lation, taken  by  itself,  is  not  jilways  the  same  as  the 
order  in  which  they  rank  as  contributors  to  the  total 
foreign  white  stock.  Germany  ranks  first  as  country' 
of  origin  of  the  foreign  white  stock  in  all  the  geo- 
graphic divisions  except  the  New  England  and  Moun- 
tain divisions,  where  first  place  is  held  by  Canada  and 
England,  respectively.  The  second  place  is  occupied 
by  Ireland  in  the  New  England,  Middle  Atlantic, 
East  North  Central,  South  Atlantic,  East  South 
Central,  and  Pacific  divisions;  by  Norway  in  the  West 
North  Central;  by  Mexico  in  the  West  South  Central; 
and  by  Germany  in  the  Mountain  division. 

Table  9 shows  also,  for  each  country  of  origin,  the  pro- 
portion of  the  total  foreign  white  stock  which  consists, 
respectively,  of  white  persons  themselves  born  abroad 
and  of  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage. 
The  differences  in  the  relative  importance  of  these  two 
classes  which  appear  in  the  statistics  already  presented 
for  the  United  States  as  a whole  usually  appear  also  in 
the  statistics  for  each  geographic  division.  In  the  case 
of  the  stock  derived  from  the  countries  from  which  most 
of  the  earlier  immigration  came,  there  are  usually 
more  natives  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  than  per- 
sons themselves  foreign  born,  while  the  opposite  is  the 


case  with  respect  to  the  stock  derived  from  countries 
from  which  immigration  has  chiefly  been  drawn  during 
recent  years. 

Table  10  gives  i)ercentagos  computed  from  Table  1.3, 
showing  the  distribution  of  the  foreign  white  stock  from 
each  countiy  of  origin  among  the  several  geographic 
divisions.  The  percentages  in  this  table  bear  a general 
similarity  to  those  in  Table  7,  which  shows  the  distri- 
bution of  the  persons  themselves  born  abroad.  This 
is  naturally  the  case,  since  most  of  tlie  native  whites 
of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  having  a given  country 
of  origin  reside  in  the  sections  of  the  country  in  which 
their  parents  settled. 

Foreign  born  and  foreign  white  stock,  by  states. — 
Table  14,  pages  204  to  207, ‘shows,  for  1910  and  1900, 
the  number  of  the  foreign  born  in  each  state  classified 
according  to  country  of  bhth,  while  Table  15,  pages  208 
and  209,  shows,  for  1910,  the  number  of  the  native  whites 
of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  classified  according  to  the 
country  of  birth  of  the  foreign-born  parent  or  parents. 
In  the  case  of  most  countries  of  origin,  the  approximate 
total  foreign  white  stock  resident  in  a given  state  may 
be  obtained  by  adding  the  figures  in  Table  14  to  those 
in  Table  15,  since  in  most  cases  the  total  number  of  for- 
eign born  from  a given  country  is  practically  the  same  as 
the  number  of  foreign-born  whites  from  that  country.

URBAN  AND  RURAL  COMMUNITIES. 

Table  11  shows,  for  1910,  for  the  United  States  as  a 
whole,  the  number  of  persons  born  in  each  of  the  lead- 
ing foreign  countries,  classified  as  resident  in  urban  or 
in  rural  communities,  with  corresponding  percentages. 
Urban  communities,  as  defined  by  the  Census  Bureau, 
include  all  cities  and  other  incorporated  places  of  2,500 
inhabitants  or  more,  including  New  England  towns 
of  that  population. 

The  foreign  born  from  most  countries  have  settled 
mainly  in  urban  communities.  While  considerably 
less  than  half  (46.3  per  cent)  of  the  total  population 
of  the  United  States  in  1910  was  urban,  72.1  per  cent 
of  the  foreign-born  population  was  urban.  There  are, 
however,  striking  differences  in  this  respect  among  the 


natives  of  the  several  foreign  countries.  In  1910  more 
than  five-sixths  of  those  from  Ronmania,  the  West 
Indies,  Russia,  Turkey  in  Asia,  and  Ireland  resided  in 
urban  communities,  while  more  than  three-fourths  of 
those  from  Canada  who  were  of  French  descent,  and 
of  those  from  Turkey  in  Europe,  Italy,  and  Hungary 
were  urban,  and  more  than  seven-tenths  of  those 
from  China,  England,  Scotland,  Austria,  and  Greece. 
On  the  other  hand,  less  than  half  of  the  foreign 
born  from  Mexico,  Norway,  Denmark,  and  Japan 
were  in  urban  communities,  and  the  proportion  was 
comparatively  low  also  in  the  case  of  persons  born 
in  Finland,  in  Bulgaria,  Servia,  or  Montenegro,  in 
Switzerland,  and  in  the  Netherlands.  Of  natives  of 
Germany — the  most  important  class  in  the  foreign-

born  ])()j)ulation — almost  exactly  two-t.liirds  lived  in 
urban  communities. 

In  general,  the  immigi’ants  from  the  countries  of 
southern  and  eastern  Europe,  who  have  come  mainly 
during  recent  years,  have  settled  in  cities  to  a greater 


extent  than  the  immigrants  from  northwestern  Europe, 
most  of  whom  came  at  an  earlier  period.  The  Irish, 
liowever,  although  most  of  them  came  at  an  earlier 
period,  have  manifested  a conspicuous  preference  for 
urban  life.

FOREIGN-BORN  POPULATION:  1910

Table  12  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the  num- 
ber of  the  foreign  born  from  each  of  the  leading  for- 
eign countries  living  in  urban  and  rural  communities, 
respectively,  together  with  the  percentage  urban.  It 
should,  of  course,  be  borne  in  mind  that  there  are  great 
differences  among  the  divisions  with  respect  to  the 
percentage  of  urban  dwellers  in  the  total  population, 
which  for  comparison  is  also  shown  in  the  table. 

PRINCIPAL  CITIES. 

Table  16,  page  210,  shows,  for  1910  and  1900,  the 
foreign-born  population  of  each  city  of  250,000  inhab- 
itants or  more,  distributed  according  to  country  of 
birth,  while  Table  17,  pages  211  to  213,  gives  similar 
data,  for  1910  only,  for  cities  having  from  25,000  to 
250,000  inhabitants.  The  tables  bring  out  striking 
differences  among  the  cities  with  respect  to  the  rela- 
tive importance  of  the  different  countries  in  con- 
tributing to  the  foreign-bora  population.  Table  16 
also  shows  that  many  striking  changes  occurred  be- 
tween 1900  and  1910. 

New  York  City  in  1910  contained  one-nineteenth 
of  the  total  population  of  the  United  States  and  about 
one-seventh  of  the  total  foreign-born  population.  Of 
the  1,944,357  residents  of  the  city  who  were  born 
abroad,  484,193  were  natives  of  Russia,  340,770  of 
Italy,  278,137  of  Germany,  252,672  of  Ireland,  and  j 


190,246  of  Austria,  no  other  country  being  repre- 
sented by  as  many  as  100,000. 

Of  the  783,428  foreign-born  residents  of  Cliicago  in 
1910,  182,289  were  born  in  Germany,  132,063  in 
Austria,  121,786  in  Russia,  65,965  in  Ireland,  and 
63,035  in  Sweden,  less  than  50,000  being  natives  of 
any  other  single  country. 

The  following  tabular  statement  names  for  each  of 
the  cities  having  over  250,000  inhabitants  in  1910  the 
two  countries  having  the  largest  representation  among 
the  foreign-born  population:

THE  FOREIGN-BOKN  POPULATION— DATE  OF  IMMIGRATION. 


Introduction. — This  cliaptor  summarizes  the  statis- 
tics in  regard  to  the  year  of  immigration  of  the  for- 
eign-born poj)ulation,  as  returned  at  the  Thirteenth 
Decennial  Census.  The  census  schetlules  of  1910  and 
1900  both  contained  an  inquiry,  apjilicable  oidy  to  the 
foreign-born  population,  as  to  the  year  of  immigration 
to  the  United  States.  This  inquiry  was  designed  in 
part  to  afford,  in  connection  with  the  statistics  of  im- 
migration, a means  for  determining  what  proportion 


of  the  immigrants  of  each  year  or  period  of  years  had 
remained  in  this  country  and  were  still  living.  It  also 
furnishes  a basis  for  determining  the  sections  of  the 
country  in  which  the  immigrants  of  different  periods 
have  mainly  settled. 

United  States  as  a whole. — Table  1 summarizes  the 
results  of  this  inquiry  at  the  last  two  censuses  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole  (not  including  Alaska,  Ha- 
waii, Porto  Rico,  or  other  outlying  possessions) .

It  will  be  noted  from  this  table  that  for  about  one- 
tenth  of  the  foreign-born  population,  both  in  1910 
and  in  1900,  the  year  of  immigration  was  not  reported. 
Consequently  the  numbers  reported  as  having  arrived 
in  each  specified  year  or  group  of  years  somewhat 
understate  the  actual  numbers.  There  is  no  way  of 
knowing  whether  this  understatement  is  relatively 
greater  in  the  case  of  one  class  than  in  the  case  of 
another,  but  it  is  probable  that  approximately  cor- 
rect figures  for  any  given  year  or  group  of  years  will 
be  obtained  by  adding  one-ninth  to  the  number  actu- 
ally reported. 

The  percentages  shown  in  Table  1 (except  those  in 
the  last  two  lines)  are  all  based  upon  the  total  number 
for  whom  the  year  of  immigration  was  reported.  Of 
the  foreign  born  of  all  races  combined  in  1910  for  whom 
the  year  was  reported,  21.1  per  cent  had  arrived  dur- 
ing the  period  from  January  1,  1906,  to  April  15,  1910 


(four  years,  three  and  one-half  months),  16.7  per  cent 
during  the  five  years  1901-1905,  8.7  per  cent  between 
1896  and  1900,  9.5  per  cent  between  1891  and  1895,  and 
43.9  percent  in  1890  or  earlier.  About  three-eighths  of 
those  for  whom  thedate  of  arrival  was  reported  thus  ar- 
rived during  the  period  of  nine  years,  three  and  one-half 
months  beginning  January  1,  1901,  and  five-eighths  be- 
fore that  date.  The  percentages  for  the  foreign-born 
whites  taken  by  themselves  are  substantially  the  same. 

This  table  reflects  roughly  the  variations  which  have 
taken  place  from  year  to  year  in  the  number  of  immi- 
grants. For  example,  the  number  reported  in  1910 
as  having  arrived  during  1907  (706,771)  was  much 
greater  than  the  number  reported  as  having  arrived 
during  1908  (412,683),  which  corresponds  with  the  va- 
riation shown  by  the  statistics  of  immigration.  Again, 
the  number  reported  as  having  arrived  during  the  five 
years  1891-1895  (1,157,513)  was  considerably  greater 

(215) 


ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


21t> 

t han  the  number  reported  as  having  arrivetl  from  1890 
to  1900  (1,06.'1,699),  which  conforms  to  the  statistics 
shouang  that  immigration  was  heavier  during  the  ear- 
lier years  of  that  decade  than  during  the  later. 

Table  1 also  presents  estimates  as  t o the  total  num- 
ber of  the  foreign  boin  enumerated  in  1910  who  had 
arrived,  respectively,  before  and  after  January  1,  1901. 
Tlie  estimates  (which  represent  the  totals  derived  from 
calculations  made  for  each  stale  separately)  are  made 
on  the  assumption  that  the  ])ei‘Sons  for  whom  the  date 
of  arrival  was  not  reported  should  be  distributed  in 
the  same  ratio  as  those  for  whom  reports  were  made. 
Similar  estimates  have  been  made  on  the  l)asis  of  the 
returns  at  the  census  of  1900.  It  is  estimated  on 
the  above  basis  that  about  .5,000,000  of  tlie  foreign- 


born  whites  wlio  were  enumerated  on  April  15,  1910, 
had  arrived  in  this  country  subsequently  to  January 
1,  1901.  During  the  period  from  January  1,  1901,  to 
April  1,  1910,  the  Bureau  of  Immigration  recorded 
the  arrival  in  the  United  States  of  8, 22.3, .325  immi- 
grants. The  difference  betweeii  these  two  figures, 
about  3,223,325,  represents  the  number  .who  had  left 
the  country  or  died — chiefly  those  who  had  returned 
to  their  native  country.  Tliose  who  were  enumerated 
in  1910  represented  62.2  percent  of  the  total  number 
of  immigrants  during  this  period. 

Divisions  and  states. — Table  2 shows,  by  geographic 
divisions  and  states,  the  foreign-born  white  popula- 
tion as  enumerated  in  1910,  distributed  according  to 
the  time  of  arrival  in  the  United  States.

1 Percentages  based  only  on  the  number  for  whom  the  year  of  inimigralion  was  reported. 


Marked  differences  appear  among  the  geographic 
divisions  with  respect  to  the  r(flative  importance  of 
recent  and  earlier  immigrants  in  the  presents  foreign- 
born  population.  Designating  persons  who  came  to 
the  United  States  after  January  1,  1901,  as  recent 
arrivals,  and  those  who  came  before  tliat  date  as 
earlier  arrivals,  it  will  be  seen  that  in  the  United 
States  as  a whole  the  recent  arriA'^als  formed  37.7  per 
cent  of  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  whites  for 
whom  the  year  of  arrival  was  reported.  In  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  however,  they  represented  44.6 


per  cent  of  the  total,  in  the  South  Atlantic  division 
41.2  per  cent,  and  in  the  Mountain  division  40.3  per 
cent.  On  tlie  other  hand,  in  the  West  North  Central 
division  the  newcomers  constituted  only  24.9  per 
cent  of  the  total  foreign-born  wliite  ])opulation,  and 
in  the  East  South  Central  only  23.9  per  cent.' 

' Since  those  j)erceiit,ap:es  are  based  upon  the  figures  lor  those 
who  reported  the  year  of  iniinigration,  they  are,  of  course,  subject 
to  a certain  margin  of  error  because  of  the  fact  that  the  considerable 
number  of  ])ersons  who  failed  to  report  the  year  of  immigration 
may  have  been  differently  distributed  as  regards  the  time  of  arrival; 
but  beyond  question  they  bring  out  substantially  the  true  con- 
ditions in  the  several  geographic  divisions.

Another  method  of  showing  tJie  difference  between 
the  recent  arrivals  and  the  earlier  with  respect  to  the 
sections  of  the  country  in  which  they  have  settled  is 
by  means  of  percentages,  distributing  among  the  geo- 
graphic divisions  tlie  total  number  reported  as  having 
arrived  within  a given  period  of  time.  Such  per- 
centages, derived  from  Table  2,  are  shown  in  Table  3.

The  recent  arrivals  have  largely  concentrated  in  the 
three  northeastern  geographic  divisions — the  New  Eng- 
land, the  Middle  Atlantic,  and  the  East  North  Central — 
principally  in  the  Middle  Atlantic.  Of  the  foreign- 
born  whites  enumerated  in  1910  who  reported  arrival 
after  January  1,  1906,  43.3  per  cent  were  in  the  Middle 


Atlantic  division,  20.6  per  cent  in  the  East  North 
Central  division,  and  14.6  per  cent  iti  New  England, 
leaving  only  21.4  per  cent  in  all  the  rest  of  the  country. 
The  distribution  of  those  who  reported  arrival  between 
1901  and  1905  was  substantially  the  same,  and  tliat  of 
those  earlier  immigrants  who  arrived  from  1891  to 
1900  was  not  very  different.  On  the  other  Jiand, 
of  tliose  who  had  arrived  in  1890  or  earlier,  f)nly 

29.8  per  cent  were  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division  and 

12.9  per  cent  in  the  New  England  division.  The  i)ro- 
portion  of  this  class  residing  in  the  East  North  Central 
division  (27  per  cent),  however,  was  much  larger  than 
the  proportion  of  the  more  recent  immigrants  residing 
in  that  division.  The  West  North  Central  division 
contained  15.8  per  cent  of  those  Avho  reported  arrival 
in  1890  or  earlier,  while  only  7.4  per  cent  of  those  who 
arrived  after  January  1,  1906,  were  in  that  division. 

To  facilitate  comparison  between  the  recent  ar- 
rivals and  the  earlier,  the  foreign-l)orn  whites  in  each 
geographic  division  and  state  who  failed  to  report  the 
date  of  arrival  have  been  distributed  by  estimates  as 
having  arrived,  respectively,  before  and  after  January 
1,  1901.  The  estimates  are  made  in  the  manner  al- 
ready explained  in  connection  with  Table  1,  page  215. 
The  results  are  shown  in  Table  4.

Urban  and  rural  communities.— Table  5 distributes 
the  foreign-born  white  population  in  the  urban  and 
rural  communities,  respectively,  of  each  geographic 
division  according  to  the  time  of  arrival  in  the  United 
States. 


This  table  shows  that  the  more  recent  arrivals  have 
more  generally  gone  to  urban  communities  than  the 
earlier  ones.  In  1910,  of  the  foreign-born  whites  in 
urban  communities  who  reported  the  year  of  immigra- 
tion, 39.8  percent  had  arrived  after  January  1,  1901;  of

more,  as  enumerated  at  the  census  of  1910,  according 
to  the  time  of  arrival  in  the  United  States.  Very 
marked  differences  appear  among  the  cities  with  re- 
spect to  the  proportions  of  the  more  recent  and  the 
earlier  arrivals.  In  New  York  City  23.6  per  cent  of 


those  who  reported  specifically  the  year  of  arrival  had 
arrived  between  January  1,  1906,  and  the  date  of  enu- 
meration in  1910;  22  percent  between  1901  and  1905; 
and  54.4  per  cent  in  1900  or  earlier.  In  New  Orleans, 
on  the  other  hand,  only  9.9  per  cent  reported  arrival 
between  1906  and  1910,  while  78.6  per  cent  reported

Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  llico,  and  other  outlying  pos-

In  the  first  part  of  the  chapter  relatmg  to  school 
attendance  figures  are  given  for  the  whole  number 
of  persons  attendmg  school  in  1909-10,  but  compari- 
sons vdth  the  population  are  confined  to  persons  from 
6 to  20  years  of  age.  A full  discussion  is  given  for 
the  United  States  as  a whole  for  different  classes  of 
the  population,  classified  by  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage,  by  sex,  and  by  age  groups,  with  further

SCHOOL 

UNITED  STATES  AS  A WHOLE:  1909-10. 

The  statistics  of  school  attendance  of  the  census  of 
1910  are  based  upon  the  answers  to  a question  on  the 
population  schedule  as  to  whether  the  person  enu- 
merated had  attended  school  between  September  1, 
1909,  and  the  date  of  enumeration,  April  15,  1910.  If 
the  person  enumerated  had  attended  any  kind  of  school 
for  any  length  of  time  duiing  the  period  in  question, 
an  affirmative  answer  was  to  be  entered  upon  the 
schedule. 

Persons  attending  school,  classified  by  color  or  race, 
nativity,  and  parentage. — The  total  number  of  per- 
sons reported  as  having  attended  school  between 
September  1,  1909,  and  April  15,  1910,  was  18,009,891. 
It  is  not  to  be  imderstood  that  all  of  these  persons  were 
in  school  on  April  15,  or  that  they  were  simultaneously 
attending  school  at  any  tune  during  the  period. 
They  represent  the  whole  number  who  had  any  rela- 
tion as  pupils  to  the  schools  of  the  country  during 
this  tune,  and  may,  for  brevity,  be  designated  as 
persons  attending  school  in  1909-10.  Though  the 
period  falls  from  two  to  two  and  a half  months  short 
of  the  entire  school  year  1909-10,  the  number  of  per- 
sons who  enter  school  m April,  May,  and  June  of  any 
school  year  who  have  not  been  at  school  earlier  ui  the 
year  is  an  msignificant  part  of  the  whole  enrollment. 
Hence  the  period  covered  by  the  census  enumeration 
can  be  regarded  as  practically  identical  mth  the  school 
year.  Table  1 shows  the  distribution  of  the  persons 
attending  school  in  1909-10  among  the  several  color 
or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  groups. 


munities  and  rural  districts.  Similar  material  in 
more  condensed  form  is  given  for  the  geographic  divi- 
sions and  states  and  for  the  prmcipal  cities.  Com- 
parative figures  for  the  censuses  of  1910  and  1900 
relate  to  the  population  from  5 to  20  years  of  ago. 

In  the  second  part  of  the  chapter  relatmg  to  illit- 
eracy figures  are  presented  for  the  United  States  as  a 
whole  for  the  population  10  years  of  age  and  over, 
classified  by  color  or  race,  nativity,  parentage,  sex, 
and  age,  and  as  resident  in  urban  communities  and 
rural  districts.  Similar  statistics  m more  condensed 
form  are  given  for  each  of  the  geographic  divisions  and 
states  and  for  the  prmcipal  cities.  The  chapter  also 
gives  a separate  discussion  of  illiteracy  in  two  im- 
portant classes  of  the  population,  namely,  children 
from  10  to  14  years  of  age  and  males  21  years  of  age 
and  over.

Of  the  persons  attending  school,  90.4  per  cent  were 
wlutes  and  9.3  per  cent  were  negroes,  the  native  wliites 
constituting  86.8  per  cent  of  the  total.  The  distri- 
bution of  the  white  persons  attending  school  among 
the  different  nativity  and  parentage  groups  differs 
considerably  from  the  corresponding  distribution  of 
the  population  at  large.  This  difference,  however,  is 
not  primarily  attributable  to  divergent  tendencies 
with  regard  to  school  attendance  among  these  elements 
of  the  population,  but  results  largel}^  from  differences 
between  the  nativity  and  parentage  distribution  of  the 
adult  white  population  and  that  of  the  white  popu- 
lation of  the  usual  school  ages.

A slight  excess  of  males  appears  among  the  per- 
sons attending  school,  there  being  100.7  males  to  each 
100  females.  Tliis  excess  of  males  is  found  m all  of 
the  groups  given  in  the  table,  except  in  the  ciise  of  the 
negroes,  where  the  females  considerably  outnumbered 
the  males.  For  the  persons  6 to  20  years  of  age 
attending  school  the  excess  of  males  was  somewhat 
less  than  among  all  persons  attending  school.  This 
excess  corres})onded  approximately  for  most  of  the 
groups  to  the  excess  of  males  in  the  total  po])ulation 
6 to  20  years  of  age. 

Persons  attending  school,  classified  by  age  groups. — 

Table  3 shows  the  age  distribution,  by  color  or  race, 
nativity,  and  parentage  groups,  of  persons  who  were 
reported  as  attending  school. 


The  great  majority  of  persons  attending  school  are 
between  the  ages  of  G and  20  years,  inclusive,  which 
correspond  precisely  to  the  limits  of  school  age  as  de- 
fined by  the  laws  of  many  states,  and  approximately 
to  the  limits  established  in  most  other  states.  Of  the 
total  number  of  persons  attending  school  in  1909-10, 
17,300,204,  or  96.1  per  cent,  were  between  6 and  20 
yeai-s  of  age,  inclusive,  while  only  2.2  per  cent  were 
under  6 and  only  1.7  per  cent  were  over  21.  The 
group  6 to  9 years  of  age  included  31.5  per  cent  of 
all  persons  attending  school;  the  group  from  10  to 

14  years  included  44.6  ])er  cent;  and  the  group  from 

15  to  20  years  included  20  per  cent.  It  may  be  noted 
that  the  age  periods  indicated  are  not  of  equal  length, 
the  first  including  four  years;  the  second,  five;  and 
the  third,  six. 

In  this  and  other  tables  percentages  are  given  for 
the  age  groups  15  to  17  years  and  18  to  ’20  years, 
but  for  economy  of  space  the  absolute  figures  on 
which  percentages  are  based  have  been  omitted  from 
some  of  the  other  tables. 

The  age  distribution  of  the  persons  attending  school 
does  not  vary  greatly  among  the  principal  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage  groups  shoum  in  Table  3.  Among  ihe 
native  whites  of  native  parentage  the  jjercentage  who 
were  from  15  to  20  years  of  age  was  noticeably  larger 
than  among  the  foreign-born  whites  or  the  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  j)arentage.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  proportion  of  the  foreign-born  whites  who 
were  over  20  yearn  of  age  was  much  higher  than  the 
corresponding  proportion  among  the  native  white 
classes.

Percentage  attending  school,  by  age  groups. — Some 
of  the  most  significant  information  to  be  derived  from 
statistics  of  school  attendance  is  obtained  by  compar- 
ing the  number  of  jiersons  of  a given  group  attending 
school  with  the  total  number  of  persons  in  that  gixmp, 
and  thus  showing  the  proportion  of  school  attendance. 
Inasmuch  as  school  attendance  is  not  customary  among 
persons  under  6 or  over  20  years  of  age,  comparisons 
of  this  character  arc  in  general  best  confined  to  persons 
from  6 to  20  years  of  age. 


Table  4 shows,  by  age  groups,  for  the  United  States 
as  a whole,  the  proport  ion  of  the  entire  population  who 
attended  school  in  1909-10. 

Persons  rcjiorted  as  attending  school  constituted 
19.6  per  cent  of  the  total  ])o])ulatiou  of  the  country. 
For  Jiersons  under  6 years  of  age  the  jirojiortion  at- 
tending school  was  only  3.1  jier  cent,  and  for  jiei’sons 
of  21  and  over  only  0.6  jier  cent.  'Phe  total  number 
of  Jiersons  between  the  ages  of  6 and  20  years,  in- 
i elusive,  in  1910  was  27,750,599,  of  which  number

School  attendance  is  much  more  common  between 
the  ages  of  6 and  14  years  than  during  the  later  ^mars 


of  youth.  It  is  most  common  between  the  ages  of  8 
and  13,  inclusive,  (compulsory  school  attendance 
laws,  which  in  1910  existed  in  all  but  7 of  the  states  of 
the  Union,  seldom  require  attendance  beyond  the  age 
of  14,  and  many  children  after  reaching  that  age 
drop  out  of  school.  School  attendance  is  never  re- 
quired by  law  before  the  age  of  7 years  and  in  the  ma- 
jority of  states  not  before  8 years,  although  a con- 
siderable proportion  of  children  of  6 and  a still  larger 
proportion  of  those  of  7 usually  attend  school,  es- 
pecially in  cities.  Hence  the  proportion  of  school 
attendance  for  the  group  10  to  14  years  (88.2  percent) 
was  considerably  higher  than  that  for  the  age  group  6 
to  9 years  (73.5  per  cent),  and  very  much  higher  than 
that  for  the  age  group  15  to  20  years  (32.9  per  cent).

For  the  entire  grouj)  comprismg  jiersons  from  6 to  20 
years  of  age,  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage 
showed  a higher  percentage  of  pei’sons  attending 
school  (66.9)  than  any  other  class  of  the  population, 
though  not  very  much  liigher  than  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage.  The  percentages  shown 
by  the  foreign-born  wliites  (39.2)  and  by  the  negroes 
(47.3)  were  much  lower.  Marked  difl’erences  appear 
in  some  of  the  minor  age  groups.  For  children  from  6 
to  9 years  of  age  the  highest  percentage  of  school  attend- 
ance was  among  the  native  wliites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage ; and  even  for  the  foreign-born  wliites  the  per- 
centage was  liigher  than  for  the  native  wliites  of  native 
parentage.  These  elements  of  the  foreign  stock  live 
more  largely  in  urban  communities,  where  the  pro- 
portion of  young  children  attending  school  is  rela- 
tively liigh,  than  do  the  native  whites  of  purely  native 
parentage.  For  children  from  10  to  14  years  of  age

also  the  liigJiest  percentage  attending  school  was  found 
among  the  native  wliites  of  foreign  or  mixed  j)arent- 
age.  On  the  otlier  hand,  hi  the  grouf)  from  15  to 
20  years  of  age  the  jiropoi’tion  of  scliool  attendance 
was  much  liigher  among  native  wliites  of  native  pa- 
rentage than  among  native  wliites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
jiarentage,  while  for  the  latter  in  turn  it  was  very 
much  higher  than  for  the  foreign-born  whites.  The 
low  ])ro])ortion  of  foreign-born  whites  from  15  to  20 
years  of  age  attending  school  results  in  part  from  the 
fact  that  very  many  children  leave  school  as  soon  as 
the  law  permits,  and  in  jiart  from  the  fact  that  immi- 
gration swells  the  number  of  persons  in  this  age  group, 
bringing  in  large  numbers  who  are  beyond  the  age 
limits  of  compulsory  school  attendance,  and  who  for  this 
reason  never  attend  school  in  the  United  States.  In 
all  of  the  age  groups  the  percentage  of  school  attend- 
ance among  the  negroes  was  materially  lower  than 
among  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage.

In  general  there  was  comparatively  little  difference 
between  the  two  sexes  in  the  percentage  of  school 
attendance.  For  the  total  iiopulation  from  6 to  20 
years  of  age  the  percentage  of  males  atteiidmg  school 
was  62.2  and  of  females  62.5,  but  in  both  of  the 
native  wliite  groups,  which  are  the  largest  groups,  the 
projiortion  for  males  was  slightly  higher  than  that 
for  females,  tliis  difference  being  somewhat  more  than 
offset  in  the  total  by  the  higher  proportion  for  females 
among  the  foreign-born  whites  ami  among  the  negroes. 

The  differences  in  the  percentages  for  males  and 
females  in  the  entire  group  from  6 to  20  years  of  age 
are  partly  due  to  differences  in  the  age  distribution  of 
the  two  sexes.  Thus,  in  the  case  of  native  whites  of 
native  parentage,  the  jiercentage  of  school  attendance 
in  1909-10  was  slightly  lower  among  the  males  from 
6 to  9 years  of  age  and  among  those  from  10  to  14  than 
among  females  in  these  two  age  groups;  but  notwith- 
standing tins  fact  the  jirojiortion  for  the  whole  group 
of  persons  of  school  age — from  6 to  20  years,  inclu- 
sive— was  higher  for  males  than  for  females. 


Percentage  attending  school  in  the  urban  and  rural 
population. — There  are  somewhat  important  differ- 
ences between  urban  communities  and  rural  districts 
with  respect  to  school  attendance.  Table  8 shows  the 
distribution,  by  age  groujis,  of  the  persons  in  the  urban 
and  in  the  rural  population,  respectively,  who  were 
reported  as  having  attended  school  in  1909-10.  The 
Bureau  of  the  Census  classifies  as  urban  population 
that  residing  in  cities  and  other  incorporated  places 
of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more,  including  New  England 
towns  of  that  population.

In  general  the  persons  attending  school  in  cities

For  the  entire  group,  comjirising  persons  from  6 to 
20  years  of  age,  the  proportion  attending  school  in 
1909-10  was  shghtly  higher  in  rural  districts  than  in 
urban  communities  (62.9  per  cent  as  enmpared  with 
61.6  })er  cent).  This,  however,  is  due  entirely  to  the 
fact  that  for  the  older  children,  from  15  to  20  years  of 
age,  the  percentage  attending  school  in  the  rural  dis- 
tricts was  much  the  higher.  For  children  from  6 to 
9 years  of  age  the  jiercentage  was  much  higher,  and 
for  those  from  10  to  14  considerably  higher,  in  the 
urban  than  in  the  rural  population.  'Plie  distance  of 
the  schools  from  the  homes  often  precludes  the  attend- 
ance of  young  children  in  rural  districts,  while,  on  the 
other  hand,  school  attendance  for  at  least  a part  of 
the  year  conflicts  less  with  the  industrial  actiTty  of 
the  older  children  in  rural  than  in  urban  communities. 

For  the  entire  grouj)  of  persons  from  6 to  2(1  years 
of  age,  inclusive,  the  proportion  of  school  attendance 
was  slightly  higher  among  males  than  among  females

in  urban  communities,  but  sliglitly  the  higher  among 
females  in  the  rural  districts.

For  all  persons  of  school  age  the  proportion  of  school 
attendance  among  native  whites  both  of  native 
parentage  and  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  was 
somewhat  higher  in  rural  districts  than  in  urban  com- 
munities, but  among  the  foreign-born  whites  and  the 
negroes  the  percentage  was  materially  higher  in  the 
urban  communities. 

DIVISIONS  AND  STATES:  1909-10. 

Number  and  percentage  attending  school,  by  age 
groups. — Table  11,  on  page  224,  shows  by  divisions 
and  states  the  number  of  persons  attending  school 
distributed  by  age  groups,  together  with  the  total 
population  in  the  principal  age  groups. 

Comparing  the  geographic  divisions,  it  appears  that 
for  the  entire  group  of  persons  6 to  20  years  of  age  the 
proportion  attending  school  was  lowest  in  the  South 
Atlantic  division,  where  56.7  per  cent  attended  school 
in  1909-10,  and  highest  in  the  West  North  Central 
division,  where  67.9  per  cent  attended  school.  In  the 
group  from  6 to  9 years  of  age  the  variation  among 
the  divisions  was  more  marked,  the  proportion  ranging 
from  56.9  per  cent  in  the  West  South  Central  division 
to  89.3  per  cent  in  the  New  England  division.  In 
each  of  the  four  northern  divisions  more  than  four- 
fifths  of  the  children  of  this  age  attended  school,  in 
each  of  the  threo  southern  divisions  about  three-fifths, 
and  in  the  two  western  divisions  about  three-fourths. 
In  the  age  group  showing  the  maximum  school 
attendance — that  comprising  children  from  10  to  14 


years  of  age — the  proportion  attending  school  was,  in 
the  three  southern  divisions,  about  four-fifths,  and  in 
tlie  northern  and  western  divisions  over  nine- tenths, 
with  a maximum  of  94.1  per  cent  in  the  New  England 
and  Pacific  divisions.  Among  persons  from  15  to  20 
years  of  age  the  proportion  attending  school  was 
lowest  (26.2  per  cent)  in  the  Mddle  Atlantic  division. 
In  the  New  England  and  East  North  Central  divisions 
also  less  than  one-third  of  the  persons  of  these  ages 
were  reported  as  attending  school,  but  in  aU  other 
divisions  of  the  country  the  proportion  was  more  than 
one-third,  the  maximum  (40.5  per  cent)  being  in  the 
Mountain  division. 

Persons  6 to  20  years  of  age  attending  school. — Table 
12,  page  225,  shows  the  total  number  of  males  and  of 
females  from  6 to  20  years  of  age,  with  the  number  and 
percentage  attending  school,  by  divisions  and  states. 

The  United  States  as  a whole  and  aU  but  two  of  the 
divisions  show  a slightly  larger  proportion  of  girls 
than  of  boys  attending  school.  The  exceptions  are 
the  Middle  Atlantic  and  East  North  Central  divisions, 
where  the  proportion  of  boys  attending  school  was 
slightly  larger  than  that  of  girls. 

The  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  distribu- 
tion of  the  population  from  6 to  20  years  of  age,  with 
the  number  and  percentage  reported  as  attending 
school  in  1909-10,  is  shown  by  divisions  and  states  in 
Table  13,  page  227. 

In  every  division  the  proportion  of  persons  attend- 
ing school  was  higher  among  the  native  whites  of 
native  parentage  than  in  any  other  group,  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  negroes,  and 
foreign-born  wliites  following  in  the  order  named. 

The  variation  among  the  divisions  in  the  proportion 
of  the  native  wliites  of  native  parentage  from  6 to  20 
years  of  age  attending  school  was  comparatively 
slight;  the  maximum  proportion  (72.2  per  cent)  was 
in  the  New  England  division,  and  the  minimum  (62.8 
per  cent)  in  the  South  Atlantic  division.  The  maxi- 
mum proportion  for  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage  (69.3  per  cent)  was  in  the  New 
England  division,  and  the  minimum  (51.8  per  cent) 
in  the  West  South  Central  division;  the  next  higher  per- 
centage, however,  was  decidedly  above  the  minimum. 
The  range  of  variation  for  the  foreign-born  wliites  and 
the  negroes  was  also  very  considerable.  Moreover,  it 
may  be  noted  that  the  divergence  between  the  pro- 
portion of  negroes  attending  school  and  that  of  na- 
tive whites  of  native  parentage  attending  school  is 
most  marked  where  the  negroes  are  most  numerous — 
in  the  three  southern  divisions.

Children  6 to  14  years  of  age  attending  school. — 

Between  the  ages  of  6 and  20  years  there  are,  as 
already  noted,  several  years  of  age  when  school  atten- 
dance is  the  exception  rather  than  the  rule,  and  when 
it  is  wholly  voluntary.  For  children  from  8 to  13  years 
of  age,  however,  school  attendance  is  in  most  sec- 
tions of  the  country  obligatory,  and  in  many  sections 
the  age  of  7 years  is  likewise  covered  by  the  compulsory 
school  attendance  laws.  The  proportion  of  school 
attendance  is  also  high  among  children  6 years  of 
age,  so  that  for  some  purposes  figures  relating  to  the 
group  comprising  children  from  6 to  14  years  of  age, 
inclusive,  are  of  special  value.  Such  figures  are 
given,  by  divisions  and  states,  in  Table  14,  page  228. 

More  than  four-fifths  (81.4  per  cent)  of  all  the  chil- 
dren from  6 to  14  years  of  age  attended  school  be- 
tween September  1,  1909,  and  April  15,  1910.  Of  the 
remainder  (18.6  per  cent),  the  greater  number  con- 
sisted of  6 and  7 year  old  children  who  had  not  yet 
begun  their  schoolmg,  and  of  14  year  old  children  who 
had  completed  their  schooling. 

Considering  the  different  classes  of  the  population, 
it  is  clear  at  a glance  that  the  proportion  of  the  chil- 
dren from  6 to  14  years  of  age  attendmg  school  was 
greater  for  the  whites  than  for  the  negroes.  With 
respect  to  the  whites  it  may  be  noted  that  for  chil- 
72497°— 13 15 


dren  in  this  age  group  the  maximum  attendance  was 
among  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage, 
and  the  next  highest  among  the  native  whites  of  na- 
tive parentage.  The  proportion  of  foreign-born  whites 
attendmg  school  was  in  every  division  the  smallest 
shown  by  any  of  the  white  elements.  In  four  divi- 
sions, namely,  the  New  England,  Middle  Atlantic,  East 
North  Central,  and  West  South  Central,  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  had  the  largest  proportion 
of  cluldren  from  6 to  14  years  of  age  attending  school, 
while  in  the  remaining  five  divisions  the  largest  pro- 
portion was  among  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage. 

For  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  the  pro- 
portion of  children  from  6 to  14  years  of  age  attending 
school  varied  from  about  three-fourths  in  the  two 
South  Central  divisions  to  over  nine-tenths  in  the 
New  England  division.  For  the  native  whites  of  for- 
eign or  mixed  parentage  the  range  of  variation  was 
somewhat  less  for  eight  of  the  nine  divisions.  Unusual 
conditions  appear  to  have  prevailed  in  the  West  South 
Central  division  with  respect  to  the  school  attendance 
of  white  children  of  native  birth  and  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage,  since  in  that  division  less  than  two-tliirds 
of  such  cluldren  were  reported  as  attending  school. 
The  figures  for  the  country  as  a whole  show  compara-

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


lively  little  difference  between  the  proportion  of  chil- 
dren from  6 to  14  years  of  age  attending  school  among 
the  foreign-horn  whites  and  among  the  native  whites 
of  native  parentage,  though  for  each  division  taken 
separately  Ihe  ])crcentage  for  the  foreign-born  whites 
was  considerably  less.  Here  again  the  West  South 
Central  division  occu])ies  an  exceptional  position,  inas- 
much as  it  shows  less  than  one-half  of  the  foreign-born 
white  children  from  6 to  14  years  of  age  attending 
school. 

Except  in  the  Pacific  division,  where  the  number  of 
negroes  is  relatively  small,  the  proportion  of  negro 
children  attending  school  was  less  than  that  of  white 
children.  In  the  three  southern  divisions,  which  con- 
tain so  great  a majority  of  the  negroes  that  they  prac- 
tically determme  the  average  for  the  United  States  as 
a whole,  less  than  three-fifths  of  the  negro  children 
from  6 to  14  years  of  age  were  reported  as  attending 
school,  but  the  average  for  the  other  six  divisions 
was  somewhat  over  five-sixths. 


Persons  attending  school  in  the  urban  and  rural  popu- 
lation.— School  attendance  figures  for  the  urban  and 
rural  population,  classified  according  to  age,  sex,  and 
color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage,  are  shown  for 
1909-10,  by  divisions,  in  Table  15,  pages  229  and  230. 

In  the  country  as  a whole,  and  in  every  division 
except  two  (the  West  South  Central  and  Mountain 
divisions),  the  proportion  of  the  whole  number  of  per- 
sons from  6 to  20  years  of  age,  inclusive,  who  were 
reported  as  attendmg  school  was  greater  in  rural  dis- 
tricts than  in  urban  communities.  In  every  division 
the  proportion  attending  school  among  children  from 
6 to  9 years  of  age  was  larger  in  the  urban  popu- 
lation than  in  the  rural,  but  in  every  division  the 
proportion  among  persons  from  15  to  20  years  of  age 
was  larger  in  the  rural  population.  For  the  interven- 
ing age  group — 10  to  14  years — the  proportion  was 
the  larger  in  urban  communities  for  the  country  as  a 
whole,  for  the  three  southern  divisions,  and  for  the 
Mountain  division,  and  in  rural  districts  for  the  four 
northern  divisions  and  the  Pacific  division.

SCHOOL  ATTENDANCE 


231 


PRINCIPAL  CITIES;  1909-10. 

Statistics  of  school  attendance  in  cities  having 
100,000  inhabitants  or  more  in  1910  are  given  in  Ta- 
bles 16  and  17.  Table  16  relates  to  the  population  6 to 
20  years  of  ago  and  gives  details  by  color  or  race,  na- 
tivity, and  parentage.  A similar  statement  for  cities 
having  from  25,000  to  100,000  inhabitants  is  given  in 
Table  18,  pages  233  to  235.  By  reason  of  the  peculiar 
interest  which  attaches  to  the  population  from  6 to  14 
years  of  age — the  ages  of  customary  school  attend- 
ance— statistics  for  this  group  are  presented  for  the 
larger  cities  in  Table  17,  page  232. 


In  the  larger  cities  the  ])roportion  of  persons  from 
6 to  20  years  of  age  attending  school  in  1909-10 
ranged  from  51  per.  cent  in  Richmond  to  69.8  ])er 
cent  in  Cambridge.  High  percentages  of  school 
attendance  (65  or  over)  are  shown  for  Boston,  Cam- 
bridge, Denver,  Los  Angeles,  New  Haven,  Oakland, 
and  Worcester,  and  comparatively  low  percentages 
(under  55)  for  Atlanta,  Baltimore,  Birmingham, 
Memphis,  New  Orleans,  and  Richmond.  The  fact 
that  cities  with  a small  percentage  of  school  attend- 
ance are  found  almost  entirely  in  the  South  is  largely, 
but  not  wholly,  explained  In’"  the  large  negro  popula- 
tion in  southern  cities.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


COMPARATIVE  SUMMARY:  1910  AND  1900. 

Ill  coinparing  Iho  results  of  the  oeusiis  of  1910  witli 
tJiose  of  tlie  preeediug  census,  two  considerations  must 
be  borne  in  mind.  In  the  first  place  the  principal  tabu- 
lations of  the  census  of  1900  relate  to  persons  from  5 to 
20  years  of  age,  while  those  of  1910  relate  to  persons 
from  6 to  20  years  of  age.  This  renders  it  impossible 
to  carry  the  comparison  between  the  two  censuses  into 
all  the  various  details  which  have  been  exliibited  in 
connection  witli  the  figures  for  1910.  In  order,  how- 
ever, to  permit  a general  comparison  of  the  statistics 
of  tiie  two  censuses,  certain  special  tabulations  have 
been  made  for  1910  with  the  same  age  groups  as  in 
1900. 

A further  distinction  between  the  census  of  1910  and 
that  of  1900  lies  in  the  form  in  which  the  question  was 
asked.  In  1910  the  question  was  whether  the  person 
enumerated  had  attended  school  at  any  time  between 
September  1,  1909,  and  the  date  of  enumeration,  April 
15,  1910.  In  1900  the  question  was  asked  as  to  how 
many  months  the  person  enumerated  had  attended 
school  during  the  year  prior  to  the  date  of  enumeration, 
June  1,  1900.  The  whole  number  of  persons  for  whom 
the  length  of  school  attendance  was  reported  was 
taken  to  be  the  aggregate  number  attending  school. 
It  is  possible  that  the  greater  complexity  of  the  ques- 
tion led  to  less  complete  returns  at  the  earlier  census, 
in  which  case  the  increased  proportion  of  persons  re- 
ported as  attending  school  for  1910,  as  compared  with 
1900,  would  be  due  in  part  to  greater  accuracy  in 
the  returns. 

United  States  as  a whole. — Table  19  gives  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole  comparative  figures  for  1910 
and  1900  for  each  of  the  main  population  groups,  with 
distinction  of  sex. 

In  every  group  of  the  population  given  in  the  table 
without  exception  the  proportion  reported  as  attend- 
ing school  was  greater,  in  1910  than  in  1900.  Of  the 


total  population  from  5 to  20  years  of  age,  59.2  per 
cent  were  reported  at  the  later  census  as  attending 
school,  as  against  50.5  per  cent  at  the  earlier  census. 
Among  tlie  three  sidjordinate  age  groups  which  appear 
in  Table  19  the  group  5 to  9 years  shows  the  great- 
est difference  between  the  proportions  reported  at 
the  two  censuses,  and  the  group  15  to  20  years  shows 
the  smallest  difference.  Among  the  important  racial 
classes  the  negroes  show  the  largest  gain  during  the 
decade  in  the  pi’oportion  attending  school.  The  per- 
centages for  the  Chinese  and  Japanese  also  were  much 
higher  in  1910  than  in  1900,  but  of  course  these  races 
have  very  few  representatives  between  the  ages  of  5 
and  20  years. 

Divisions  and  states. — Comparative  figures  for  school 
attendance  as  reported  at  the  censuses  of  1910  and 
1900  for  the  total  population  from,  5 to  20  years  of  age, 
with  percentages  for  the  minor  age  groups,  are  given^ 
by  divisions  and  states,  in  Table  20,  page  238. 

In  every  division  and  state  and  for  each  of  the  age 
groups,  except  for  the  age  group  15  to  20  years  in 
Nevada,  the  percentage  of  children  reported  as  attend- 
ing school  was  greater  in  1910  than  in  1900.  Moreover, 
in  nearly  every  case  the  greatest  gain  appears  to  be  in 
the  proportion  for  the  age  group  5 to  9 years.  The 
gains  in  the  percentages  shown  for  the  total  population 
from  5 to  20  years  of  age,  and  especially  for  the  age 
group  from  5 to  9 years,  are  particularly  noticeable  in 
the  three  southern  divisions,  and  point  at  the  same  time 
to  increased  school  accommodations  and  to  a growing 
habit  of  sending  children  to  school  at  an  earher  age.  It 
may  be  noted  specifically  that  in  West  Virginia  and  the 
District  of  Columbia  alone  in  the  southern  divisions 
was  the  proportion  of  the  population  from  5 to  20 
years  of  age  reported  as  attending  school  in  1900  as 
much  as  one-half.  In  1910,  on  the  other  hand,  there 
were  only  five  southern  states  in  which  the  proportion 
was  less  than  oncJialf.

ILLITERACY. 


239 


UNITED  STATES  AS  A WHOLE. 

The  population  schedule  for  the  census  of  1910  con- 
tained two  inquiries  relating  to  illiteracy,  namely,  as 
to  whether  the  person  enumerated  was  able  to  read 
and  as  to  whether  he  or  she  was  able  to  write.  An- 
swers to  these  questions  were  required  only  in  the 
case  of  persons  10  years  of  age  and  over.  Tlie  sta- 
tistics, unless  otherwise  more  particularly  limited, 
relate  to  this  class  of  the  population.  The  Bureau  of 
the  Census  classifies  as  illiterate  any  person  10  years 
of  age  or  over  who  is  unable  to  wi’ite,  regardless  of 
ability  to  read.  A considerable  number  of  persons 
were  reported  as  able  to  read,  though  not  able  to 
wi’ite,  but  the  statistics  in  regard  to  this  class  have 
not  seemed  of  sufficient  significance  to  call  for  a sepa- 
rate presentation  in  a summary  of  illiteracy  statistics. 

Number  of  illiterates. — The  whole  number  of  persons 
10  years  of  age  and  over  enumerated  at  the  census  of 
1910  who  were  reported  as  unable  to  write  was  5,5 16, 163. 
The  distribution  of  this  number  by  color  or  race,  nativ- 
ity, and  parentage,  together  with  corresponding  figures 
for  the  three  previous  censuses,  is  given  in  Table  21.

I Exclusive  of  illiterate  persons  in  Indian  Territory  and  on  Indian  reservations, 
areas  specially  enumerated  in  1890,  but  for  which  illiteracy  stetistics  are  not 
available.  2 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


The  whites,  who  in  1910  constituted  89.3  per  cent 
of  the  total  population  10  years  of  age  and  over,  con- 
tributed 57.7  per  cent  of  the  illiterates,  while  the 
negroes,  constituting  10.2  per  cent  of  the  total  popu- 
lation 10  years  of  age  and  over,  contributed  40.4  per 
cent  of  the  illiterates.  Among  the  remaining  classes — 
the  Indians,  Chinese,  Japanese,  and  all  others — the 
total  number  of  illiterates  was  103,799,  or  1.9  per  cent 
of  all  illiterates  reported. 

The  number  of  illiterates  reported  in  1910  was  con- 
siderably less  than  the  number  reported  at  any  of  the 
three  preceding  censuses  covered  by  Table  21.  Despite 
the  fact  of  continuous  growth  in  the  population  of  the 
country,  there  was  comparatively  little  difference  in 
the  number  of  illiterates  reported  at  the  censuses  of 
1880,  1890,  and  1900,  the  largest  number  being  re- 
ported in  1890.  From  1890  to  1910  the  number  of 
illiterate  whites  gradually  decreased,  wliile  the  number 


of  illiterate  native  whites  has  shown  a decrease  at 
each  succeedmg  census  since  1880,  tlie  decrease 
being  most  marked  between  1900  and  1910.  On 
the  otlier  hand,  tlie  number  of  illiterate  foreign- 
born  whites  steadily  increased,  rising  from  763,620  in 
1880  to  1,650,361  in  1910.  The  number  of  illiterates 
among  the  negroes  was  decidedly  smaller  in  1910  tlian 
in  1890,  the  first  census  year  at  which  illiterate  negroes 
were  clearly  distinguished  from  all  other  classes  of  the 
population. 

Percentage  of  illiteracy. — The  significance  of  the 
figures  relating  to  illiteracy  can  best  be  seen  by  a com- 
parison of  the  number  of  illiterates  with  the  corre- 
sponding total  population.  Table  22  shows  the  total 
population  10  years  of  age  and  over,  and  the  number 
and  percentage  illiterate,  by  color  or  race,  nativity, 
and  parentage.

Of  the  entire  population  10  years  of  age  and  over 
in  1910,  7.7  per  cent  were  illiterate.  Of  the  whites 
5 per  cent  were  illiterate  and  of  the  negroes  30.4  per 
cent.  Among  the  foreign-born  whites  12.7  per  cent 
were  illiterate  as  compared  with  3 per  cent  among  the 
native  whites.  The  lowest  percentage  of  illiteracy, 
1.1,  was  among  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage,  while  among  the  native  whites  of  native 
parentage  the  percentage  was  3.7.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


'I'lio  i)ercenta"c  of  illiteracy  for  the  j)Oj)ulatiou  as  a 
whole  declined  from  17  in  1880  to  7.7  in  1910.  With 
the  exce])tion  of  the  foreign-born  whites,  each  class  of 
the  poj)nlation  shared  in  this  decline,  which  was 
gradual  and  nninterruj)ted  from  census  to  census.  In 
the  native  white  grou[)  the  j)ercentage  of  illiteracy  in 
1910  was  less  than  one-half  as  high  as  in  1880,  and 
the  same  is  evidently  true  of  the  negroes,  who  con- 
stituted much  the  larger  ])art  of  the  total  non- 
white population  for  which  the  percentage  is  shown 
for  1880.  The  percentage  of  illiteracy  among  the 
foreign-horn  whites  increased  somewhat  between  1880 
and  1890,  but  decreased  slightly  during  the  following 
decades. 

Illiteracy  by  sex. — Table  24  gives  ior  1910  a state- 
ment of  illiteracy  by  sex  and  l)y  color  or  race,  nativ- 
ity, and  parentage*.

In  the  total  population  10  years  of  age  and  over  the 
percentage  of  illiteracy  for  females  was  slightly  higher 
than  that  for  males.  The  percentage  for  females  was 
greater  than  that  for  males  among  the  negroes, 
Indians,  Chmese,  and  Japanese,  the  difference  bemg 
especially  marked  in  the  case  of  the  last  three  classes 
named.  Among  the  whites  the  percentage  of  illit- 
eracy was  slightly  greater  for  males  than  for  females. 
Figures  for  the  component  elements  of  the  white 
group  show,  however,  that  among  the  native  born, 
whether  of  native  or  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage, 
illiteracy  was  less  frequent  among  females,  while 
among  the  foreign  born  the  contrary  was  the  case. 

Illiteracy  by  age  periods. — Table  27  on  the  next 
page  shows  the  total  population  hi  the  various  age 
groups,  with  the  number  and  percentage  illiterate, 
classified  by  sex  and  by  color  or  race,  nativity,  and 
parentage.  Table  25  reproduces  the  more  hnportant 
percentages  shown  in  Table  27. 

Wliile  for  the  entire  jiopulatioii  10  years  of  age  and 
over  the  percentage  of  illiteracy  was  7.7,  it  will  be 
noted  that  in  the  age  group  10  to  14  years  only  4.1  per 
cent  were  hhterate.  Each  succeeding  age  group  shows 


a greater  proportion  of  illiterates,  but  not  until  the 
age  group  35  to  44  years  is  reached  does  the  percentage 
of  illiteracy  for  a single  group  become  as  large  as  the 
average  for  all  ages;  hi  the  final  age  group,  65  yearn 
and  over,  however,  the  proportion  of  illiteracy  was 
almost  double  the  average  for  the  total  population  10 
years  of  age  and  over.  These  figures  reflect  in  part 
the  educational  conditions  under  which  successive  gen- 
erations have  grown  up.  A particular  hiterest  attaches 
to  the  figures  for  the  younger  groups,  inasmuch  as  they 
hidicate  in  some  degree  the  efficiency  of  our  present 
educational  system.  As  hi  the  population  as  a whole, 
so  in  each  of  its  main  classes  except  the  foreign-born 
whites,  the  proportion  of  iUiteracy  is  larger  in  each 
succeeding  age  group.  The  maximum  percentage  of 
ilhteracy  for  the  foreign-born  whites,  15.3,  is  shown 
for  the  age  group  20  to  24  years,  but  in  each  succeed- 
ing age  group  except  the  last — 65  years  and  over — 
the  proportion  of  illiterates  for  this  class  was  smaller 
than  in  the  precedmg  gi’oup.  The  fact  that  immigra- 
tion in  recent  years  has  been  drawn  more  largely  than 
formerly  fi'om  countries  with  a high  degree  of  illiter- 
acy probably  accounts  for  this  condition.

Wliile  in  the  whole  urban  j)0})ulation  10  years  of 
age  and  over  in  1910,  5.1  per  cent  were  illiterate,  in 
the  rural  population  the  percentage  Avas  10.1,  or 
almost  double.  The  contrast  between  urban  and 
rural  illiteracy  is  bj^  far  the  greatest  in  the  case 
of  the  native  whites  of  native  parentage,  of  whom 
less  than  1 per  cent  were  illiterate  in  urban  communi- 
ties and  over  5 per  cent  in  rural  districts.  There  was 
also  a much  higher  percentage  of  illiterac}^  among  the 
negroes  in  rural  districts  than  m urban  communities. 

The  differences  here  observed  between  the  per- 
centages of  illiteracy  in  the  urban  and  the  rural 
population  explain  in  part  the  «lifferences  in  the  j>ro- 
portion  of  illiteracy  among  the  different  classes  of 
the  ])opulation  as  a whole.  Because  of  the  high 
proportion  of  the  native  whites  of  natiA^e  parentag(5 
and  of  the  negroes  living  in  rural  districts,  the  per- 
centage of  illiteracy  for  each  of  these  two  classes  as  a 
whole  approaches  the  perccTitage  indicated  for  that 
portion  of  the  class  liAAing  in  the  rural  districts.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  native  Avhites  of  foreign  or  of 
mixed  parentage  are  largely  city  dwellers,  and  their 
general  percentage  apjAroaches  the  urban  percentage 
more  closely  than  the  rui’al. 


It  may  be  noted  that  the  considerable  diA^ergence  be- 
tween the  native  Avhites  of  native  parentage  and  those 
of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  almost  disappears  Avhen 
the  figures  for  the  two  classes  are  compared  for  urban 
communities.  Further  light  uj)on  the  differences 
among  the  A^arious  classes  can  be  gained  from  a study 
of  the  geograjAhic  distribution  of  illiteracy. 

DIVISIONS  AND  STATES. 

The  signilicance  of  the  number  of  illiterates  can  be 
seen  most  clearly  Avdien  a comparison  is  made  with  the 
aggregate  population  in  Avhich  the  illiterates  are  con- 
tained. It  has  seemed  advisable  in  some  cases,  how- 
ever, to  give  the  number  and  percentage  of  illiterates 
Avithout  the  aggregate  jAopulation  on  Avhich  the  per- 
centage is  based,  it  being  understood  that  the  figures 
representing  the  total  population  in  any  age  group  may 
be  found  in  Cha])ter  3,  relating  to  age.  The  impor- 
tance, however,  for  the  study  of  illiteracy,  of  the  pop- 
ulation 10  years  of  age  and  over  makes  it  desirable 
to  jAi’int  here  for  convenience  of  reference  the  sta- 
tistics of  this  population  classitied  according  to  sex 
and  color  or  race,  natiAuty,  and  ])arentage,for  divisions 
and  states  (Tal»le  29,  jAage  244).

Percentage  of  illiteracy. — Table  30  (page  247)  gives 
l)y  divisions  and  states  for  1910  and  1900  the 
number  and  percentage  illiterate,  -with  separate  fig- 
ures for  the  most  important  of  the  color  or  race, 
nativity,  and  parentage  classes.  Table  28  presents  in 
more  compact  form  the  percentages  alone  for  the 
divisions,  and  for  the  larger  sect  ions  of  the  country — 
the  North,  the  South,  and  the  West,  which  comprise 
respectively  the  first  four,  the  next  three,  and  the 
last  two  divisions.

In  the  total  population  1 0 years  of  age  and  over  the 
percentage  of  illiteracy  in  1910  was  practically  the 
same  in  the  North  and  the  West,  but  it  was  much 
greater  in  the  South.  The  division  showing  the  lowest 
proportion  of  illiterates  Avas  the  West  North  Central, 
where  only  2.9  per  cent  of  the  population  10  years  of 
age  and  over  were  reported  as  illiterate,  while  the  high- 
est proportion,  17.4,  was  reported  for  the  East  South 
Central  division.  In  the  North  the  percentage  of 
illiteracy  was  somewhat  higher  in  the  Middle  Atlantic 
and  New  England  divisions,  Avhere  the  foreign  born  are 
more  numerous,  than  in  the  two  central  divisions.  The 
percentage  of  illiteracy  was  decidedly  higher  in  the 
Mountain  division  than  in  the  Pacific,  but  it  should 
be  noted  that  this  higher  percentage  is  mainly  due  to  j 
exceptionally  high  percentages  in  two  states — New  j 
Mexico  and  Arizona.  i 

In  all  divisions  the  percentage  of  illiteracy  for  native 
whites  of  native  parentage  was  lower  than  that  for  the 
total  population.  The  lowest  percentage  of  illiteracy 
in  this  class  in  any  division  was  in  the  Pacific,  where 


only  0.4  ])er  cent  were  re])orted  as  illiterate,  and  the 
highest  percentage,  9.0,  in  the  East  South  Central. 
The  projiort  ion  of  illiterates  among  the  native  whites 
of  native  parentage  was  considerably  lower  in  New 
England  than  in  the  other  divisions  of  the  North. 

Among  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  par- 
entage the  percentage  of  illiteracy  was  very  small,  fall- 
ing below  2 in  all  divisions  except  the  West  South  Cen- 
tral. In  the  last-named  division  illiterates  formed  7.7 
per  cent  of  the  population  of  this  class  10  years  of  age 
and  over,  this  high  figure  being  mainly  due,  however, 
to  the  exceptionally  high  percentage  in  the  state  of 
Texas.  The  })roportion  of  illiterates  among  the  native 
whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage  was  less  than 
among  those  of  native  parentage  in  all  of  the  divisions 
except  the  West  South  Central,  New  England,  and 
Pacific. 

The  highest  percentage  of  illiteracy  among  the  for- 
eisrn-born  whites  was  in  the  West  South  Central  divi- 
sion  and  the  lowest  in  the  West  North  Central.  Of  the 
divisions  where  the  foreign-born  whites  are  numerous, 
the  Middle  Atlantic  shows  the  highest  percentage  of 
illiteracy  for  this  class  and  New  England  the  next 
highest.  The  percentage  of  illiteracy  among  the 
negroes  was  highest,  34.8,  in  the  East  South  Centred 
division.  In  the  South  as  a whole  in  1910  one-third 
of  the  negroes  were  illiterate.  In  the  North,  where 
the  negroes  are  comparatively  few,  the  percentage 
of  illiteracy  was  10.5,  and  in  the  West,  where  their 
numbers  are  insignificant,  the  percentage  of  illiteracy 
was  only  7. 

Comparing  the  figures  for  1910  and  1900,  it  will  be 
noted  that,  for  the  population  as  a whole  and  for  both 
native  white  groups  and  for  the  negroes,  the  percentage 
of  illiteracy  was  less  in  every  division  in  1910  than  in 
1900;  considerably  less,  except  for  the  population  as  a 
whole,  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  where  the  figures 
were  affected  by  a rather  large  increase  in  the  pro- 
portion of  foreign  born  in  the  total  population.  The 
decline  in  the  proportion  of  illiterates  among  the 
negroes  for  the  South  as  a whole,  from  nearly  one-half 
in  1900  to  one-third  in  1910,  is  particular^ conspicuous. 

The  percentages  of  illiterates  in  the  several  states 
among  the  different  population  classes  conform  in  the 
main  to  those  of  the  division  in  Avhich  the  state  is 
located.  The  figures  showing  the  number  and  per  cent 
of  illiterates  in  each  class  by  states  are  given  in  Table 
30,  page  245,  and  are  graphically  illustrated  by  the 
maps  on  pages  246  and  247.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION. 


Illiteracy  by  sex. — Table  31  shows  for  1910,  by 
divisions  and  states,  tlie  number  and  percentage  of 
illiterate  niiUes  and  females  10  years  of  age  and  over. 

As  already  noted,  the  })ercentagc  of  illiteracy  for 
females  in  the  United  States  as  a whole  was  slightly 
liigher  than  that  for  males.  In  the  New  England, 
East  North  Central,  East  South  Central,  and  Pacific 
divisions,  however,  (Ire  percentage  of  illiteracy  for 
females  was  slightly  less  than  that  for  males,  and  in  the 
West  North  Central  division  the  ])ercentages  for  the 
two  sexes  were  the  same. 

Illiteracy  in  the  urban  and  rural  population. — Table 
32,  on  page  249,  shows  by  divisions  for  1910  the  urban 
and  rural  population  10  years  of  age  and  over, 
classified  according  to  color  or  race,  nativity,  and 
I)arentage  groups  in  each  division  in  1910  as  urban  or 
rural,  giving  the  number  and  percentage  of  illiterates 
in  each  case. 

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  the  percentage  of 
illiteracy  for  the  total  population  and  for  each  class 
shown  in  the  table  was  considerably  higher  in  rural 
districts  than  in  urban  communities.  There  were 
three  diUsions,  however,  the  New  England,  the  Middle 


Atlantic,  and  the  East  North  Central,  in  wliich  the 
])ercentagc  of  illiteracy  was  the  greater  in  urban 
communities.  This  exception  to  the  general  rule  is 
explained  by  the  relatively  large  number  of  foreign- 
born  whites  living  in  the  cities  of  the  three  divisions 
named.  In  the  native  groups  shown,  winch  comprise 
the-  native  whites  of  native  and  of  foreign  or  mixed 
I)arentage  and  the  negroes,  the  proportion  of  illiterates 
was  greater  in  the  rural  parts  of  all  divisions  than  in 
the  urban  communities.  The  foreign-born  whites 
showed  in  general  a somewhat  higher  percentage  of 
illiteracy  in  rural  districts  than  in  urban  communities, 
but  an  exception  to  this  rule  appears  in  the  case  of  the 
two  North  Central  divisions.  There  is  a considerable 
foreign-born  white  element  in  the  rural  population  of 
these  divisions,  but  the  more  recent  growth  of  the 
foreign-born  population  has  been  in  the  cities,  and  the 
fact  that  recent  immigrants  appear  to  be  somewTat 
more  illiterate  than  the  earlier  ones  furnishes  an  ex- 
planation of  the  higher  percentage  of  illiteracy  among 
the  foreign-born  whites  in  the  urban  communities 
than  is  found  in  the  rural  districts  of  this  section  of 
the  country.

ILLITERACY. 


249 


Tlio  very  miicli  higher  percentage  of  illiteracy 
shown  for  the  native  whites  of  native  ])arcntage  in  the 
United  States  as  a whole  than  for  the  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  ])arentago  is  due  in  large  })art  to  the 
exceptionally  high  percentages  of  illiteracy  among  the 
native  whites  of  native  parentage  in  the  southern 
divisions,  where  this  nativity  class  makes  up  by  far 


the  greater  part  of  the  white  population.  These  excep- 
tionally high  percentages  for  the  southern  divisions 
are  in  turn  duo  principally  to  the  very  largo  i)roport  ion 
of  illiterates  in  the  rural  population  of  the  South,  in 
wliich  section  of  the  country  somewhat  more  than 
three-fourths  of  the  total  population  in  1910  resided 
in  rural  districts.

PRINCIPAL  CITIES. 

Table  33  gives  a statement  of  illiteracy  in  1910  and 
1900  by  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  for 
cities  having  a population  of  100,000  or  more.  Some- 
what less  detailed  statistics  for  cities  having  from 
25,000  to  100,000  inhabitants  are  given  in  Table  34. 

Among  the  50  cities  having  100,000  inhabitants  or 
more  in  1910,  there  were  four  in  which  the  proportion 
of  illiterates  in  the  total  population  10  years  of  age  and 
over  was  less  than  2 per  cent  (Seattle,  1.1  per  cent; 
Portland,  Oreg.,  1.2  per  cent;  Spokane,  1.3  per  cent; 
and  Los  Angeles,  1.9  per  cent),  and  10  others  in  which 
the  proportion  of  illiterates  in  the  total  population  was 
between  2 and  3 per  cent.  The  two  cities  having  the 
largest  percentage  of  illiteracy  were  Fall  River  (13.2), 
where  the  high  average  was  due  to  the  large  proportion 
of  the  foreign  born  in  the  population,  and  Birmingham 


(10.4),  where  the  high  average  was  due  to  the  large  pro- 
portion of  negroes.  The  differences  between  the  per- 
centages in  other  cities  were  likewise  due  in  large  part 
to  differences  in  the  proportions  of  foreign  born  or 
negroes;  among  the  native  whites  there  was  relatively 
little  variation  in  the  percentage  of  illiteracy,  which 
was  uniformly  very  low. 

In  general,  the  proportion  of  illiterates  in  the  total 
population  of  these  50  cities  was  less  in  1910  than 'in 
1900.  Eighteen  cities,  however — xRbany,  Bridgeport, 
Chicago,  Denver,  Detroit,  Jersey  City,  Minneapolis, 
New  Haven,  Oakland,  Omaha,  Paterson,  Philadelphia, 
Pittsburgh,  Providence,  Rochester,  Scranton,  Syra- 
cuse, and  Worcester — constituted  exceptions  to  this 
rule,  and  in  each  of  these  cities,  it  will  be  noted,  there 
was  a considerable  increase  in  the  number  of  illiterates 
of  foreign  birth.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPUI.ATION. 


ILLITERATE  CHILDREN  10  TO  14  YEARS  OF  AGE. 

United  States  as  a whole. — Tlie  e.\tent  of  illiteracy 
in  the  age  group  comprising  children  from  10  to  14 
years  old,  inclusive,  is  of  special  significance,  inas- 
much as  it  foreshadows  the  proportion  of  illiteracy 
that  may  ho  exjiected  for  the  whole  native  population 
in  the  future,  if  educational  conditions  remain  un- 
changed. Moreover,  a comparison  of  the  figures  for 
this  age  grouj)  as  reported  for  1910  and  for  1900  will 
indicate,  more  clearly  than  any  comparison  of  figures 
relating  to  the  population  as  a whole,  the  changes 
which  have  taken  place  during  the  decade  in  the 
cfliciency  of  the  country’s  educational  system.  Com- 
parative statistics  of  illiteracy  among  children  from 
10  to  14  years  of  age  for  1910  and  1900  are  given  in 
'fable  35.

The  percentage  of  illiteracy  for  children  from  10  to 
14  years  of  age  declined  from  7.1  in  1900  to  4.1  in  1910. 
The  greatest  relative  change  was  among  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage,  where  the  proportion  of 
illiterates  among  children  of  this  age  group  in  1910 
was  only  half  as  great  as  in  1900.  There  was  also  a 
noteworthy  tliminution  in  the  ]n'oportion  for  the 
foreign-born  whites.  Among  the  negroes  the  per- 
centage of  illiteracy  for  children  10  to  14  3'’ears  of  age 


was  still  very  high  in  1910,  being  18.9,  but  even  tliis 
figure  represented  a notable  reduction  as  comjiared 
with  the  ])ercentage  in  1900. 

Divisions  and  states. — 'fable  36  gives,  by  divisions, 
the  total  ])0})ulation  from  10  to  14  years  of  age,  with 
the  number  and  percentage  illiterate,  classified  accord- 
ing to  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage,  for  1910, 
and  the  ])ercentage  of  illiteracy  for  1900. 

In  each  of  the  four  northern  divisions  and  in  the 
Pacific  division  less  than  1 per  cent  of  the  children  in 
this  age  group  in  1910  were  illiterate,  the  minimum  per- 
centage, 0.3,  being  m the  East  North  Central  division. 
In  the  tliree  southern  divisions  taken  together  one- 
tenth  of  the  children  from  10  to  14  years  of  age 
were  unable  to  write.  In  the  Mountain  division 
the  percentage  of  illiteracy  for  this  age  group  was 
smaller  than  in  any  of  the  southern  divisions,  but 
considerably  larger  than  in  the  Pacific  division.  For 
native  whites,  both  of  native  and  of  foreign  or 
mixed  parentage,  the  percentage  of  illiterates  among 
children  from  10  to  14  years  of  age  was  very  small 
except  m the  South.  The  percentages  for  foreign-born 
whites  were  somewhat  higher  than  for  either  class  of 
the  native  whites  in  all  of  the  divisions,  and  conspicu- 
ously so  in  the  West  South  Central  division.  So  far 
as  the  negro  children  were  concerned,  there  was  com- 
paratively little  difference  in  the  northern  and  western 
divisions  between  the  ])roportion  of  illiterates  in  this 
group  and  that  among  the  native  wliites.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  percentages  of  illiteracy  for  negro  chil- 
dren in  the  southern  divisions  were  conspicuously 
larger  than  the  percentages  for  the  white  children. 

A comparison  of  the  figures  shown  for  1910  with 
those  for  1900  indicates  that  there  was  in  general  a 
considerable  diminution  during  the  decade  in  the  per- 
centage of  illiteracy  among  children  from  lO  to  14  years 
of  age;  indeed,  in  a great  many  cases  the  percentage  in 
1910  was  less  than  half  what  it  was  m 1900. 

Table  37  gives,  bj^  states,  the  population  10  to  14 
v^ears  of  age,  with  the  number  and  percentage  illiterate.

The  percentage  of  illiteracy  for  the  total  male  popu- 
lation 21  years  of  age  and  over  in  1910  was  8.4.  For 
the  native  whites  of  native  parentage  the  percentage 
was  4.2,  for  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage  1.3,  for  the  foreign-born  whites  11.9,  and 
for  the  negroes  33.3.  In  the  total  population,  and  in 
every  class  except  the  foreign-born  whites,  the  per- 
centage of  illiteracy  among  males  21  years  of  age  and 
over  was  less  in  1910  than  in  1900. 


Divisions  and  states. — The  number  and  percentage 
of  illiterate  males  21  years  of  age  and  over  in  the 
principal  color  or  race,  nativity,  and  parentage  groups 
is  shown  by  divisions  and  states  m Table  39. 

In  the  total  number  of  males  21  years  of  age  and  over 
the  percentage  of  illiteracy  was  lowest  in  the  West 
North  Central  division  and  highest  in  the  East  South 
Central  division.  The  three  southern  divisions, 
which  contain  large  numbei-s  of  negroes,  had  much 
higher  jiroportions  of  illiterates  among  males  21  years 
of  age  and  over  than  the  northern  and  western 
divisions. 

A comparison  of  the  figures  for  1910  with  those  for 
1900  shows  that,  except  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  tlivision, 
where  the  proportion  of  illiterates  remained  the 
same,  and  the  New  England  division,  which  shows  a 
comparatively  small  decrease,  there  was  generally 
throughout  the  United  States  a considerable  decrease 
during  the  decade  in  the  percentage  of  illiterates 
among  males  21  years  of  age  and  over.  The  excep- 
tional situation  in  New  England  and  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division  is  due  to  the  fact  that  these  divi- 
sions have  received  a great  part  of  the  recent  immi- 
grants to  the  United  States. 

Principal  cities. — Table  40  gives  figures  showing 
the  number  and  percentage  of  illiterates  among  males 
21  years  of  age  and  over  in  cities  having  100,000  inhab- 
itants or  more,  similar  information  in  condensed  form 
being  given  in  Table  34  for  cities  having  25,000  to 
100,000  inhabitants.

OTTArTER  8. 

DWELLINGS  AND  FAMILIES. 


Introduction. — This  cliaptor  siininiarizes  tlie  data 
collected  by  the  Thirteenth  Decennial  Census  with 
regard  to  the  number  of  dwellings  ami  families  and 
the  average  number  of  persons  ])er  dwelling  and  per 
family.  Data  are  presented  for  each  state  and  for 
the  prmcipal  cities.  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  Rico,  and 
other  outlying  po.ssessions  are  not  included. 

In  census  usage  a “dwelling”  is  any  building  in 
which  one  or  more  persons  reside.  A mere  cabin,  or 
a room  in  a warehouse,  occupied  by  a single  person,  is 
a census  dwelling,  while  on  the  other  hand  an  apart- 
ment house  containing  many  families  constitutes  only 
one  dwelling. 

The  term  “family”  as  here  used  means  a household 
or  group  of  persons,  whether  related  by  blood  or  not, 
who  share  a common  abode,  usually  also  sharing  the 
same  table.  If  one  pemon  lives  alone,  he  constitutes 
a family,  while  on  the  other  hand  those  who  dwell  in  a 
hotel  or  institution  in  which  many  people  live  are  also 
treated  as  forming  a single  family. 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  a family  under  the 
census  definition  may  in  some  instances  be  very  large, 
there  is  no  considerable  difference  between  the  aver- 
age size  of  all  families  under  the  census  usage  and  the 
average  size  of  what  are  commonly  termed  families  or 
households  in  popular  speech.  At  the  census  of  1900 
a distinction  was  made  between  “private  families,” 
in  most  of  which  all  or  nearly  all  of  the  members  are 
related  by  blood  or  marriage,  and  “economic  families,” 
comprising  more  or  less  artificial  groups,  including 
boarding  houses  (at  least  those  having  several  or 
many  boarders),  hotels,  institutions,  construction 
gangs,  lumber  camps,  etc. 

For  the  United  States  as  a whole,  as  reported  at  the 
census  of  1900,  the  average  size  of  all  families  was  4.7 
persons,  and  the  average  for  private  families  4.6,  and 
in  many  of  the  states  there  was  scarcely  any  difference 
between  the  two  averages.  In  fact,  the  tlecline  from 
census  to  census  in  the  average  size  of  “census  families  ” 
is  undoubtedly  due  to  a decline  in  the  average  size  of 
private  families,  resulting  from  a decrease  in  the  aver- 
age number  of  cliildren  in  the  “natural”  family.* 
Similarly,  differences  between  localities  as  to  the 
average  size  of  census  families  in  general  result  in 
the  main  from  differences  in  the  average  size  of  private 
families  and  “natural”  families. 

* It  should,  of  course,  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  “private  family” 
is  often  by  no  means  identical  with  a natural  family.  A natural 
family  may  be  defhied  as  consisting  only  of  persons  related  by  blood 
or  marriage  and  as  comprising  all  such  persons  within  the  particular 
degi-ee  of  consanguinity  which  the  individual  using  the  term  has  in 
mind — the  inost  common  usage  being,  perhaps,  to  consider  a hus- 
band and  wife  and  their  children  as  the  unit.  The  members  of  a 
natural  family  often  do  not  live  togetlier  in  the  same  “private 
family.”  On  the  other  hand,  many  private  families  have  servants 
or  other  members  not  related  by  blood,  or  members  with  more  or 
less  distant  blood  relationship. 


Summary  for  the  United  States. — Table  1 shows,  for 
the  United  States  as  a whole,  the  statistics  regarding 
dwellings  and  families  at  each  census  from  1850  to 
1910,  except  that  the  data  regarding  dwellings  for 
1860  and  1870  are  omitted  because  they  are  not  com- 
parable with  those  for  the  other  censuses.

In  the  United  States  as  a whole,  in  1 910,  with  a popu- 
lation of  91,972,266,  there  were  17,805,845  occupied 
dwellings  and  20,255,555  census  families.  Tlie  aver- 
age number  of  persons  per  dwelling  was  5.2,  and  the 
average  number  per  family,  4.5.  It  is  obvious  that 
the  great  majority  of  dwellings  are  occupied  by  a 
smgle  family  each.  j 

At  each  census  from  1850  to  1910,  for  which  compa- 
rable figures  are  available,  a decrease  was  shown  in 
the  average  number  of  persons  per  dwelling  and 
the  average  number  per  family.  Tlie  decrease  m the 
average  number  per  dwelling  has  been  due  to  the 
decrease  in  the  average  per  family,  the  influence  of 
which  has  been  partly  offset  by  the  increased  construc- 
tion of  tenements  and  other  dwellings  containing 
more  than  one  family. 

Divisions  and  states. — Table  2 shows,  by  geographic 
divisions  and  states,  the  number  of  dwellings  and 
families  in  1910  and  the  average  number  of  persons 
per  dwelling  and  per  family  for  each  of  the  last  three 
censuses. 

Variations  among  the  divisions  find  states  with 
respect  to  the  average  number  of  persons  per  dwelling 
are  largely  due  to  variations  in  the  proportion  of  the 
population  living  in  great  cities,  where  there  are  many 
tenement  houses,  apartment  houses,  and  other  large 
dwellings.  The  average  number  of  pemons  per  dwell- 
ing in  1910  was  greatest  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  and 
New  England  divisions  (6.2  and  6,  respectively),  and 
these  are  the  di\dsions  with  the  largest  proportion  of 
urban  population.  The  average  was  lowest  in  the 
Mountain  division  (4.5).  Among  the  states.  New 
York,  Rhode  Island,  Massachusetts,  New  Jersey,  and 
Connecticut  had  an  average  of  more  than  six  persons 
per  dwelling  in  1910.  The  average  was  lowest  in 
Nevada  (3.6).

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— POPULATION 


Til  1910  tho  average  number  of  persons  per  family 
was  greatest  in  the  three  southern  divisions  (4.8  in 
tlu!f  South  Atlantic  and  West  South  Central  and  4.7 
in  the  East  South  Central),  and  smallest  (4.3)  in  the 
East  Northf^entral,  Mountain,  and  Ihicific  divisions.  In 
all  of  the  geographic  divisions  except  the  New  England 
and  Middle  Atlantic  the  average  size  of  families  de- 
creased from  1900  to  1910,  wliile  in  those  two  divisions 
there  was  no  change.  Among  the  individual  states, 
the  average  size  of  families  in  1910  was  greatest  in 
Minnesota  and  North  Carolina,  5 in  each  case.  It 
was  4.9  in  Virginia,  West  Virginia,  and  Texas.  In  no 
state  except  Nevada  did  the  average  fall  below  4.1.

As  might  be  expected,  the  average  number  of  persons 
per  dwelling  is  materially  higher  in  urban  than  in  rural 
communities,  except  for  the  three  southern  divisions, 
the  respective  figures  for  the  United  States  as  a whole 
in  1910  being  5.9  and  4.7.  The  difference  is  particu- 
larly conspicuous  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  diUsion,  in 
wdiich  the  city  of  New  York  is  situated.  The  average 
number  of  persons  per  dwelling  in  the  urban  com- 
munities in  this  division  in  1910  was  7.3,  as  compared 
with  4.6  for  rural  communities. 

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  the  average  number 
of  persons  per  census  family  is  slightly  smaller  in  urban 
than  in  rural  communities,  but  in  several  of  the  geo- 
graphic divisions  the  average  is  greater  in  urban 
communities.  It  is  probable  that  large  “economic” 
families — hotels,  institutions,  etc. — arc  more  numerous 
in  urlian  than  in  rural  communities,  and  that  if  only 
private  families  were  considered  the  rural  communities 
would  show'  a greater  excess  in  average  size  of  family,  in 
the  United  States  as  a whole,  than  apjiears  in  the  table. 

Principal  cities. — ^Table  4 show's  statistics  regarding 
dw'ellings  and  families  for  each  city  of  100,000  or  more 
inhabitants,  and  Table  5 jiresents  similar  statistics 
for  cities  of  25,000  to  100,000  inhabitants. 

The  city  of  New  York,  w'ith  an  average  of  15.6  per- 
sons per  dwelling  in  1910  (30.9  in  Maidiattan  Borough), 
stands  out  consjhcuously  among  tho  cities  of  100,000

in  1910  was  highest  in  St.  Paul  (5.2)  and  lowest  in 
Indianapolis  (4).  In  Now  York  both  in  1910  and  in 
1900  the  avei’age  number  of  persons  per  family  was  4.7.

census  but  is  the  population  in  that  year  of  the  territory  classified  as  urban  in  1910.

Salton  Sea  in  California. 


There  are  in  the  United  States  6,361,502  farms,* 
contaming  a total  of  878,798,000  acres, ^ of  which 
478,452,000  acres  are  improved.  The  land  in  farms 
represents  somewhat  less  than  one-half,  46.2  per  cent, 
of  the  total  land  area  of  the  country,  while  the  im- 
proved land  represents  somewhat  over  one-half,  54.4 


per  cent,  of  the  total  acreage  of  land  in  farms.  Im- 
proved land  in  farms  thus  represents  almost  exactly 
one-fourth,  25.1  per  cent  of  the  total  land  area  of  the 
country.  On  the  average  the  farms  of  the  United 
States  contain  138.1  acres,  of  which,  on  the  average, 
over  one-half,  75.2  acres,  are  improved  land. 


> Farm. — A “farm”  for  census  purposes  is  all  the  land  which  is  directly  farmed 
by  one  person  managing  and  conducting  agricultural  operations,  either  by  his  own 
labor  alone  or  with  the  assistance  of  members  of  his  household  or  hired  employees. 
The  term  “agricultural  operations”  is  used  as  a general  term  referring  to  the  work 
of  growing  crops,  producing  other  agricultural  products,  and  raising  animals,  fowls, 
and  bees.  A “farm”  as  thus  defined  may  consist  of  a single  tract  of  land  or  of  a 
number  of  separate  and  distinct  tracts,  and  these  several  tracts  may  be  held  under 
different  tenures,  as  where  one  tract  is  owned  by  the  farmer  and  another  tract  is 
hired  by  him.  Further,  when  a landowner  has  one  or  more  tenants,  renters,  crop- 
pers, or  managers,  the  land  operated  by  each  is  considered  a “farm.” 

In  applying  the  foregoing  definition  of  a “ farm  ” for  census  purposes,  enumerators 
were  instructed  toreport  as  a “farm ’’any  tract  of  3 or  more  acres  used  for  agricultural 
purposes,  no  matter  what  the  value  of  the  products  raised  upon  the  land  or  the 
amount  of  labor  involved  in  operating  the  same  in  1909.  In  addition,  they  were 
instructed  to  report  in  the  same  manner  all  tracts  containing  less  than  3 acres  which 
either  produced  at  least  $250  worth  of  farm  products  in  the  year  1909,  or  on  which 
the  continuous  services  of  at  least  one  person  were  expended. 


2 Land  In  farms.— Land  In  farms  is  divided  at  the  present  census  into  (1) 
improved  land,  (2)  woodland,  and  (3)  all  other  unimproved  land.  The  same  classi- 
fication was  followed  in  1880.  At  former  censuses,  except  that  of  1880,  farm  land 
was  divided  into  improved  land  and  unimproved  land,  woodland  being  included 
with  unimproved  land.  Improved  land  includes  all  land  regularly  tilled  or  mowed, 
land  pastured  and  cropped  in  rotation,  land  lying  fallow,  land  in  gardens,  orchards, 
vineyards,  and  nurseries,  and  land  occupied  by  farm  buildings.  Woodland  includes 
all  land  covered  with  natural  or  planted  forest  trees  which  produce,  or  later  may 
produce,  firewood  or  other  forest  produets.  All  other  unimproved  land  includes 
brush  land,  rough  or  stony  land,  swamp  land,  and  any  other  land  which  is  not 
improved  or  in  forest.  It  should  be  noted,  however,  in  this  connection  that  the 
census  classification  of  farm  land  as  “improved  land,”  “woodland,”  and  “other 
unimproved  land  ” is  one  not  always  easy  for  the  farmers  or  enumerators  to  make, 
owing  to  the  fact  that  the  farmers  sometimes  use  these  terms  with  different  mean- 
ings from  those  assi.gned  to  them  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  There  is  evidence 
that  the  same  kind  of  land  has  at  certain  times  and  places  been  reported  as 
“ improved  land  ” and  at  other  times  and  places  as  “ unimproved  land,”  rendering 
these  classifications  less  accurate  than  the  report  of  total  farm  acreage  and  value.

ABSl’RACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGIUCULTURE. 


2GG 

Tlie  total  value  of  farm  projjoi'ty  readies  the  enor- 
mous sum  of  $40,0!)  1 ,000,000,  oi'  which  over  two- 
thirds  represents  the  value  of  land,  about  one-sixth 
the  value  of  buildinj's,  and  about  another  one-sixth 
the  combined  value  of  implements  and  machinery  and 
of  live  stock.  The  average  value  of  all  farm  jiroperty 
])cr  farm  re])orting  is  $G,444.  The  average  value  of  all 
farm  jiroperty  jier  acre  of  land  in  farms  is  $46.64-,  and 
the  average  value  of  the  land  itself  per  acre  is  $32.40. 

It  is  a significant  fact  that  whereas  the  total  popu- 
lation increased  21  per  cent  between  1900  and  1910, 
the  urban  population  increased  34.8  per  cent  and 
the  rural  jiopulation  only  11.2  per  cent.  The  num- 
ber and  acreage  of  farms  increased  much  less  rapidly 
than  the  total  jiopulation,  but  the  grov/th  in  the 
number  of  farms  nearly  kept  pace  with  the  move- 
ment of  the  rural  population,  amounting  to  10.9  per 
cent.  The  total  farm  acreage,  on  the  other  hand,  in- 
creased only  4.S  per  cent.  This,  however,  is  less 
significant  than  the  increase  in  acreage  of  improved 
farm  land,  which  amounted  to  15.4  per  cent,  shovving 
a greater  percentage  of  increase  than  the  number  of 
farms  or  rural  population  but  still  falling  appreciabty 
behind  the  increase  in  total  population.  It  should  be 
noted  that  "rural  population”  is  a much  broader  term 
than  "agricultural  population.”  "Rural”  as  here 
used  includes  the  entire  population  outside  of  incor- 


])orated  places,  including  New  England  "towns,” 
having  2,500  inhabitants  or  more. 

The  average  size  of  a farm  decreased  from  146.2  acres 
in  1900  to  138.1  acres  in  1910,  but  the  average  acreage 
of  improved  land  per  farm  was  somewhat  greater  in 
the  later  year  than  in  the  earlier.  It  is  possible  that 
the  reported  increase  in  the  proportion  of  farm  land  im- 
proved, from  49.4  per  cent  in  1900  to  54.4  in  1910,  is 
partly  due  to  differences  of  interpretation  as  to  what 
constitutes  improved  land.  (See  definitions,  p.  265.) 

The  total  value  of  farm  property  a little  more  than 
doubled  during  the  decade  1900  to  1910.  The  greater 
part  of  this  extraordinar}'  increase  has  been  in  farm 
land,  the  value  of  wliich  increased  no  less  than  118.1 
per  cent,  and  this  in  turn  was  due  largel}^  to  the  ad- 
vance in  the  price  of  land,  the  average  value  per  acre 
being  more  than  twice  as  high  in  1910  as  in  1900— 
$32.40  as  compared  with  $15.57.  There  have  been 
remarkable  increases,  also,  in  the  value  of  farm  build- 
ings and  equipment,  the  value  of  buildings  having 
increased  77.8  per  cent,  that  of  implements  and 
machinery  68.7  per  cent,  and  that  of  live  stock  60.1 
per  cent. 

Notwithstanding  the  decrease  in  the  average  size  of 
farms,  the  value  of  all  farm  property  per  farm  in- 
creased from  $3,563  in  1900  to  $6,444  in  1910,  or  80.9 
per  cent . 


FARMS  AND  FARM  LAND,  BY  DIVISIONS  AND  STATES:  1910  AND  1900. 


Geographic  distribution  of  farms  and  farm  land. — 
The  agricultural  industry  of  the  country  is  very  un- 
equally distributed  among  its  different  sections  and 
states.  Table  3,  on  pages  268  and  269,  shows  for  each  of 
the  nine  main  geographic  divisions  and  for  each  state 
the  total  and  rural  population,  number  of  farms, 
total  land  area,  and  acreage  of  farm  land  and  of 
improved  farm  land  for  1910  and  1900.  It  also  shows 
what  percentage  of  the  respective  totals  was  found  in 
each  division  and  state  at  each  of  these  censuses. 

While  the  differences  among  the  several  geographic 
divisions  as  regards  the  })roportions  in  wliich  they  con- 
tribute to  the  farming  industiy  of  the  countiy  are 
naturally  affected  greatly  by  the  differences  in  the 
total  area  of  the  divisions,  it  is  evident  that  they  are 
due  in  large  degree  to  differences  in  the  extent  to 
which  the  land  is  capable  of  utihzation  for  farming 
* purposes,  or  has  thus  far  been  so  utilized.  For  in- 
stance, the  Mountam  division,  which  comprises  28.89 
per  cent  of  the  total  land  area,  has  only  3.33  jier  cent 
of  the  improved  fann  land. 

There  is  httle  coiTesponden.ee  between  (ho  geo- 
graphic distribution  of  population  and  that  of  the 
agricultural  industry.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
"rural  population,”  as  shown  in  the  table,  includes 
large  numbers  of  jiersons  not  living  on  fanns,  there  is, 
naturally,  a somewhat  closer  coiTcspondence  between 


the  distribution  of  the  rural  population  and  that  of 
the  number  of  fairns  and -the  acreage  of  farm  land. 

Table  3 shows  that,  whether  the  importance  of  the 
agricultural  industiy  be  judged  by  the  number  of 
farms,  the  total  acreage  of  farms,  or  the  total  improved 
acreage,  the  great  bulk  of  it  is  to  be  found  in  five 
geograpliic  diUsions — namely,  the  four  which  con- 
stitute the  tenitory  between  the.  Alleghenies  and  the 
Rocky  Mountams  (East  and  West  North  Central  and 
East  and  West  South  Central)  together  with  the  South 
Atlantic.  Each  of  these  five  divisions  has  in  the 
neighborhood  of  one-sixth  of  the  total  number  of 
farms  in  the  countiy. 

The  West  North  Central  division  has  a decidedly 
larger  acreage  of  farm  land  than  any  other;  it  con- 
tains 26.5  per  cent  of  the  total  farm  acreage  of  the 
United  States.  The  West  South  Central  diUsion 
ranks  next,  with  19.2  per  cent  of  the  total,  followed 
by  (ho  East  North  Central  and  the  South  Atlantie. 
Notwithstanding  their  groat  total  area,  the  Moun- 
tain and  Pacific  divisions  contain  only  a compara- 
tively small  proportion  of  the  present  farm  land  of 
the  countiy. 

The  acreage,  of  improved  fann  land  is  on  the  whole 
the  best  criterion  of  the  agricultural  importance  of  a 
given  state  or  division.  Five-sixths  of  the  improved 
fann  land  of  the  countiy  is  in  the  two  North  (Central, 


FARMS  AND  FARM  PROPERTY. 


267 


tho  two  South  Central,  and  tho  South  Atlantic  dm- 
sions.  More  than  ono-third  of  tho  total  (34.3  per  cent) 
is  found  in  tho  West  North  Central  division,  tho  broad 
prairies  of  which  are  peculiarly  adapted  for  almost 
coinj)lete  utilization  for  farming  purjioses.  Tho  East 
North  Central  division  ranks  next,  containing  18.6 
per  cent  of  the  improved  farm  land  of  the  countiy,  and 
the  West  South  Central  follows  with  12.2  per  cent. 
The  ^lountam  and  Pacific  divisions  together  con- 
tribute less  than  S per  cent  of  the  total,  tliis  small 
proportion  being  due  partly  to  the  newness  of  this 
section  and  partly  to  the  great  extent  of  mountainous 
and  arid  territory. 

It  is  convenient  also  to  consider  the  country  as 
divided  mto  three  great  groups  of  states,  wliich  may  be 
designated,  in  general  terms,  as  the  North,  the  South, 
and  the  West.  The  North  includes  the  first  four  divi- 
sions hsted  in  Table  3,  the  South  the  next  three  divi- 
sions, and  the  West  the  last  two.  Another  convenient 
comparison  is  between  the  tenitory  east  and  that  west 
of  the  Mississippi  River. 

The  following  table  shows,  for  each  of  these  sections, 
the  percentages  wliich  the  number  of  farms,  the  acreage 
of  farm  lapd,  and  the  acreage  of  improved  farm  land 
represent  of  the  totals  for  the' United  States:

While  the  South  has  a larger  proportion  of  the  num- 
ber of  farms  than  the  North,  it  has  a smaller  propor- 
tion of  the  total  farm  land  of  the  country,  and  a 
decidedly  smaller  proportion  of  the  improved  farm 
land.  The  North  contained  a slightly  larger  propor- 
tion of  the  total  area  of  farm  land  in  1910  than  it  did  in 
1900,  but  its  proportion  of  the  improved  farm  land 
was  less  in  the  later  year  than  in  the  earher.  Precisely 
the  opposite  is  true  of  the  South. 

The  movement  of  agriculture  toward  the  West, 
which  had  been  going  on  since  the  first  settlement  of 
Ihe  country,  continued  during  the  past  decade.  The 
four  divisions  lying  west  of  the  Mississippi,  taken  to- 
gether, comprised  54.4  per  cent  of  the  improved  farm 
land  of  the  country  in  1910  as  compared  with  48.9  per 
cent  in  1900. 

Increases  and  decreases:  1900-1910. — It  will  be  seen 
by  Table  3 that  in  the  territory  north  of  the  Oliio  and 
east  of  the  Mississippi,  comprising  three  geographic 
divisions — New  England,  Middle  Atlantic,  and  East 


North  Central — there  was  an  actual  decrease  in  the  num- 
ber of  farms  between  1900  and  1910,  despite  a large 
increase  in  ])opulation.  In  the  West  North  Central 
division  the  increase  in  the  number  of  farms  has  been 
comparatively  small,  amounting  to  4.6  ])er  cent.  In 
all  of  the  other  five  divisions  there  has  been  a very  con- 
siderable increase  in  the  number  of  farms.  In  the 
East  South  Central  and  Mountain  divisions  the  num- 
ber increased  more  rapidly  than  tho  total  population. 

Great  differences  appear  among  the  several  geo- 
graphic divisions  with  respect  to  the  changes  in  the 
total  acreage  of  land  in  farms.  In  the  New  England, 
Middle  Atlantic,  South  Atlantic,  and  West  South 
Central  divisions  there  was  a decrease  in  the  acreage 
reported  in  farms.  The  largest  decrease,  both  in 
absolute  amount  and  in  percentage,  was  in  tho  West 
South  Central  division,  but  this  is  m a sense  mis- 
leading. A considerable  increase  in  the  acreage  of 
farms  occurred  in  two  of  the  states  of  the  division, 
Ai’kansas  and  Oklahoma.  In  Louisiana  a moderate 
decrease  appeared,  due  to  the  purchase  by  nonresi- 
dents of  undeveloped  lands  in  the  extreme  southern 
part  of  the  state,  which  had  been  reported  as  parts  of 
farms  m 1900,  although  not  actually  used  for  agricul- 
ture. A larger  percentage  of  the  total  land  area  of 
the  state  is  now  improved  than  in  1900.  In  Texas 
there  was  nommally  a very  great  decrease  in  the  acre- 
age of  farm  land,  but  a large  part  if  not  all  of  this 
was  due  to  the  fact  that  m 1900  the  state  contained 
many  enormous  ranches  which  in  their  entirety  were 
reported  as  farm  land,  whereas  in  1910  many  of  these 
ranches  were  broken  into  smaller  tracts,  some  of 
whieh  were  reported  as  farms,  while  others  had  not 
been  put  to  use  for  agriculture.  Some  large  tracts  of 
land  which  were  owned  by  nonresidents  and  not  used 
at  the  tune  of  enumeration  in  1910  had  been  used 
more  or  less  for  grazing  in  1900.  The  acreage  of 
improved  land  in  Texas  mcreased  greatly  during  the 
decade. 

In  the  East  North  Central  and  East  South  Central 
divisions  there  was  a slight  increase  in  farm  land 
during  the  past  decade.  In  the  West  North  Central 
division  over  31,000,000  acres  more  land  was  reported 
in  farms  in  1910  than  in  1900,  this  increase  represen t- 
mg  more  than  three-fourths  of  the  total  increase  for 
the  United  States.  The  percentage  of  increase  in  this 
division,  15.7  per  cent,  was,  however,  exceeded  by 
that  in  the  Mountain  division,  28.3  per  cent.  A very 
considerable  increase  in  farm  land  was  also  reported 
for  the  Pacific  states. 

Most  of  the  states  show  the  same  movement  with 
regard  to  acreage  of  farm  land  as  the  divisions  m which 
they  are  situated,  but  there  are  a few  exceptions.  In 
the  East  North  Central  division,  for  example,  which  as 
a whole  showed  an  increase,  this  was  confined  to  the 
states  of  Michigan  and  Wisconsin,  there  being  de- 
creases in  farm  land  in  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Illinois.

ABSTRACT  OF  TH1^:  CENSUS— AGIllCULTITRE. 


Ill  acreage  of  improved  land  in  farms  all  of  the 
divisions  except  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic 
show  increases  between  1900  and  1910.  The  West 
North  Centrid  division  rejiorted  a much  greater  abso- 
lute increase  than  any  other  division,  nearly  29,000,000 
acres  of  improved  land,  or  not  far  from  half  of  the 
total  increase  for  the  United  States,  havmg  been 
added  during  the  decade.  The  jiercentage  of  increase 
was,  however,  less  than  in  the  West  South  Central 
and  Mountain  divisions.  In  the  West  South  Central 
about  18, .500, 000  acres  were  added  durmg  the  decade. 


an  increase  of  46.5  per  cent;  aiul  in  the  Mountain 
division  over  7,500,000  acres,  or  89.4  per  cent.  The 
three  northernmost  states  in  the  South  Atlantic 
division,  namely,  Delaware,  Maryland,  and  Virginia, 
.show  decreases,  which  are,  however,  more  than  offset 
by  the  increases  in  the  other  five  states  of  the  division. 

The  followhig  statement  shows  the  changes  in  the 
number  of  farms,  land  in  farms,  and  improved  farm 
land  during  the  past  decade  in  the  North,  the  South, 
and  the  West,  and  in  the  territory  east  and  west  of 
the  Mississippi  River,  respectively:

> A minus  sign  (— ) denotes  decrease. 


The  increase  of  over  30,000,000  acres  of  land  in  farms 
in  the  North  was  almost  wholly  confined  to  the  West 
North  Central  division.  In  the  South  there  was  an 
apparent  decrease,  owing  entirely  to  the  conditions  in 
Louisiana  and  Texas,  already  described.  The  West 
shows  a smaller  absolute  mcrease,  but  a greater  per- 
centage of  increase,  than  the  North. 

In  acreage  of  improved  farm  land  the  North  shows 
the  greatest  absolute  increase  during  the  decade,  but 
in  the  South  the  absolute  increase  was  nearly  as  great 
and  the  percentage  of  increase  nearly  twice  as  gTeat, 
while  in  the  West  the  absolute  increa.se  was  about 
one-third  as  great,  but  the  percentage  of  increase 
almost  four  times  as  high  as  in  the  North. 

Percentage  of  land  in  farms  and  percentage  im- 
proved.— Wide  differences  exist  among  the  several 
states  and  divisions  in  the  proportion  of  their  total 
area  which  has  been  brought  into  farms,  and  also  in 
the  proportion  of  the  farm  land  which  has  been  im- 
proved. Table  5 shows  these  differences  by  means  of 
percentages  calculated  from  the  figures  in  Table  3. 
The  definition  of  improved  land  given  in  the  note  on 
page  265  should  be  borne  in  mind,  shice  it  is  probable 
that  the  differences  in  the  proportion  of  land  improved 
and  the  changes  in  this  proportion  from  census  to  cen- 
sus are  due  partly  to  differences  in  intei-jiretation  as  to 
what  constitutes  imjiroved  land  in  different  sections  of 
the  country  and  at  different  censuses. 

The  map  on  jiage  272  shows,  by  counties,  the  propor- 
tion which  land  in  faims  represents  of  the  total  land 


area,  and  the  map  on  page  273  shows  the  proportion 
which  improved  land  represents  of  the  total  land 
area. 

The  East  North  Central  division  leads  aU  other  geo- 
graphic divisions  m the  extent  to  which  its  land  area 
has  been  brought  into  farms,  exactly  three-fourths 
of  its  total  land  area  consistuig  of  farm  land.  The 
proportions  in  the  West  North  Central  and  East  South 
Central  divisions  m each  case  exceed  70  per  cent. 
The  Middle  Atlantic,  West  South  Central,  and  South 
Atlantic  di\’isions  have  each  over  60  per  cent  of  their 
total  land  ai'ea  in  farms,  but  m the  New  England  divi- 
sion the  proportion  falls  .slightly  below  50  per  cent;  in 
the  Pacific  division  it  is  only  25,2  per  cent;  and  in 
the  Mountain  division  only  10.8  per  cent. 

The  divisions  rank  somewhat  differently  with  re- 
spect to  the  proportion  of  their  area  which  is  repre- 
sented by  improved  farm  land,  these  differences  in 
rankuig  behig  due  of  course  to  the  differences  among 
the  divisions  hi  the  percentage  which  improved  land 
represents  of  the  total  farm  land.  The  East  North 
Central  division  again  ranks  first,  56.6  per  cent  of  its 
total  land  area  consisting  of  improved  farm  land,  and 
the  West  North  Central  division  ranks  second,  with 
50.3  per  cent.  The  Middle  Atlantic  division,  however, 
ranks  third,  followed  by  the  East  Soulh  Central  and 
South  Atlantic.  In  each  of  the  five  divisions  just 
named  the  improved  farm  land  constituted  more 
(ban  one-fourth  of  the  total  land  area,  but  in  fhe 
West  South  Central,  Now  England,  Pacific,  aJid

and,  in  fact,  in  tlio  Mountain  division  it  is  only  2.9  i)or

Witli  respect  to  the  ])roportion  which  improved 
land  rcpre.scnts  of  all  land  hi  farms,  tho  New  England 
and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions  reported  a decline 
between  1900  and  1910,  as  shown  in  tho  table  below, 
but  hi  each  of  tho  other  seven  divisions  the  propor- 
tion was  larger  hi  tho  later  year,  the  change  behig 
most  conspicuous  hi  the  West  South  Central  and  Moiin- 
tahi  divisions.

Average  size  of  farms. — Table  13,  on  page  280,  shows 
the  average  acreage  and  improved  acreage  per  farm. 

The  farms  are  smaller  in  the  older  sections  of  the 
country  than  in  the  newer.  They  are,  also,  in  general, 
smaller  in  the  Southern  states  than  in  the  Northern. 
Tliis  latter  condition,  however,  is  due  largely  to  the 
fact  that  the  land  operated  by  each  tenant  is,  in  the 
census  statistics,  treated  as  a separate  farm.  In  cer- 
tain Southern  states  there  are  stiU  many  so-called 
plantations  consisting  of  several  or  even  many  tenant 
holdings.  In  many  cases  these  plantations  as  a whole 
are  as  truly  agricultural  units  as  large  farms  in  the 
North  operated  by  hired  labor. 

More  specifically,  the  average  size  of  farms  is  small- 
est in  the  East  South  Central  division — 78.2  acres.  It 
is  92.2  acres  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  93.3  in  the 
South  Atlantic,  104.4  in  the  New  England,  and  105 
in  the  East  North  Central.  These  five  divisions  do 
not  differ  so  widely  from  one  another  as  they  all  do 
from  the  four  divisions  lying  west  of  the  Mississippi 
River,  in  wliich  the  farms  average  much  larger, 
ranging  from  179.3  acres  in  the  West  South  Central 
to  324.5  acres  in  the  Mountain  division.  From  the 
standpoint  of  cultivation  of  the  soil,  as  distinguished 
from  grazing,  the  average  number  of  improved  acres 
per  farm  furnishes  a better  basis  for  comparison  of 
size  than  the  average  number  of  acres  of  all  land, 
and  in  this  respect  the  divisions  rank  quite  differently. 

While  the  average  size  of  farms  in  the  country  as  a 
whole  has  deci'eased  about  6 per  cent  since  1900,  it  has 
increased  in  the  East  and  West  North  Central  divi- 
sions, and  hi  the  New  England  and  ^Middle  Atlantic 
divisions  the  decrease  is  small.  But  in  the  three 
southern  divisions  and  in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific 
divisions  the  decrease  in  the  size  of  farms  has  been 
conspicuous. 

The  following  table  shows  the  average  size  of  farms 
in  the  North,  the  South,  and  the  West,  and  in  the 
territory  east  and  west  of  the  Mississippi,  respectively:

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 

VALUE  OF  FARM  PROPERTY,  BY  DIVISIONS  AND  STATES : 1910  AND  1900. 


Geographic  distribution  of  farm  values. — Table  10 
(p{).  270  and  277)  shows  for  cacli  division  and  state  for 
1010  and  1000  the  value  of  all  farm  property  and  that 
of  each  class,  togetlier  with  increases. 

The  distribution  of  farm  values  among  the  divi- 
sions and  states  of  the  country  differs  cpiite  rad- 
ically from  the  distribution  of  land  in  farms,  since 
there  are  wide  dilferences  in  the  average  value  of  farm 
land  and  farm  ecpiipment  per  acre  in  the  different  sec- 
tions of  the  country.  The  following  table  shows  what 
percentage  of  the  total  value  of  all  farm  property  and 
of  each  class  thereof  in  the  United  States  is  reported 
from  each  geogra])hic  division  or  section:

Table  8 shows  that  nearly  one-third  of  the  total 
value  of  farm  property  in  1910  was  found  in  the  West 
North  Central  division  alone,  and  nearly  one-fourtli 
in  the  East  North  Central,  leaving  only  about  42  per 
cent  for  the  other  seven  geographic  divisions.  An 
examination  of  Table  10,  however,  shows  that  the 
East  North  Central  division  had  a smaller  proportion 
of  the  total  value  of  farm propert5Mn  1910  than  in  1900. 
The  same  is  true  of  three  other  easterR  divisions, 
the  New  England,  Middle  Atlantic,  and  East  South 
Central;  but  the  South  Atlantic  division  and  all  four 
of  the  divisions  lying  west  of  the  Mississippi  River 
contributed  a larger  ])roportion  of  the  total  value  of 
farm  property  in  the  later  j^'ear  than  in  the  earlier. 

In  the  North  as  a whole  the  value  of  farm  property 
in  1910  constituted  67  per  cent  of  the  total  for  the 
United  States;  in  the  South,  21.9  ])er  cent;  and  in  the 


West,  11.1  per  cent.  The  territory  cast  of  the  Missis- 
si])])!  River  comprised  46.5  per  cent  of  all  farm  prop- 
erty and  that  west  of  the  river  5.3.5  per  cent. 

Increase  in  value  of  farm  property. — Between  1900 
and  1910  the  total  value  of  farm  property  in  the 
United  States  doubled,  increasing  100.5  per  cent. 
This  extraordinary  increase  in  value  has  been  shared 
by  every  state.  (The  District  of  Columbia,  although 
listed  in  the  tables,  counts  for  but  little  in  agricul- 
tural statistics.)  Moreover,  there  has  been  an  increase 
in  every  state  in  the  value  of  each  class  of  farm 
property,  with  the  sole  exce])tion  of  the  value  of 
implements  and  machinery  in  Louisiana.  The  appar- 
ent decrease  in  this  item  in  Louisiana  is  misleading, 
being  due  mainly,  if  not  wholly,  to  the  fact  that  the 
returns  for  1900  included  as  implements  and  machinery 
the  equipment  of  sugar  mills  on  plantations,  which  was 
excluded,  as  being  manufacturing  property,  in  1910. 

In  absolute  amount  of  increase  in  the  value  of  all 
farm  property  the  West  North  Central  division  far 
exceeds  any  other,  the  increase  of  $7,714,000,000  there 
representing  considerably  more  than  one-third  of  the 
total  increase  for  the  entire  country.  The  East  North 
Central,  West  South  Central,  and  Pacific  divisions 
follow,  in  the  order  named,  in  the  absolute  amounts 
added  to  the  value  of  farm  property.  The  divisions, 
however,  rank  differently  with  respect  to  the  percent- 
ages of  increase.  The  Mountain  division  shows  the 
most  remarkable  relative  increase,  192.3  per  cent,  fol- 
lowed in  order  by  the  Pacific,  West  South  Central,  West 
North  Central,  and  South  Atlantic  divisions.  In  each 
of  these  five  divisions  the  increase  exceeded  100  per 
cent.  Tlie  lowest  rate  of  increase  was  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  28.1  per  cent. 

As  shown  in  Table  9,  the  relative  increase  in  the 
value  of  all  farm  property  in  the  South,  110.1  per 
cent,  exceeded  that  in  theNorth,  90.1  percent;  butboth, 
as  might  be  expected,  fell  below  the  West,  in  which  the 
increase  was  164.7  per  cent.  The  absolute  increase  in 
the  North,  however,  over  $13,000,000,000,  greatly  ex- 
ceeded that  in  the  other  two  sections  combined,  repre- 
senting in  fact  almost  two-thirds  of  the  total  increase 
for  the  United  States.  ' For  the  entire  territory  east 
of  the  Mississippi  River  the  percentage  of  increase  in 
the  value  of  all  farm  property  was  69.1  and  for  the 
territory  west  of  the  river  139.3.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Average  value  of  farm  property  per  acre  of  land. — 
Mucli  more  siguificant  than  comparisons  between 
states  and  divisions  with  respect  to  the  total  value  of 
farm  jiroperty  aie  comparisons  of  the  average  value 
of  farm  proi)(!rly  per  acre  of  land  in  farms.  Table  1 2 
shows  for  each  division  and  state  the  average  value,  per 
acre  of  fm-m  land,  of  all  farm  proj)erty  and  of  each  class. 

In  the  average  value  of  all  farm  property  per  acre 
of  farm  land  the  geographic  division  which  ranks 
highest  is  the  East  North  Central,  the  average  in 
that  division  being  $85.81.  The  Middle  Atlantic  divi- 
sion is  next  ($68.52  per  acre),  followed  by  the  West 
North  Central  ($58.18),  Pacific  ($54.17),  and  New 
England  ($43.99)  divisions  in  the  order  named.  In 
the  Mountain  division,  as  well  as  in  each  of  the  three 
southern  divisions,  the  average  value  of  farm  property 
per  acre  falls  between  $20  and  $30. 

The  average  value  of  land  itself  ])er  acre  ranges  from 
$61.32  in  the  East  North  Central  division  to  $16.06  in 
the  West  South  Central.  The  values  are  much  lower 
in  New  England,  the  three  southern  divisions,  and 
the  Mountain  division  than  in  the  other  four  divisions. 

The  southern  divisions  of  the  country  in  general 
show  greater  percentages  of  increase  in  the  value  of 


all  farm  property  per  acre  of  farm  land  during  the 
past  decade  tluin  the  northern  divisions.  The  West 
South  Central  division  outranks  all  others  in  this 
respect,  with  an  increase  of  147.2  per  cent.  The  two 
most  westerly  divisions,  klountain  and  Pacific,  rank 
next  in  percentage  of  increase,  followed  by  the  South 
Atlantic  and  the  West  North  Central.  In  all  five  of 
the  divisions  just  named  the  average  value  of  all  farm 
property  per  acre  of  land  was  more  than  twice  as  high 
in  1910  as  in  1900.  The  lowest  rate  of  increase,  33 
per  cent,  was  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division. 

The  principal  factor  in  the  increase  of  the  value  of 
farm  property  as  a whole  has  been  the  increase  in  the 
value  of  land  per  acre.  In  five  of  the  nine  geographic 
divisions — namely,  the  four  west  of  the  klississippi 
River,  together  with  the  South  Atlantic — the  average 
value  of  land  in  farms  per  acre  was  more  than  twice 
as  liigh  in  1910  as  in  1900;  in  the  Mountain  division 
it  was  more  than  three  times  as  liigh.  In  the  East 
North  Central  and  East  South  Central  divisions  the 
increase  in  value  of  farm  land  per  acre  exceeded  75 
per  cent.  The  lowest  percentages  of  increase  were  in 
the  IVliddle  Atlantic  and  New  England  divisions — 24.5 
per  cent  and  40.5  per  cent,  respectively.

The  average  value  of  all  farm  property  in  the  North, 
as  shown  in  Table  1 1,  is  equal  to  $66.46  for  each  acre  of 
land  in  farms,  in  the  South  to  $25.31 , and  in  the  West  to 
$40.93.  The  South  shows  a decidedly  higher  percent- 
age of  increase  in  the  average  during  the  past  decade 
than  the  North. 

The  average  value  of  land  per  acre  is  shown  by 
counties  in  the  map  on  page  275.  It  should  be  noted 
that  the  averages  are  based  only  on  land  in  farms. 
Each  county  as  a whole  is  shaded  according  to  the 
average  value  per  acre  of  land  in  farms,  even  though 
only  a small  proportion  of  the  county  may  actually 
be  occupied  by  farm  land.  There  are,  for  exam{)le, 
certain  counties  in  the  West  in  which,  usually  because 
of  irrigation,  the  average  value  of  land  in  farms  exceeds 
$100  per  acre,  but  in  which  less  than  one-fifth  of  the 
total  area  is  in  farms.  Somewhat  similar  conditions 
appear  in  several  counties  in  Florida  and  a few  else- 
where. Comparison  should  t herefore  be  made  between 
this  map  and  the  map  on  page  272  showing  the  [)ro- 
portion  of  the  total  land  area  of  each  county  Avhich 
is  occupied  by  farms. 

Average  value  of  farm  property  per  farm.  -Table  1 3,  on 
page  280,  shows  the  average  value  per  farm  of  all  farm 


property  and  of  each  class,  and  also,  as  a means  of 
judging  the  significance  of  the  figures,  the  average 
acreage  and  improved  acreage  jjer  farm. 

Owing  to  the  combined  effect  of  large  average  size 
of  farms  and  liigh  average  value  of  farm  property  per 
acre,  the  Pacific  and  West  North  Central  divisions 
conspicuously  lead  all  others  in  average  value  of  all 
farm  property  per  farm,  the  average  for  the  Pacific 
division  being  $14,643.  On  account  of  the  large  aver- 
age acreage  of  farms,  the  Mountain  division  ranks  next 
to  the  West  North  Central  in  average  value  of  farms 
and,  on  account  of  the  high  average  value  of  farm 
property  per  acre,  the  East  North  Central  ranks  next. 
In  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South  Central  divi- 
sions the  average  values  per  farm — $2,654  and  $2,094, 
respectively — are  very  much  lower  than  those  in  the 
other  divisions,  the  farms  themselves  being  small  and 
their  average  value  per  acre  comparatively  low.  If 
each  plantation  in  the  South  were  treated  as  a single 
farm,  the  average  value  of  ])roperty  per  farm  would 
be  considerably  Ifigher  than  shown  in  the  table. 

In  every  division  the  average  value  of  farms  has 
increased  greatly  since  1900;  in  the  West  North  Cen- 
tral division  it  has  more  than  doubled.

FARMS  AND  FARM  PR()]^]^]RTY.

III  tho  North,  as  shown  in  Table  14,  the  average 
value  of  a farm  with  its  equipment  in  1910  was  .19,507, 
as  compared  with  S2,897  in  the  South  and  .‘512,155  in 
the  West.  The  West  leads  the  other  two  sections  in 
the  average  vfdue  per  farm  of  land,  of  implements  and 
machinery,  and  of  live  stock,  but  the  average  value  of 
buildings  per  farm  is  highest  in  the  North.  The  aver- 
age value  of  a farm  is  nearly  twice  as  high  for  the  ter- 
ritory west  of  tho  Mississippi  as  for  that  east  of  the 
river,  the  excess  being  due  to  the  difference  in  the 
average  size  of  farms.  In  spite  of  the  lower  average 
size  of  farms,  it  should  be  noted  that  the  average  value 


of  buildings  ])er  farm  is  higher  east  of  tho  Mississippi 
liiver  than  west.

FARMS  AND  FARM  PROPERTY:  1850  TO  1910. 


United  States  as  a whole. — Table  15  shows,  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole,  the  population,  number 
and  acreage  of  farms,  and  value  of  farm  property 
at  each  census  from  1850  to  1910.  In  considering  this 
table  it  should  be  noted  that  some  of  the  figures  are 
not  entirely  comparable.  There  have  been  some  vari- 
ations from  census  to  census  in  the  definition  of  farm 
land  and  of  improved  farm  land.  Moreover,  in  some 
of  the  Western  states,  land  which  was  formerly  free 
public  range,  and  as  such  utilized  more  or  less  exten- 
sively for  grazing,  has  from  time  to  time  been  brought 
under  private  ownership  without  involving  any  con- 
siderable change  in  the  character  or  extent  of  the 
agricultural  operations.  This  transfer  of  unimproved 
grazing  land  from  public  to  private  ownership  tends  to 
reduce  the  proportion  of  improved  land  to  total  land 


in  farms.  Again,  the  comparability  of  the  figures 
regarding  the  number  of  farms  is  affected  by  the 
changes  in  i-espect  to  the  management  of  planta- 
tions in  the  South  which  followed  the  Civil  War. 
Prior  to  the  war  plantations  were  ordinarily  worked 
by  slave  or  hired  labor  and  were  reported  as  single 
units,  while  after  the  war  they  came  more  and  more  to 
be  parceled  out  to  tenants, -whose  holdings  are  reported 
by  the  census  as  separate  farms,  even  though  they 
may  be  operated  under  a thoroughgoing  supervision 
on  the  part  of  the  owner  of  the  plantation  or  his  repre- 
sentative. Notwithstanding  these  qualifications,  how- 
ever, the  data  presented  in  the  table  are  sufficiently 
comparable  to  indicate  in  a broad  way  the  agricul- 
tural progress  of  the  country  during  the  past  60 
years.

Table  16,  on  page  282,  shows  the  increase  since  1850 
in  the  number  of  farms,  in  the  total  farm  acreage, 
in  improved  farm  acreage,  and  in  the  value  of  farm 
property. 

The  greatest  increase  in  the  number  of  farms  and 
also  in  the  improved  farm  acreage  took  place  in  the 
decade  1870  to  1880,  but  the  greatest  increase  in  the 
total  farm  acreage  was  in  the  decade  1890  to  1900,  and 
by  far  the  greatest  increase  in  the  value  of  farm  prop- 
erty was  in  the  last  decade,  1900  to  1910. 


Comparisons  of  the  two  30-year  periods  show  that, 
while  from  1850  to  1880  the  agificultural  industry  more 
than  kept  pace  with  the  population,  it  has  on  the  whole 
failed  to  do  so  since  1880.  The  population  increased 
116.3  per  cent  between  1850  and  1880,  and  improved 
farm  land  increased  151.9  per  cent;  but  from  1880 
to  1910  population  increased  83.4  per  cent  and  im- 
proved farm  land  only  68  per  cent.  It  is  possible 
that  the  figures  for  acreage  of  farms  and  improved 
acreage  in  1880  are,  in  some  measure,  out  of  line  with

the  (lelinitious  used  at  that  census  were  unusually 
broad,  but  tlie  degree  of  incomparability,  if  any,  is 
not  suflicient  to  affect  materially  the  general  conclu- 
sions just  stated.

The  proportion  of  the  total  area  of  the  country  rep- 
resented by  farm  land  has  steadily  increased  from 
census  to  census.  It  was  15.6  per  cent  in  1850  and 
46.2  per  cent  in  1910.  The  most  marked  increase  in 
tliis  percentage  took  place  between  1890  and  1900,  and 
was  due  largely  to  bringing  into  farms  great  areas 
of  land  which  had  formerly  been  free  public  range. 
The  proportion  of  farm  land  improved  increased 
steadily  from  38.5  per  cent  in  1850  to  57.4  per  cent  in 
1890,  but  because  of  the  fact  just  stated  it  fell  off  by 
1900,  and  even  in  1910  was  somewhat  lower  than  in 
1890,  being  54.4  per  cent.  The  proportion  of  the 
total  land  area  of  the  country  represented  by  im- 
proved farm  land  has  risen  steadily  from  6 per  cent 
in  1850  to  25.1  per  cent  in  1910. 

The  average  size  of  farms  fell  from  202.6  acres  m 
1850  to  133.7  acres  in  1880,  this  dechne  being  due  in 
part  to  the  breaking  up  of  plantations  m the  South, 
previously  referred  to.  From  1880  to  1900,  on  account 
of  the  inclusion  in  large  ranches  of  land  which  had 
formerly  been  free  public  domain,  the  average  size  of 
farms  mcreased  somewhat,  reaching  146.2  acres  m 
1900,  since  which  time  it  has  again  decreased  on  ac- 
count of  the  breaking  up  of  ranches  and  the  further 
subdivision  of  plantations  m the  South,  The  average 
acreage  of  improved  land  per  farm  has  been  compara- 
tively stationary  from  census  to  census;  it  was  78 
acres  in  1850  mid  75.2  acres  in  1910. 

The  value  of  farm  property  m 1910  was  considera- 
bly more  than  ten  times  as  great  as  in  1850,  but  more 
than  half  of  the  total  increase  has  taken  place  hi 
the  last  decade  alone.  The  increase  in  farm  values  was 
very  rapid  from  1850  to  1860,  and  from  that  time  was 
more  gradual  until  1900. 


The  average  value  of  farm  property  per  acre  of  land 
m farms  m 1910  was  nearly  three  and  one-half  times 
as  great  as  in  1850.  The  increase  was  very  rapid  from 
1850  to  1860,  but  was  comparatively  slight  during  the 
next  three  decades.  The  average  was  actually  lower 
in  1900  than  m 1890,  but  an  extraordmary  increase 
appeared  at  the  census  of  1910. 

Farms  and  farm  property,  by  geographic  divisions. — 
Tables  17  and  18  show  the  changes  with  regard  to  farms 
and  farm  property  m each  of  the  nine  geographic  divi- 
sions from  1850  to  1910.  In  consideiing  these  tables, 
due  regard  should  be  given  to  the  conditions  above  re- 
ferred to  as  affecting  the  comparability  of  the  statistics. 

The  most  conspicuous  feature  of  the  statistics  in 
these  tables  is  the  movement  of  agriculture  toward 
the  West..  New  England  has  actually  less  improved 
land  m farms  at  present  than  it  had  in  1850.  The 
acreage  of  farm  land  and  of  improved  land  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division  reached  its  maximum  in  1880  and  has 
smee  declined.  The  East  North  Central  division 
showed  very  rapid  increases  from  1850  to  1880,  but  only 
a moderate  increase  since  that  time.  The  acreage  of 
farm  land  in  the  South  Atlantic  division  was  less 
in  1910  than  m 1860,  although  improved  land  had 
increased  appreciably.  On  the  other  hand,  the  four 
divisions  west  of  the  Mississippi  have  shown,  as  might 
be  expected,  extraordmary  increases  from  census  to 
census. 

In  the  average  acreage  of  land  per  farm  remarkable 
changes  have  taken  place  in  the  South  and  in  the  West. 
On  account  chiefly  of  the  division  of  plantations  into 
tenant  holdings,  the  average  farm  in  the  three  southern 
divisions  combined  was  less  than  one-half  as  large  in 
1880  as  it  had  been  in  1850.  The  average  size  of 
farms  in  the  Mountam  division  increased  rapidly  from 
1850  to  1900  on  account  of  the  bringing  of  previously 
public  land  into  large  ranges.  On  the  other  hand,  in 
the  Pacific  states,  or  more  specifically  in  California, 
great  tracts  of  land  were  already  in  1850  included  in 
privately  owned  ranches,  and  these  have  from  time  to 
time  been  broken  up,  reducnig  the  average  size. 

The  most  striking  feature  of  the  table  with  regard 
to  farm  values  is  the  decline  in  such  values  m the 
Southern  states  between  1860  and  1870,  due  to  the  dis- 
astrous effect  of  the  Civil  War.  On  the  other  hand,  in 
the  Northern  states  ipiite  generally  there  was  a decided 
increase  in  the  value  of  farm  property  durmg  the  decade 
of  the  war.  It  was  not  until  1900  that  the  aggregate 
value  of  farm  property  hi  the  East  South  Central  divi- 
sion again  reached  the  figure  reported  hi  1860,  imd  the 
recoveiy  in  the  South  Atlantic  division  took  .almost  as 
long.  The  marked  declhie  hi  the  average  value  of  a 
farm  with  its  cciuipmcnt  hi  the  Southern  states  alter 
1860  was  partly  due  to  the  declhie  hi  the  ViVlue  of 
property  per  acre  following  the  war  and  partly  to  the 
brealdng  up  of  plantations.

TENURE,  MORTGAGE  INDEBTEDNESS,  COLOR  AND  NATIVITY  OF  FARMERS,  AND 

SIZE  OF  FARMS. 


Introduction. — Tliis  chapter  shows  in  condensed  form 
the  main  results  of  the  Tliirteenth  Census  of  the  United 
States,  taken  as  of  April  15,1910,  with  reference  to  the 
tenure  of  farms,  the  mortgage  indebtedness  on  farms, 
the  color  and  nativity  of  farm  operators,  and  the  size 
of  farms,  presenting  statistics  by  geographic  divisions 
and  states.  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  Rico,  and  other 
outlying  possessions  are  not  included. 

Definitions. — One  of  the  most  important  branches 
of  agricultural  statistics  is  that  which  relates  to  the 
distribution  of  farms  and  farm  property  according 
to  the  tenure  under  which  the  farm  operator  holds 
the  land.  The  three  main  classes  of  farm  operators, 
on  the  basis  of  tenure,  are  (1)  owners,  (2)  hired 
managers,  and  (3)  tenants.  In  some  of  the  tables  a 
distinction  is  made  between  owners  who  operate  their 
own  land  exclusively  and  those  who  rent  additional 
land,  while  the  class  of  tenants  is  subdivided  into 


share  tenants,  share-cash  tenants,  and  cash  tenants. 
The  following  are  the  definitions  of  the  several  classes 
of  farm  operators,  substantially  as  furnished  to  the 
census  enumerators : 

Farm  owners  include  (1)  farmers  operating  their  own  land  only, 
and  (2)  those  operating  both  their  own  land  and  some  land  hired 
from  others. 

Managers  are  farmers  who  are  conducting  farm  operations  for 
the  owner  for  wages  or  a salary. 

Farm  tenants  are  farmers  who,  as  tenants,  renters,  or  croppers, 
operate  hired  land  only.  They  were  reported  in  1910  in  three 
classes:  (1)  Share  tenants — those  who  pay  a certain  share  of  the 
products,  as  one-half,  one-third,  or  one-quarter;  (2)  share-cash 
tenants — those  who  pay  a share  of  the  products  for  part  of  the  land 
rented  by  them  and  cash  for  part,  as  cash  for  pasture  or  garden 
and  a share  of  all  the  crops  grown  on  plowed  land;  and  (3)  cash 
tenajits — those  who  pay  a cash  rental  or  a stated  amount  of  labor 
or  products,  such  as  $7, 10  bushels  of  wheat,  or  100  pounds  of  seed 
cotton  per  acre.  All  tenants  who  did  not  specify  whether  they 
rented  for  cash  or  for  a share  of  the  products,  or  both,  are  tabu- 
lated as  having  “tenure  not  specified.’’ 


TENURE  OF  FARMS. 


Tenure  in  the  United  States  as  a whole:  1910  and 

1900. — Table  1 shows,  for  the  United  States  as  a 
whole,  the  number  of  farms  in  1910  classified  by 


tenure,  with , corresponding  data  for  1900  as  far  as 
available.  It  shows  also  the  acreage  of  the  farms  in 
the  three  main  groups.

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  in  1910  substan- 
tially five-eighths  (62.1  per  cent)  of  the  farms  were 
operated  by  owners  and  three-eighths  (37  per  cent) 
by  tenants,  the  proportion  operated  by  hired  man- 
agers being  less  than  1 per  cent.  Owners  ‘'owning 
entire  farm”  are  more  than  five  times  as  numerous 
as  owners  “renting  additional  land.”  In  most  cases 
of  share-cash  tenancy  the  share  feature  is  the  more 
important,  the  principal  crops  being  raised  on  shares, 


while  only  a small  amount  of  land,  usually  for  a home 
garden  or  for  pasture,  is  rented  on  the  basis  of  cash 
payment.  Share-cash  tenants  were  included  with 
share  tenants  in  1900,  while  tenants  for  whom  the  form 
of  payment  was  not  specified  were  included  with 
cash  tenants.  The  share  and  share-cash  tenants,  as 
reported,  together  constituted  substantially  two-thirds 
of  the  entire  number  of  tenants  both  in  1910  and  in 
1900.

ABSTRACT  OF  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


Between  1900  and  1910  the  farms  operated  by 
owners  increased  8.1  per  cent  in  number,  wliile  those 
operated  by  tenants  increased  16.3  per  cent,  the 
small  number  operated  by  managers  decreasing  1.7 
per  cent.  Tt  may  be  noted  that  at  least  since  1880 
(and  })robal)ly  further  ])ack  also)  the  fai'ins  o])erated 
by  tenants  bave  in  each  decade  increased  faster 
than  tho.se  o])eratcd  by  owners.  Tenant  farms  consti- 
tuted 25.6  per  cent  of  all  farms  in  1880;  28.4  per 
cent  in  1890;  35.3  per  cent  in  1900;  and  37  per  cent 
in  1910. 

The  distribution  of  acreage  of  farms  according  to 
tenure  differs  somewhat  from  the  distribution  of  the 


number  of  farms.  Farms  operated  by  owners  con- 
tained 68.1  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  in  1910; 
tenant  farms,  25.8  per  cent;  and  farms  operated  by 
managers,  6.1  per  cent.  The  acreage  of  farms  oper- 
ated by  owners  increased  7.6  per  cent  during  the 
decade  1900  to  1910,  while  that  of  tenant  farms  in- 
creased 16.1  per  cent.  There  was  a marked  decrease 
in  the  total  acreage  of  farms  operated  by  managers. 

Main  tenure  classes,  by  geographic  divisions:  1910 
and  1900. — -Table  2 shows  the  number,  total  and  im- 
proved acreage,  and  value  of  land  and  buildings  of 
the  farms  of  the  three  main  tenure  groups  in  each 
geograpliic  division  for  1910  and  1900.

As  rospocts  tlio  proportion  wliicli  tenant  farms  form 
of  tlio  total  numbor  of  farms,  tho  divisions  fall  into 
tbroo  groups.  The  throo  southern  divisions  (South 
Atlantic,  East  South  Central,  and  West  South  Cen- 
tral) have  a high  proportion  of  tenant  farms,  tho 
proportion  in  1910  exceeding  50  per  cent  in  the  last 
two  divisions  named.  In  three  of  the  northern  divi- 
sions (the  West  North  Central,  East  North  Central, 
and  Middle  Atlantic)  tho  numher  of  tenant  farms  is 
also  comparatively  large,  the  proportion  varying  in 
1910  from  30.9  per  cent  in  the  West  North  Central 
division  to  22.3  per  cent  in  tho  IMiddle  Atlantic. 
In  tho  two  western  divisions  (tho  Pacific  and  Moun- 
tain) and  in  the  New  England  division  the  proportion 
was  much  lower,  ranging  from  17.2  per  cent  in  the 
Pacific  division  to  8 per  cent  in  the  New  England. 

In  the  southern  divisions  the  average  size  of  tenant 
farms  is  much  smaller  than  that  of  farms  operated  by 
owners,  so  that  tho  proportion  which  tho  total  acreage 
of  tenant  farms  forms  of  tho  total  acreage  of  all  farms 
in  these  divisions  is  not  materially  cUfferent  from  the 
proportion  in  the  Middle  Atlantic,  East  North  Central, 
and  West  North  Central  divisions. 

The  numher  of  farms  operated  by  managers  is  small 
in  all  of  the  divisions,  the  liighost  proportion  being  in 
the  New  England  and  Pacific  divisions,  2.8  per  cent 
in  each  case.  In  tho  Mountain,  Pacific,  and  West  South 
Central  divisions,  however,  the  acreage  of  farms 


operated  by  managers  is  of  considerable  importance, 
constituting  18.5  per  cent,  15.4  per  cent,  and  11.0  per 
cent,  respectively,  of  the  total  acreage  in  farms. 

In  the  East  North  Central  and  West  North  Central 
divisions,  which  constitute  tho  most  important  farm- 
ing divisions  of  tho  countiy,  and  also  in  tho  three 
divisions  constituting  the  South,  tho  tenant  farms 
formed  a larger  proportion,  and  farms  operated  by 
owners  a smaller  proportion,  of  tho  total  number  of 
farms  in  1910  than  in  1900,  but  the  opposite  is  true  of 
the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions  in  the 
extreme  East,  and  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions 
in  tho  West.  Tho  proportion  which  the  acreage  of 
tenant  farms  represents  of  the  total  farm  acreage 
increased  in  all  divisions  except  the  New  England, 
Middle  Atlantic,  and  South  Atlantic,  which  show  a 
decrease  in  this  respect,  accompanied,  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  and  South  Atlantic  divisions,  by  an  increase 
in  the  proportion  of  the  acreage  in  farms  operated  by 
owners.  This  latter  class  of  farms  also  shows  an 
increase  in  its  proportion  of  the  total  acreage  in  tho 
Mountain,  Pacific,  and  West  South  Central  divisions, 
the  farms  operated  by  managers  constituting  the  only 
class  in  these  divisions  which  decreased  in  relative 
importance  as  measured  by  acreage. 

Table  3 shows,  by  divisions,  the  percentage  of  in- 
crease or  decrease  in  the  number  and  acreage  of  farms 
of  the  three  main  tenure  groups  from  1900  to  1910.

Table  4 shows,  by  divisions,  certain  averages  and 
percentages  which  reflect  differences  in  the  character- 
istics of  farms  operated  by  owners,  managers,  and 
tenants,  respectively. 

In  the  country  as  a whole  the  average  size  in  1910 
of  farms  operated  by  owners  was  151.6  acres;  of 
farms  operated  by  managers,  924.7  acres;  and  of 
tenant  farms,  96.2  acres.  The  farms  operated  by 
managers  are  in  all  geographic  divisions  materially 
larger  than  those  operated  by  owners  or  tenants,  but 
the  excess  in  the  size  of  farms  operated  by  owners 
over  that  of  tenant  farms,  which  appears  in  the  aver- 
age for  the  country  as  a whole,  is  by  no  means  found  in 
all  parts  of  the  country.  Farms  operated  by  owners 
are  somewhat  larger  than  those  operated  by  tenants 
in  the  West  North  Central  division  and  very  much 
larger  in  the  South,  but  on  the  other  hand,  in  the  three 


more  easterly  divisions  of  the  North  and  in  the 
Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions,  the  tenant  farms  are 
the  huger,  although  there  is  veiy  little  difference  in 
New  England.  Conditions  as  to  relative  size  were 
approximately  the  same  in  1900  as  in  1910.  The 
average  size  of  farms  operated  by  owners  decreased 
more  or  less  during  the  decade  in  all  divisions  except 
the  West  North  Cen trill,  while  that  of  tenant  farms 
increased  somewhat  in  the  Middle  Atlantic,  East 
North  Central,  West  North  Central,  and  West  South 
Central  divisions. 

The  ratio  which  the  acreage  of  improved  farm  land 
bears  to  the  total  farm  acreage  is  higher  in  the  case 
of  tenant  farms  than  in  the  case  of  farms  operated

This  condition  is  due  probably  to  the  fact  that  tenants 
in  most  cases  rent  only  that  land  of  wliicli  they  expect 


to  make  active  use,  and  therefore  hire  relatively  little 
unimproved  land.  In  every  division  the  percentage 
of  improved  land  in  the  farms  operated  by  managers  is 
lower  than  in  those  operated  by  owners,  this  condition 
beuig  closely  related  to  the  fact,  already  noted,  that 
the  farms  of  managers  are  generally  much  larger  than 
other  farms. 

Chiefly  because  they  consist  more  largely  of  im- 
proved land,  the  tenant  farms  have  in  every  geo- 
graphic division  a higher  average  value  of  land 
and  buildings  per  acre  of  land  than  the  farms  oper- 
ated by  owners.  Furthermore,  the  average  value 
of  land  and  buildings  per  farm  is  greater  for  tenant 
farms  than  for  farms  operated  by  owners,  except 
in  the  three  southern  divisions,  where  the  tenant 
farms  are  considerably  smaller  than  those  operated 
by  owners. 

Number  of  farms  for  all  tenure  groups,  by  divisions: 
1910  and  1900. — Table  5 shows,  for  1910  and  1900, 
by  divisions,  the  number  of  farms  in  each  of  the  major 
and  minor  tenure  groups. 

Farms  operated  by  owners  “owning  entire  farm” 
greatly  outnumber  those  operated  by  owners  “rent- 
ing additional  land”  in  all  divisions;  the  difference  is 
less  conspicuous  in  the  West  North  Central  division, 
where  there  were  nearly  one-tlrird  as  many  of  the  latter 
class  in  1910  as  of  the  former. 

In  every  division  the  farms  operated  by  owners 
“renting  additional  land”  increased  in  numbers  be- 
tween 1900  and  1910,  while  in  every  division  except 
the  Mountain  and  Pacific  the  farms  operated  by 
owners  “owmng  entire  farm”  either  decreased  or  in- 
creased less  rapidly  than  did  those  of  the  former  group. 
It  seems  to  be  an  increasing  practice  of  farmers  to 
extend  the  farms  they  operate  by  renting  land  in 
addition  to  what  they  own. 

In  every  geographic  division  except  the  New  Eng- 
land and  Pacific  divisions  (in  both  of  which  the  total 
number  of  tenants  is  comparatively  small)  the  num- 
ber of  share  tenants  materially  exceeds  the  number  of 
cash  tenants,  the  difference  being  still  more  conspicu- 
ous if  the  share-cash  tenants  arc  counted  with  those 
having  exclusively  a share  tenure.

such  farms  (including  those  of  share-cash  tenants) 
in  1910  constituted  78.7  per  cent  of  all  tenant

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 

FARM  MORTGAGES. 


The  inquiries  witli  inference  to  mortgage  debt  at 
each  of  the  last  thre(^  censuses  related  only  to  those 
farms  which  were  operated  by  their  owners,  and  no 
attempt  was  made  to  ascertain  the  total  number  of 
farms  which  were  mortgaged  or  the  total  amount  of 
mortgage  debt.  Tenants  or  hired  managers  are  not 
lik(dy  to  have  accui’ate  information  as  to  whether  the 
farms  tliey  operate  are  mortgaged,  and  still  less  as  to 
the  amount  of  mortgage  debt,  and  it  would  be  prac- 
tically impossible,  in  many  cases,  to  reach  the  owners 
of  such  farms  in  order  to  ascertain  these  facts.  In  the 
case  of  farms  of  owners  who  rent  additional  land,  the 
statement  as  to  the  amount  of  mortgage  debt  relates 
only  to  the  laml  owned  by  the  operator.  Such  farms 
are  included  in  all  of  the  statistics  dealing  with  the 
number  of  farms  mortgaged,  but  not  in  those  relating 
to  the  amount  of  mortgage  debt. 

Number  of  farms  mortgaged. — The  statistics  with 
reference  to  the  numl)er  of  farms  mortgaged  for  the 
past  three  censuses  are  not  precisely  comparable, 
although  nearly  so.  At  the  census  of  1910  questions 
as  to  mortgage  debt  applied  to  all  farms  operated  by 
ownei-s,  while  at  the  two  preceding  censuses  they 
applied  only  to  the  slightly  smaller  class  of  “owned 


farm  homes” — that  is,  farms  occupied  by  their  owners 
as  homes. 

Table  7 shows,  for  the  United  States  as  a whole  for 
the  last  three  censuses,  the  actual  returns  with  regard 
to  the  number  of  farms  or  farm  homes  operated  or 
occupied  by  their  owners  which  were  free  from  mort- 
gage and  mortgaged,  respectively.

At  the  census  of  1900  there  were  many  more  cases 
of  failure  to  report  the  presence  or  absence  of  mort- 
gage indebtedness  than  at  the  census  of  1910  or  of 
1890.  While  the  proportion  free  from  mortgage  or 
mortgaged  can  be  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the  actual 
reports,  it  would  not  be  proper  to  compute  the  increase 
in  the  number  of  farms  in  each  of  these  classes  with- 
out first  distributing  in  proper  proportion  the  farms 
for  which  no  report  was  secured  between  the  two 
groups.  This  has  been  done  in  Table  8,  which  pre- 
sents statistics  by  divisions.

farm  liomes  occupied  by  their  owners. 


In  making  comparisons  between  geographic  divi- 
sions and  between  censuses,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  i.he  fact  of  mortgage  indebtedness  is  not  neces- 
sarily an  indication  of  lack  of  jirosperity.  There  can 
b('  no  question  but  that  American  farmers  generally 
were  more  prosperous  in  1910  t han  at.  t he  two  pre- 
ceding censuses,  and  yet  in  that  year  a larger  propor- 
tion of  the  farms  were  mortgaged.  The  proportion 
of  mortgage  indebtedness  is  higher  in  Iowa  and  Wis- 
consin tlian  in  any  of  the  other  states,  and  yet  these 
states  are  among  the  most  prosperous  in  agriculture. 
Althougli  in  some  cases  mortgages  are  placed  on  farms 
because  of  jioor  crops  or  other  misfortunes  or  because 
of  mismanagement,  they  often  repre.sent  an  unpaid 
portion  of  the  cost  of  the  farm  itself  or  money  ex-

pondocl  for  julditioniil  land  or  for  biiildin<j;s  and  ollior

countiy  as  to  land  titles  and  as  to  availability  of 
public  lands  for  scttloincnt  in  some  cases  affect  the 
pro])ortion  of  farms  niortgaj'ed. 


NUMBER  OF  FARMS  OPERATED  BY  THEIR  OWNERS, 
FREE  FROM  MORTGAGE  AND  MORTGAGED:  1910. 


In  the  United  States  as  a whole  the  number  of 
farms  or  farm  homes  operated  or  occupied  by  their 
owners  which  were  free  from  mortgage  increased  much 
less  rapidly  during  each  of  the  last  two  census  decades 
than  the  number  mortgaged.  The  proportion  mort- 


gaged was  28.2  per  cent  in  1890,  31.1  per  cent  in  1900, 
and  33.6  per  cent  in  1910. 

In  1910  the  proportion  mortgaged  was  highest  (46.1 
per  cent)  in  the  West  North  Ccmtral  division.  The 
lowest  proportions,  18.8  per  cent,  22.7  ])er  cent,  and 
20.8  per  cent,  respectively,  were  in  the  South  Atlantic, 
hhist  South  Central,  and  Mountain  divisions. 

In  every  geographic  division  e.xcept  the  Middle 
Atlantic  the  proportion  of  farms  mortgaged  was 
greater  in  1910  than  in  1900,  and  in  every  division 
except  the  West  North  Central  the  proportion  was 
greater  in  1910  than  in  1890.  The  most  conspicuous  in- 
crease in  the  proportion  of  farms  mortgaged  has  been 
in  the  three  southern  divisions,  and  it  is  very  likely 
that  increased  confidence  of  lenders  in  the  titles 
to  land  and  in  the  ability  of  the  farmers  to  pay  their 
debts  has  had  much  to  do  with  this  change. 

Amount  of  mortgage  debt.— Table  10  shows,  by  di- 
visions, for  1910,  the  number  of  farms  operated  by 
owners  owning  their  entire  farm  and  for  which  the 
amount  of  mortgage  debt  was  reported,  together  with 
the  total  value  of  the  land  and  buildings  of  such  farms, 
and  the  amount  of  debt.  For  1890  it  shows  the  total 
number  of  owned  farm  homes  mortgaged  (including 
those  of  owners  who  rented  additional  land) , with  the 
value  of  the  land  and  buildings,  and  the  amount  of 
mortgage  indebtedness  (including  estimates).  The 
census  statistics  with  reference  to  the  amount  of  mort- 
gage debt  do  not  cover  all  the  mortgaged  farms  reported. 
In  some  cases  the  enumerators  were  able  to  ascertain 
that  a farm  was  mortgaged,  but  were  unable  to  secure 
a statement  of  the  amount  of  indebtedness.  Further, 
the  statistics  relative  to  the  amount  of  indebtedness 
do  not  include  the  farms  operated  b}^  owners  who 
rent  additional  land,  which  make  up  a considerable 
number.  In  the  case  of  these  farms  the  report  as  to 
the  amount  of  debt  would  necessarily  relate  only  to 
the  land  which  was  owned  by  the  operator,  and  it 
would  be  improper  to  compare  it  with  the  entire  vaJue 
of  the  farm,  including  that  of  the  hired  land.  The 
total  number  of  mortgaged  farms  operated  by  owners, 
including  those  who  rent  additional  land,  in  the  United

FARM  MORTGAGES. 


295 


States  in  1910  was  1,327,439,  but  the  number  for  wliicli 
statistics  regarding  the  amount  of  indebtedness  have 
been  compiled  is  only  1,006,511. 

No  statistics  of  the  amount  of  moi-tgage  indebted- 
ness on  farms  were  collected  at  the  census  of  1900,  but 
such  statistics  were  collected  in  1890.  In  the  pub- 
lished reports  of  that  census,  however,  the  amount  of 
mortgage  indebtedness  on  farms  with  incomplete 
reports  was  estimated.  Moreover,  the  farms  of  owners 
who  rented  additional  land  were  included  in  the  statis- 
tics. Consequently,  the  statistics  of  absolute  amounts 
of  mortgage  debt  for  1890  are  not  comparable  with 
those  for  1910.  On  the  other  hand,  the  ratio  which 
the  mortgage  indebtedness  bears  to  the  value  of  the 
mortgaged  farms  is  reasonably  comparable  for  the  two 
censuses. 

The  total  value  of  the  land  and  buildings  of  the 
1,006,511  farms  shown  for  1910  was  $6,330,000,000, 
and  the  amount  of  debt  was  $1,726,000,000,  or  27.3 
per  cent  of  the  value.  The  corresponding  proportion 
in  1890,  as  shown  in  the  reports,  was  35.5  per  cent,  and 
to  make  this  figure  strictly  comparable  it  would  pre- 
sumably have  to  be  increased  slightly.  There  was 
thus  during  the  20  years  a marked  diminution  in  the 


relative  importance  of  mortgage  debt.  This  decline 
in  the  ratio  of  debt  to  value  is  primarily  due  to  the 
very  rapid  increase  in  the  value  of  land  in  farms. 
The  average  amount  of  mortgage  indebtedness  per 
farm  increased  from  $1,224  in  1890  to  $1,715  in  1910, 
but  the  average  owner’s  equity  per  farm  increased 
from  $2,220  to  $4,574,  or  more  than  doubled. 

In  1910  there  was  no  very  great  difference  among 
the  several  geographic  divisions  with  respect  to  the 
ratio  of  indebtedness  to  the  value  of  land  and  build- 
ings, the  highest  ratio  being  34.5  per  cent  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division,  and  the  lowest  23.4  per  cent 
in  the  Pacific  division.  In  every  division  the  ratio  of 
indebtedness  to  value  was  materially  lower  in  1910 
than  in  1890,  when  in  five  of  the  divisions  it  exceeded 
40  per  cent. 

Statistics  by  states. — Table  11  presents,  by  divisions 
and  states,  statistics  of  the  number  of  farms  mortgaged 
for  1910,  with  comparative  percentages  for  1900  and 
1890,  and  of  the  value  of  mortgaged  farms  and  the 
amount  of  mortgage  debt  for  1910,  with  comparative 
percentages  for  1890.  The  percentages  showing  the 
relative  number  of  mortgaged  farms  in  each  state  in 
1910  are  shown  graphically  in  the  diagram  on  page  293.

state,  the  nundier  of  farms  in  1910  o])crated  by  native 
whites,  foreign-l)orn  whites,  and  colored  persons 
(negroes,  Indians,  (-hinese,  and  dapanese),  respec- 
tively, the  farms  in  each  group  being  further  classified 
according  to  the  tenure  of  the  operator.  The  diagram 
shows,  by  states,  tbe  number  of  farms  classified  by 
color  and  nativity  of  operator  in  1910. 

Table  12  shows  the  jiercentage  of  the  total  number 
of  farm  operators  in  each  geographic  division  in  1910 
rejiresented  by  native  whites,  foreign-born  whites,  and 
colored  persons,  respectivelv,  and  also  a similar  distri- 
bution of  the  farm  owners  and  of  the  farm  tenants. 
The  distribution  of  farm  managers,  wliich  is  less 
significant  on  account  of  their  small  number,  is  not

Of  the  6, 361, .502  farms  in  the  United  States  as  a 
whole  in  1910,  4,771,063,  or  75  per  cent,  were  operated 
by  native  white  farmers;  669,556,  or  10.5  per  cent,  by 
foreign-born  w’hites;  and  920,883,  or  14.5  per  cent,  by 
negroes  and  other  non  whites.  These  percentages  may 
be  comjiared  with  those  showing  the  distribution  of  the 
total  male  population  of  voting  age.  Of  the  males  21 
years  of  age  and  over  in  the  United  States  in  1910, 
65.6  per  cent  were  native  whites,  24.6  per  cent  foreign- 
born  whites,  and  9.8  per  cent  colored. 

The  colored  farmers  are  for  the  most  part  in  the 
Southern  states.  In  the  South  Atlantic  and  East 
South  Central  divisions  nearly  one-third  of  the  farm 
operators  are  colored,  and  in  the  West  South  Central 
between  one-fourth  and  one-fifth;  while  in  each  of  the 
four  divisions  constituting  the  North  the  proportion 
is  below  1 per  cent,  and  in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific 
divisions  (where  this  cla.ss  of  farmers  is  made  up  chiefly 


of  Indians,  Chinese,  and  Japanese)  the  proportions 
are  only  4.4  per  cent  and  2.5  per  cent,  respectively. 
Nearly  all  of  the  foreign-boim  white  farmers  are  in 
the  North  and  West.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Table  13  brin{?s  out  tlio  fact  that  in  each  of  the 
geographic  divisions  except  New  England  a larger 
proportion  of  the  foreign-born  white  fanners  than  of 
the  native  white  own  their  farms,  the  percentages  for 
the  United  States  as  a whole  in  1910  being,  respec- 
tively, 81 .4  and  00. 3.  This  difference  is  largely  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  foreign-born  white  farmers  are  on  the 
average  considerably  older  than  the  native  white. 
Most  of  the  former  have  been  in  this  country  a good 
many  years,  as  comparatively  few  of  the  more  recent 
immigrants  have  gone  to  the  famis.  A large  propor- 
tion of  the  native  white  tenants  consist  of  young  men. 


sons  of  farmers,  who  have  only  recently  begun  the 
independent  operation  of  farms,  and  who  expect  to 
buy  land  later.  In  the  country  as  a whole  the  pro- 
portion of  owners  is  very  much  lower  among  colored 
farmers  (26.2  per  cent  in  1910)  than  among  either  the 
native  white  or  the  foreign-born  white;  but  there  is 
a great  difference  in  tliis  respect  between  the  South 
and  the  rest  of  the  country. 

Numbelt  of  farmers,  classified  by  color:  1910  and  1900. — 
Table  15  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  for  1910  and 
1900,  the  number  of  farm  operators  who  were  whites, 
negroes,  Indians,  Cliinese,  and  Japanese,  respectively.

In  the  country  as  a whole  the  number  of  negro 
farmers  increased  much  more  rapidly  between  1900 
and  1910  than  that  of  white  farmers,  the  respective 
percentages  of  increase  being  19.6  and  9.5.  Only  1.4 
per  cent  of  all  the  negro  farmers  in  1910  were  outside 
of  the  three  divisions  constituting  the  South,  and  it 
is  noteworthy  that  the  number  in  the  North  was 
smaller  in  1910  than  in  1900.  The  number  of  Cliinese 


and  Japanese  farmers  at  both  censuses  was  small  but 
the  latter  made  a remarkable  increase  during  the  dec- 
ade, wliile  the  former  fell  off  considerably  in  number. 

Country  of  birth  of  white  farmers:  1910. — Table  16 
shows,  for  1910,  by  geographic  divisions,  the  number 
of  white  farm  operators  born  in  each  of  the  leading 
countries  from  which  the  United  States  receives 
immigrants.

COLOR  AND  NATIVITY  OF  FARMERS 


299 


Tho  foroign  countries  wliicli  have  contributed  the 
largest  number  of  farm  operators  to  the  United  States 
are  Germany,  Sweden,  Canada,  Norway,  England, 
Ireland,  Austria,  Denmark,  and  Russia,  in  the  order 
named.  It  should  be  noted  that  this  order  by  no 
means  corresponds  to  the  order  in  which  the  various 
foreign  countries  liave  contributed  to  the  total  popula- 
tion of  the  United  States. 

The  immigrants  from  certain  countries,  notably 
Ireland,  Italy,  and  Russia,  have  nearly  all  gone  into 
pursuits  other  than  agricultural. 

Color  and  tenure  of  fanners  in  the  South:  1910  and 
1900. — On  account  of  the  large  number  of  colored 
farmers  in  the  South,  more  detailed  statistics  regarding 
the  two  principal  race  groups  are  presented  for  that 
section  than  for  the  North  and  West. 

Table  17  shows,  for  the  South  as  a whole  and  for 
each  of  the  geographic  divisions  composing  it,  the 
number,  total  and  improved  acreage,  and  value  of 
land  and  buildings  in  1910  and  1900,  for  farms  of 


white  and  colored  farmers,  respectively,  with  a further 
classification  according  to  tenure.  It  also  sliows, 
by  percentages,  the  distribution  of  the  respective 
totals  between  the  two  color  groups  and  among  the 
six  subgroups  formed  by  combination  of  the  tenure 
classification  with  that  according  to  color. 

In  tlic  South  as  a whole  in  1910  white  farmers  con- 
stituted 71.3  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  farmers 
and  colored  farmers  28.7  per  cent.  Of  the  total  farm 
acreage,  however,  88  per  cent  was  in  farms  operated 
by  white  and  12  per  cent  in  farms  operated  by  colored 
farmers;  and  of  the  improved  land  in  farms,  81.G  per 
cent  was  in  farms  operated  by  white  farmers  and  18.4 
per  cent  in  farms  operated  by  colored  farmers. 

Wliites  constituted  a smaller  proportion  of  the  total 
number  of  farmers  and  the  farms  operated  by  them 
contained  a smaller  proportion  of  the  total  land  in 
farms  in  1910  than  in  1900,  but  there  was  no  change 
in  the  proportion  of  improved  land  in  farms  operated 
by  the  two  race  groups.

Table  18,  on  the  following  page,  shows  percentages 
of  increase  based  on  the  preceding  table. 

The  number  of  colored  farmers  in  the  South 
increased  20.2  per  •cent  during  the  decade  1900  to 
1910,  as  compared  with  an  increase  of  17.4  per  cent 


in  the  number  of  white  farmers.  The  acreage  of  land 
in  farms  operated  by  white  farmers  decreased  some- 
what in  each  geographic  division  of  the  South,  while 
the  acreage  in  farms  operated  by  colored  farmers 
increased  in  each  of  the  three  divisions,  the  percentages

The  number  of  tenants  in  the  South,  both  white 
and  colored,  increased  more  rapidly  between  1900  and 
1910  than  the  number  of  farm  owners.  In  the  case 
of  farms  operated  by  white  farmers,  the  total  acreage, 
improved  acreage  and  value  of  land  and  buildings 
also  increased  more  rapidly  for  tenant  farms  than  for

In  Table  19  the  number,  total  and  improved  acre- 
age, and  value  of  land  and  buildings  of  farms  operated 
by  white  farmers  are  distributed  by  percentages 
among  the  three  tenure  classes,  and  a corresponding 
disti’ibution  is  made  for  the  farms  operated  by  colored 
farmers.  The  percentages  therefore  have  a different 
significance  from  those  shown  in  Table  17.  and  afford 
a more  convenient  means  of  comparing  conditions 
among  the  white  and  the  colored  farmers. 

In  1910,  60.1  per  cent  of  the  white  fanners  in  the 
South  as  a whole  were  owners,  as  against  24.5  per 
cent  of  the  colored  farmers.  The  proportion  of  the 
total  farm  acreage  which  was  in  farms  operated  by 
owners  was  68.9  per  cent  for  farms  operated  by  white 
farmers  and  36.8  per  cent  for  those  operated  by  col- 
ored farmers. 

The  changes  between  1900  and  1910  with  regard  to 
the  number,  acreage,  and  value  of  farms  operated  by 
the  two  race  groups,  respectively,  in  the  South  Atlantic 
and  East  South  Central  divisions  were  quite  different 
from  those  in  the  West  South  Central  division. 

In  the  South  as  a whole,  among  both  white  and 
colored  farm  operators,  owners  reported  a larger  pro- 
portion of  the  total  farm  acreage  in  1910  than  in 
1900.  In  the  case  of  white  farmers  the  proportion 
of  land  in  tenant  farms  also  increased,  while  there  was 
a marked  decrease  in  the  proportion  of  land  in  farms 
oj)erated  by  white  managers  (mainly  due  to  a large 
decrease  in  the  West  South  Central  division).  In  the 
case  of  colored  fariiH'rs  however  the  proportion  of 
land  which  was  in  tenant  farms  was  lower  in  1910 
than  in  1900.

Table  20  sliows  the  average  total  and  improved 
acreage  per  farm,  the  average  value  of  land  and  build- 
ings per  farm  and  per  acre,  and  the  percentage  of  farm 
land  improved,  for  farms  classified  according  to  the 
color  and  tenure  of  the  farmer. 

In  the  South  as  a whole  the  average  size  of  the  farms 
operated  by  white  farmer%  in  1910  (141.3  acres)  was 
nearly  three  times  as  great  as  that  of  the  farms  oper- 
ated by  colored  farmers  (47.9  acres).  The  difference 
was  less  marked  in  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South 
Central  divisions  than  in  the  West  South  Central. 
The  farms  operated  by  white  owners  comprised  on  an 
average  162.1  acres,  and  those  operated  by  colored 
owners  71.8  acres,  while  the  farms  of  white  tenants 
averaged  83.8  acres  in  size  and  those  of  colored  tenants 
39.6  acres.  Between  1900  and  1910  the  average  size 
of  farms  operated  by  white  owners  decreased,  while 
that  of  farms  operated  by  colored  owners  increased. 
On  the  other  hand,  colored  tenants  as  well  as  white 
tenants  had  smaller  farms  in  1910  than  in  1900. 

Wliile  the  farms  of  colored  farmers  are  smaller  than 
those-  of  the  whites,  they  consist  more  largely  of 
improved  land.  In  the  South  as  a whole  in  1910  the 
proportion  of  improved  land  for  the  farms  of  white 
farmers  was  39.4  per  cent,  as  compared  with  65.1  per 
cent  for  the  farms  of  colored  farmers.  The  differences  in 
this  respect,  however,  are  less  conspicuous  when  farms 
of  similar  tenure  are  compared. 


In  the  South  as  a whole  the  average  value  of  land 
and  buildings  per  acre  was  in  1910  higher  for  farms 
of  colored  farmers  than  for  those  of  white  farmers — 
$21.13  as  compared  with  $20.69.  This  is  the  effect 
of  conditions  in  the  West  South  Central  division,  the 
average  value  being  higher  for  farms  of  wliite 
farmers  in  the  other  two  divisions  of  the  South. 
Between  1900  and  1910  there  was  a great  increase  in 
the  average  value  per  acre  in  the  case  of  farms  of  all 
three  classes  of  tenure  operated  by  farmers  of  both 
color  groups.  In  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South 
Central  div  isions  the  relative  increases  were  in  most  cases 
somewhat  more  marked  for  farms  operated  by  colored 
farmers  than  for  those  operated  by  whites,  while  in  the 
West  South  Central  division  the  opposite  was  the  case. 

In  the  South  as  a whole  the  average  value  of  land 
and  buildings  per  farm  in  1910  for  farms  operated  by 
white  farmers  was  $2,923,  or  nearly  three  times  the 
average  value  for  farms  operated  by  colored  farmers, 
which  was  $1,011.  The  percentage  of  increase  be- 
tween 1900  and  1910,  however,  was  somewhat  greater 
in  the  average  value  for  farms  of  colored  farmers  than 
in  that  for  farms  of  white  farmers. 

Table  21,  on  the  next  page,  shows,  for  each  of  the 
Southern  states,  the  number,  total  and  improved  acre- 
age, and  value  of  land  and  buildings  of  farms  operated 
by  white  and  by  colored  farmers,  wdth  a further  distinc- 
tion according  to  tenure.

FARMS,  CLASSIFIED  BY  SIZE. 


In  adopting  the  size  groups  into  which  farms  arc 
classiiicd,  the  Census  Ihireau  lias  taken  account  of  the 
fact  that  in  large  sections  of  the  country  the  boundaries 
of  very  many  of  the  farms  correspond  more  or  less 
closely  to  the  Government  surveys  of  public  land. 
The  Government  land  has  for  the  most  jiart  been  sold 
or  otherwise  disposed  of  in  ejuarter  sections,  containing 
160  acres  or  approximately  that  amount;  and  where 
these  have  been  broken  up  they  have  commonly  been 


subdivided  into  “quarter-quarters,”  or  40-acre  tracts. 
The  greater  number  of  farms,  therefore,  in  a large 
[lart  of  the  country,  contain  either  100  acres  or  some 
other  multiple  of  40  acres. 

United  States  as  a whole:  1910  and  1900. — Table

This  table  shows  that  in  1910  more  than  two-thirds 
of  the  farms  of  the  country  (68.6  per  cent)  were  between 
20  and  175  acres  in  size.  The  most  numerous  single 
group  was  that  comprising  farms  of  100  to  174  acres, 
which  constituted  23.8  per  cent  of  the  total  number. 
Farms  of  50  to  99  acres,  and  those  of  20  to  49  acres, 
which  comprised  22.6  per  cent  and  22.2  per  cent, 
respectively,  of  the  total  number,  were  nearly  as 
numerous. 

The  distribution  of  the  total  acreage  of  farms  among 
the  several  size  groups  is  of  course  radically  different 
from  the  distribution  of  the  number  of  farms.  Farms 
of  175  to  499  acres,  which  in  1910  formed  only  15.4  per 
cent  of  the  whole  number  of  farms,  contained  30.2  per 
cent  of  the  total  farm  acreage  of  the  country,  and  con- 
stituted the  most  important  group  with  respect  to 
acreage.  Farms  of  100  to  174  acres  ranked  next  in 
importance  in  this  respect.  These  two  groups  together 
comprised  somewhat  over  one-half  (53.6  per  cent)  of 
the  total  acreage.  Next  to  these  groups  in  acreage 
were  the  farms  of  1,000  acres  and  over,  which  are 
chiefly  found  in  the  West,  and  which  comprised  19  per 
cent  of  the  total  acreage,  but  only  0.8  per  cent  of  the 
total  number.  On  the  other  hand,  farms  under  20 
acres  in  size,  although  relatively  numerous  (represent- 
ing 13.2  per  cent  of  the  total  number),  comprised  only 
1 per  cent  of  the  farm  acreage  of  the  country. 

The  only  group  in  which  the  number  of  farms  de- 
creased absolutely  between  1900  and  1910  is  that  con- 
sisting of  places  under  3 acres  in  size,  which  at  both 


censuses  were  few  in  number.  The  number  of  such 
places  shown  for  1910  is  56.4  per  cent  smaller  than 
that  showTi  for  1900,  and  there  was  a decrease  in 
this  group  in  every  geographic  division  except  the 
Mountain  division.  This  decrease,  however,  is  with- 
out question  due  chiefly,  if  not  wholly,  to  changes 
in  the  census  definition  of  what  constitutes  a farm,  and 
no  conclusion  of  value  can  be  drawn  from  the  data. 

In  both  number  and  acreage,  farms  of  the  groups 
from  50  to  174  acres  increased  less  rapidly  between 
1900  and  1910  than  those  of  the  groups  from  3 to  49 
acres  or  from  175  to  999  acres.  Farms  of  1,000  acres 
and  over  mcreased  somewhat  in  number,  but  com- 
prised a smaller  acreage  in  1910  than  in  1900.  Con- 
sequently the  percentages  showing  the  distribution  of 
the  number  and  acreage  of  farms  among  size  groups 
for  1910  differ  somewhat  from  those  for  1900.  It 
may  be  noted  that  in  a general  way  the  changes  dur- 
ing the  past  decade  with  reference  to  the  relative  im- 
portance of  farms  of  the  different  size  groups  are  con- 
tinuations of  changes  which  have  been  going  on  at 
least  since  1880  and  possibly  for  a longer  time.

The  three  northeastern  divisions  of  the  country  tlie 
New  p]ngland  Middle  Atlantic,  and  P^ast  North  (Um- 
tral,  show  in  general  somewhat  similar  conditions 
with  respect  to  the  size  of  farms.  In  each  the  farms  of 
50  to  99  acres  constituted  in  1910  the  most  numerous 
group  and  those  of  100  to  174  acres  the  next  most 
numerous.  The  group  comprising  farms  of  100  to  174 
acres  is  first  in  importance  as  respects  acreage  in  two 
of  these  divisions  and  second  in  the  other.  The  West 
North  Central  division,  which  has  been  more  recently 
settled,  differs  considerably  from  the  other  three 
northern  divisions.  In  this  division  the  most  nu- 
merous group  is  that  comprising  farms  of  100  to  174 
acres  and  the  most  important  group  from  the  stand 
point  of  acreage  is  that  comprising  farms  of  175  to  499 
acres.  In  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South  Central 
divisions  conditions  in  regard  to  size  of  farms  are  ap- 
proximately alike.  In  each  the  small  farms  of  20  to 
49  acres  are  the  most  numerous,  but  the  farms  of  175 
to  499  acres  contain  a larger  proportion  of  the  total 
acreage  than  any  other  group.  In  the  West  South 
Central,  Mountain,  and  Pacific  divisions,  in  wliich 
there  are  still  many  great  stock  ranches,  the  farms  of 
1 000  acres  and  over  are  the  most  important  in  acreage. 
In  the  West  South  Central  di\dsion,  however  because 
of  the  presence  of  many  small  tenant  farms  in  the  cot- 
ton belt,  the  group  comprising  farms  of  20  to  49  acres 
is  more  numerous  than  any  other;  in  the  Pacific  divi- 
sion because  of  the  many  small  fruit  farms,  the  farms 
of  less  than  20  acres  form  the  most  numerous  group; 
and  in  the  Mountain  division  farms  of  100  to  174  acres 
lead  in  number. 

Comparing  the  percentages  for  1910  in  this  table 
witli  those  for  1900  it  may  be  seen  that  the  groups 
which  stood  first  and  second,  respectively,  in  number 
and  those  which  stood  first  and  second  in  acreage  were 
in  almost  every  division  the  same  at  both  censuses. 
Nevertheless  there  have  been  considerable  changes 
in  the  relative  importance  of  some  of  the  groups.  In 
all  of  the  divisions  except  the  West  North  Central  the 
number  of  farms  of  1 000  acres  and  over  was  either 
relatively  less  in  1910  than  in  1900  or  maintained  the 
same  proportion;  and  in  all  of  the  divisions  except  New 
England  these  large  farms  contained  a smaller  propor- 
tion of  the  total  acreage  of  farm  land  at  the  later  cen- 
sus than  at  the  earlier.  On  the  other  hand,  in  all  ex- 
cept the  West  South  Central  and  Mountain  divisions, 
farms  of  less  than  20  acres  constituted  a larger  propor- 
tion of  the  total  number  in  1910  than  in  1900.  and  in 
all  except  the  East  and  West  North  Central  and  Moun- 
tain divisions — in  wliich  the  proportion  was  the  same 
at  both  censuses — such  farms  contained  a larger  pro- 
portion of  the  acreage  in  the  later  year  than  in  the 
earlier.  Other  changes  were  less  nearly  uniform 
among  the  divisions.  In  the  South  Atlantic  and  East 
South  Central  divisions  the  small  farms  of  less  than  20 
acres  were  of  relatively  greater  importance  in  number 
72407  13 20 


and  acreage  in  1910  than  in  1900,  on  account  of  the 
continued  breaking  up  of  plantations  into  smaller 
farms,  chiefly  operated  by  tenant.-j.  In  the  West 
South  Central  and  Mountain  divisions  the  breaking  up 
of  many  ranches  of  1 000  acres  and  over  has  been  ac- 
companied by  an  increase  in  the  n'lative  importance, 
as  measured  by  aiu-eage  of  all  of  the  other  size  groups, 
and  the  same  is  true,  for  the  most  part,  of  the  Pacific 
division. 

Table  24  shows,  by  divisions,  the  percentage  of  in- 
crease in  number  and  acreage  for  farms  of  the  size 
groups  shown  in  the  preceding  table.

Table  25,  on  the  following  page,  shows,  by  geograpliic 
divisions,  the  percentage  which  improved  land  forms 
of  all  farm  land  in  each  size  group,  and  the  average 
value  of  land  and  buildings  per  farm  and  per  acre. 

As  might  be  expected,  small  farms  have,  in  general, 
a higher  percentage  of  improved  land  than  large  farms. 
In  the  United  States  as  a whole,  in  1910,  90.9  per  cent 
of  the  acreage  of  the  farms  under  20  acres  in  size  con- 
sisted of  improved  land,  while  only  18.7  per  cent  of  the 
acreage  of  farms  of  1 ,000  acres  and  over  was  improved. 

The  differences  among  the  several  size  groups  with 
reference  to  tlie  proportion  of  farm  land  improved 
naturally  tend  to  bring  about  corresponding  differences 
in  the  average  value  of  all  farm  land  per  acre.  More- 
over, the  largest  farms  are  commonly  in  sections  of 
the  country  not  easily  accessible  to  markets,  where 
land  values  are  relatively  low.  Furthermore,  on  the 
smaller  farms  buildings  are  in  most  cases  of  relatively 
greater  importance  than  on  the  larger  farms.  Conse- 
quently it  is  not  surprising  that  in  the  United  States 
as  a whole  the  average  value  of  land  and  buildings  per 


306 


ABSTRA(rr  OF  THE  CENSUS-AGRICULTURE 


acre  in  farms  ranged  in  1910  from  $148.90  for  farms  of 
less  than  20  acres  to  $13.92  for  farms  of  1,000  acres 


and  over,  and  that  the  average  value  per  acre  decreases 
uniformly  as  the  size  of  the  farms  increases.

LIVE  STOCK  ON  EAKMS  AND  ELSEWHERE. 


Introduction. — Tliis  chapter  presents  in  condensed 
form  the  main  results  of  the  enumeration  of  live  stock 
in  the  United  States  made  as  of  April  15,  1910,  giving 
the  statistics  by  geograpliic  divisions  and  by  states. 

The  census  of  agriculture  deals  in  general  only  with 
farms,  but  in  the  case  of  domestic  animals  it  includes 
also  those  not  on  farms  (mainly  in  cities  and  villages), 
although  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  collect  statis- 
tics of  poultry  or  bees  other  than  on  farms.  This 
chapter  presents  first  the  statistics  of  live  stock  on 
farms,  and  later,  in  more  condensed  form,  the  statis- 
tics of  domestic  animals  not  on  farms,  and  concludes 
with  the  combined  totals  for  domestic  animals  on 
farms  and  elsewhere. 


The  term  “live  stock”  as  used  in  the  censuses  of 
1910  and  1900  comprises  the  common  farm  animals 
(cattle,  horses,  mules,  asses  and  bun-os,  swine,  sheep, 
and  goats),  together  with  poultry  and  bees.  It  is 
obvious  that  in  the  consideration  of  live  stock  as  a 
whole,  no  combination  of  the  numbers  of  the  different 
classes  into  one  total  would  have  any  significance.  No 
comparison  can  be  made  except  on  the  basis  of  value. 
It  should  be  noted,  however,  that  the  increase  in  the 
aggregate  value  of  live  stock  from  1900  to  1910  is 
due  chiefly  to  the  increase  in  the  average  value  per 
head  of  the  live  stock  reported,  as  there  has  been  no 
great  increase  in  ntimber  in  any  important  class,  while 
some  classes  show  a decrease. 


ALL  LIVE  STOCK  ON  FARMS. 


Table  7,  page  312,  presents  statistics  of  the  value  of 
live  stock  on  farms  at  the  last  two  censuses  by  geo- 
graphic divisions  and  states.  Data  relating  to  domestic 
animals  not  on  farms  will  be  found  on  page  337,  and  a 
combination  of  the  figures  for  all  animals  both  on 
farms  and  elsewhei-e  on  page  342. 

The  total  value  of  all  live  stock  on  farms  in  the 
United  States  on  April  15,  1910,  was  S4, 925,000, 000. 
Of  this  total,  $4,760,000,000,  or  96.6  per  cent,  repre- 
sented the  value  of  domestic  animals.  During  the 
decade  the  value  of  live  stock  on  farms  increased 
nearly  $1,850,000,000,  or  60.1  per  cent.  During  the 
same  period  the  total  value  of  farm  property  increased 
100.5  per  cent,  the  rate  of  increase  in  the  principal 
constituent  element,  the  value  of  land,  being  118.1 
per  cent,  or  nearly  twice  as  great  as  for  live  stock. 
The  increase  in  the  value  of  live  stock  above  noted 
was  shared  by  every  geographic  division.  Much 
the  largest  absolute  increases  were  in  the  West  North 
Central  and  the  East  North  Central  divisions,  though 
in  percentage  of  increase  the  Pacific  division  ranked 
highest,  closely  followed  by  the  South  Atlantic. 

Table  1 in  tlie  next  column  gives  statistics  as  to  the 
value  of  live  stock  on  farms  for  certain  larger  sections 
of  the  country.  The  North,  as  the  term  is  used  in 
this  chapter,  includes  the  New  England,  Middle 
Atlantic,  East  North  Central,  and  West  North  Central 
divisions;  the  South  includes  the  South  Atlantic, 
East  South  Central,  and  West  South  Central;  and  the 
West,  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions. 

The  North  shows  a greater  absolute  increase  in  the 
value  of  aU  live  stock  than  the  South  and  the  West 


combined,  but  the  percentage  of  increase  is  somewhat 
lower  in  that  section  than  in  either  of  the  others.

The  next  statement  shows  by  percentages  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  United  States  totals  given  in  Table  7 
among  the  geographic  divisions  and  sections  of  the 
country.  To  aid  in  interpreting  these  figures  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  total  land  in  farms  and  of  the  total 
improved  land  is  also  shown. 

The  distribution  of  the  value  ot  live  stock  corre- 
sponds in  general  more  closely  to  the  distribution  of 
improved  land  than  to  that  of  all  land  in  farms,  the 
only  conspicuous  exception  being  in  the  Mountain 
division.  The  West  North  Central,  East  North  Cen- 
tral, and  West  South  Central  divisions  are  the  most 
important  from  the  standpoint  of  value  of  live  stock.

Inasmuch  as  in  each  division  the  value  of  domestic

The  average  value  of  live  stock  per  farm  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole  was  $774  in  1910.  The 
average  per  farm  was  highest  in  the  Mountain,  West 
North  Central,  and  Pacific  divisions,  which  are  also 
divisions  in  which  the  average  size  of  farms  con- 
siderably exceeds  the  average  for  the  United  States. 
In  all  but  one  division  the  average  value  of  live  stock 
per  farm  was  greater  in  1910  than  in  1900.  Largely 
because  of  the  great  decrease  in  the  average  size  of 
farms  in  the  Mountain  division,  however,  the  average 
value  per  farm  in  that  division  decreased. 

The  value  of  live  stock  per  acre  of  farm  land  in  the 


value  of  poultry  is  somewhat  different  and  that  of  the 
value  of  bees  decidedly  different.  The  five  divisions 
east  of  the  Mississippi  River  each  reported  in  1910  a 
much  larger  proportion  of  the  value  of  the  poultry  on 
farms  than  they  did  of  the  value  of  domestic  animals 
on  farms,  while  the  opposite  is  true  of  the  four  divi- 
sions west  of  the  Mississippi. 


United  States  as  reported  in  1910  was  $5.60.  The 
highest  average  per  acre  was  in  the  East  North  Central 
division,  and  the  next  highest  in  the  Middle  Atlantic 
division.  In  the  three  southern  divisions  the  value 
of  live  stock  per  acre  is  comparatively  low'.  Betw'een 
1900  and  1910  the  value  of  live  stock  per  acre  increased 
materially  in  each  geographic  division. 


DOMESTIC  ANIMALS  ON  FAEMS. 


In  comparing  the  aggregate  number  and  value  of  the  i 
several  classes  of  domestic  animals  as  reported  at  the 
censuses  of  1910  and  1900,  due  consideration  must  be 
given  to  the  fact  that  the  enumeration  of  1900  was  as 
of  June  1,  while  that  of  1910  was  as  of  April  15.  Had 
the  census  of  1910  been  taken  as  of  June  1,  the  number 
of  animals — -especially  of  cattle,  swine,  and  sheep — 
would  have  been  materially  greater  tha-n  reported,  for 
the  reason  that  a very  large  number  of  domestic  ani- 
mals of  all  kinds  are  born  during  the  six  weeks  from  i 
April  15  to  June  1.  As  the  value  per  head  of  these 
animals  would  be  relatively  low,  howevei',  an  enumera- 
tion at  the  later  date  would  not  have  had  the  effect  of 
increasing  the  total  value  of  animals  reported  in  any- 
thing like  the  same  degree;  in  other  words,  the  aver- 
age value  per  head  would  have  been  lower  than  that 
based  upon  the  figures  reported  for  April  15. 

Table  4,  on  the  oppo.site  page,  summarizes,  for 
the  United  States  as  a whole,  the  principal  facts  with 
regard  to  the  several  classes  of  domestic  animals  on 
farms. 


Wliile  there  was  during  the  decade  1900-1910  a 
great  increase  in  the  total  value  of  domestic  animals, 
this  was  due  chielly  to  the  increase  in  average  value 
per  head.  The  returns  show  an  apparent  decrease 
in  the  number  of  cattle,  sw'ine,  and  sheep,  and  only 
a comparatively  slight  increase  in  the  number  of 
horses.  Had  both  censuses  been  taken  as  of  June  1, 
there  would  probably  have  been  much  less  decrease 
in  the  number  of  cattle  and  of  sheep,  a moderate 
increase  in  the  number  of  swdne,  and  a somew'hat 
greater  increase  in  the  number  of  horses  and  of  mules 
than  is  showm  in  Table  4. 

Hoi  •ses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros  together  con- 
tributed more  than  one-half  (55.1  per  cent)  of  the 
value  of  domestic  animals  on  farms  in  1910,  while 
cattle,  w'hich  contributed  almost  one-balf  (49.5  per 
cent)  of  the  total  in  1900,  conlributed  less  than  one- 
third  (31.5  per  cent)  in  1910. 

It  is  noteworthy  that  a smaller  proportion  of  all 
farmers  reported  horses  in  1910  than  in  1900,  w'hile  a 
decidedly  larger  projiortion  re|)orteil  mules.  Swfine

* Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


The  West  North  Central  division  has  the  largest 
proportion  of  any  division  of  the  total  number  in 
the  case  of  cattle,  of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and 
burros  combined,  and  of  swine,  the  Mountain  divi- 
sion much  the  largest  proportion  of  the  sheep,  and  the 


West  South  Central  division  much  the  largest  propor- 
tion of  the  goats.  The  North  has  more  than  half  of 
the  total  number  of  cattle  and  nearly  two-tliirds  of 
the  horses  and  the  swine;  but  the  South  has  a larger 
proportion  of  the  mules,  asses  and  burros,  and  goats 
than  the  North  or  the  West;  while  the  West  has  more 
than  half  of  the  sheep  of  the  country.  The  territory 
west  of  the  Mississippi  River  contains  a larger  num- 
ber of  each  kind  of  animals  than  the  territory  east 
of  the  river. 

Table  6 shows,  for  1910  and  1900,  the  10  states 
leading  in  the  total  value  of  hve  stock  on  farms  and 
in  the  number  of  the  several  classes  or  groups  of 
domestic  animals,  respectively,  the  states  being  ar- 
ranged in  the  order  of  their  rank. 

The  wide  distribution  of  most  classes  of  live  stock  is 
indicated  by  the  fact  that  the  10  states  which  lead  in 
the  total  value  of  live  stock  together  report  less  than* 
one-half  of  the  total  for  the  United  States.  Texas  has 
been  at  the  last  two  censuses  the  leading  state  with 
respect  to  the  number  of  all  cattle  and  the  number  of 
horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros  considered  to- 
gether. At  both  censuses  New  York  has  led  mth 
respect  to  the  number  of  dairy  cows,  and  Iowa  with 
respect  to  the  number  of  swine  Wyoming  had  the 
largest  number  of  sheep  and  goats,  taken  together,  in 
1910,  but  Montana  had  the  greatest  number  m 1900.

United  States  as  a whole. — Comparisons  between  the 
censuses  of  1910  and  1900  witli  reference  to  tlie 
statistics  of  cattle  are  rendered  diflicult,  not  only  by 
the  cbanjje  in  the  date  of  enumeration,  already  men- 
tioned, but  by  chanjjes  in  the  definitions  of  the  sev- 
eral classes  of  cattle  which  seemed  necessary  in  view 
of  the  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration.' 

The  tabular  statement  below  shows  the  exact  desig- 


nations of  the  various  <dasses  as  they  appcjircd  upon 
the  schedules  for  the  two  censuses,  and  the  number 
re])orted  in  each  class.  The  age  limits,  exf)ressed  in 
montlis,  which  correspond  to  the  dates  specified  in 
1910,  ami  the  limits,  expressed  in  date  of  birth, 
which  correspond  to  the  ages  specified  in  1900,  are  also 
stated.  For  purposes  of  comparison  it  is  necessary 
to  combine  all  steers  and  bulls  at  both  censuses.

With  respect  to  the  total  number  of  cattle,  the  com-  i 
parability  of  the  returns  is  affected  only  by  the  change  j 
in  the  date  of  enumeration  from  June  1 at  the  Twelfth  j 
Census  to  April  15  at  the  Thirteenth  Census.  The 
period  of  six  weeks  between  April  15  and  June  1 is, 
however,  one  in  which  an  exceedingly  large  number  of 
calves  are  born.  There  were  at  least  as  many  cows 
to  produce  calves  in  1910  as  in  1900  (probably  some- 
what more),  so  that  presumably  had  the  enumeration 
of  1910  been  made  as  of  June  1 there  would  have  been 
at  least  as  many  calves  less  than  1 year  old  as  there 
were  in  1900,  namely,  15,316,000.  Much  the  greater 
part  of  these  would  have  consisted  of  calves  born 
between  January  1 and  June  1,  1910,  as  many  more 
calves  are  born  during  the  first  five  months  of  the 
year  than  during  the  last  seven  months,  and,  more- 
over, of  those  born  in  the  later  months  of  the  year  a 
much  larger  proportion  would  be  slaughtered  by  June 
1.  It  is  reasonable  to  suppose,  therefore,  that  had  the 

*At  the  censiis  of  1900  the  ages  of  cattle,  as  well  as  of  other  domestic 
animals,  were  stated  in  years — for  example,  less  than  1 year  old, 

1 to  2 years,  2 years  and  over.  This  method  of  reporting  prob- 
ably gave  rea.sonably  accurate  results  when  the  date  of  enu- 
meration was  June  1,  but  had  it  been  employed  when  the  date  of 
enumeration  was  April  15  the  results  would  have  been  unsatis- 
factory. That  date  is  in  the  very  middle  of  the  period  when  the 
greater  number  of  animals  are  born.  Farmers  of  course  do  not 
keep  accurate  records  of  the  ages  of  their  animals,  and  many  would 
have  found  it  impossible  to  state  on  April  15,  1910,  which  animals 
were  under  or  over  1 year  or  2 years  of  age.  Moreover,  a clas- 
sification which  would  divide  a group  of  animals  bom  during 
the  same  spring  and  put  some  in  one  class  and  some  in  another 
would  obviously  be  unsatisfactory.  It  was  therefore  considered 
necessary  at  the  census  of  1910  to  base  the  classification  of  age  upon 
calendar  years,  calling  for  all  animals  bom  after,  during,  or  before 
the  year  i909,  respectively.  This  involved  radical  changes  in  the 
age  limits  of  some  of  the  groups,  as  compared  with  those  employed 
in  1900. 


enumeration  of  1910  been  made  as  of  June  1,  there 
would  have  been  twelve  or  thirteen  million  calves 
reported  as  born  during  1910,  or  five  or  six  million 
more  than  were  actually  reported  on  April  15  as  born 
during  that  year  (7,807,000).  On  the  other  hand,  a 
certain  number — probably  one  or  two  million — of  the 
older  cattle  would  have  been  slaughtered  or  otherwise 
! eliminated  between  April  15  and  June  1,  so  that  the 
net  addition  to  the  total  number  of  cattle  on  June  1 
would  have  been  perhaps  four  or  five  million. 

Instead,  therefore,  of  a decrease  in  the  total  number 
of  cattle  from  67,719,000  on  June  1,  1900,  to  61,804,000 
on  April  15,  1910  (a  decrease  of  5,916,000,  or  8.7  per 
cent),  there  would  probably  have  been  a decrease  of 
not  more  than  three  million,  and  possibly  not  over 
one  million,  had  the  enumeration  of  1910  been  made 
as  of  June  1.  Even  a compar.atively  small  decrease 
in  the  number  of  cattle,  however,  is  significant  when 
considexed  in  connection,  with  the  increase  of  21  per 
cent  in  population  during  the  decade. 

The  number  of  dairy  cows  reported  in  1910  was 

20.625.000,  and  the  number  reported  in  1900  was 

17.136.000,  so  that  there  was  a nominal  increase  of 
20.4  per  cent.  The  number  of  dairy  cows,  however,  as 
reported  at  the  census  of  1910,  includes  all  born  prior 
to  Januai-y  1,  1909,  or,  in  other  words,  all  over  15^ 
months  old,  while  the  class  in  1900  included  only  those 
2 years  of  age  or  over.  It  would  be  necessary,  in  order 
to  make  the  1910  figures  exactly  comparable  with  the 
1900  figures,  first,  to  subtract  from  the  number  of  cows 
reportetl  on  April  15,  1910,  the  number  of  those  cows 
which  were  born  between  June  1,  1908,  and  January 
1,  1909,  since  these  would  have  been  counted  as  lieif-

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


ors  if  tho  af^o  classificat  ion  had  been  the  same  as  at  the 
census  of  1900;  and,  second,  to  subtract  also  tlie  num- 
l)er  of  such  cows  slaughtered  or  otherwise  eliminated 
between  April  15  and  June  1,  1910.  Neither  of  these 
<leductions  woidd  be  large,  and  it  is  certain  that,  after 
making  all  necessary  allowances,  there  was  a very 
considerable  increase  in  the  number  of  dairy  cows. 

Cows  and  heifers  not  kept  for  milk  increased  nomi- 
nally by  4 per  cent  during  tho  decade,  but  in  the 
absence  of  any  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration  or 
tlie  imd.hod  of  classification,  some  little  decrease  would 
])ossibly  have  appeared  in  this  group. 

The  number  of  animals  classed  as  steers  and  bulls 
declined  from  16,535,000  in  1900  to  13,049,000  in 
1910,  or  21.1  per  cent,  and  had  there  been  no  change 
in  the  date  of  enumeration  or  method  of  classification 
the  decline  would  hace  been  even  greater.  The 
number  of  heifers  at  the  two  censuses  is  approxi- 
mately comparable,  since  in  each  case  it  includes  the 
animals  born  during  a 12-month  period.  This  class 
shows  very  little  change  in  numbers  between  the  two 
censuses. 

Taken  as  a whole,  the  census  returns  show  that  the 
dairy  industiy  is  increasing  in  importance,  while  the 
business  of  raising  cattle  for  slaughter  is  declining. 

Table  9 shows,  for  1910  and  1900,  the  value  of  the 
principal  classes  of  cattle,  as  well  as  the  number  of 
farms  reporting  each  class  in  1910. 


There  was  a very  considerable  increase  in  the  total 
value  of  dairy  cows,  but  a decrease  in  the  value  of  all 
the  other  classes  shown  in  the  table.

the  number  and  value  of  the  several  classes  of  cattle 
on  farms  at  the  last  two  censuses.  Table  10  below 
shows  the  percentage  distribution  of  each  class  among 
the  divisions  and  sections,  and  also  the  average 
number  of  all  cattle  (excluding  calves)  and  of  dairy 
cows  per  1 ,000  acres  of  land  in  farms  and  of  improved 
faiTU  land.  The  distribution  of  calves  is  not  shown, 
because  the  difference  in  climate  so  affects  the 
relative  number  of  calves  born  before  April  15  in  the 
different  divisions  that  such  a distribution  would  not 
represent  normal  conditions.

The  West  North  Central  Tlivision  ranked  first  in 
number  of  all  cattle  (excluding  calves)  m 1910,  with 
28.4  per  cent  of  the  total  number,  followed  by  the  West 
South  Central,  with  17.5  per  cent,  and  the  East  North 
Central,  with  15.5  per  cent. 

The  distribution  of  dairy  cows  was  somewhat  differ- 
ent from  that  of  the  other  classes  of  cattle.  The  West 
North  Central  division  ranked  first,  reporting  25.8 
per  cent  of  the  total  number  in  1910,  but  was  very 
closely  followed  by  the  East  North  Central.  The 
Middle  Atlantic  and  West  vSouth  Central  divisions 
ranked  third  and  fourth. 

* In  the  North  were  found  52.6  per  cent  of  the  total 
number  of  cattle  (excluding  calves)  in  1910,  and  65.9 


per  cent  of  the  dairy  cows;  in  the  South,  31.8  per  cent 
and  27.6  per  cent,  respectively;  and  in  the  West,  15.6 
per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  cattle  (excluding calves), 
but  only  6.5  per  cent  of  the  dairy  cows. 

The  average  number  of  all  cattle  (excluding  calves) 
per  1,000  acres  of  land  in  farms  was  highest  in  the 
Mountain  division,  95,  the  Middle  Atlantic  diUsion 
following  closely,  with  82,  wliile  the  South  Atlantic 
division  shows  the  lowest  average,  41.  This  average 
is  exaggerated  in  the  Mountain  division,  whore  con- 
siderable tracts  used  for  grazing  are  not  reported  as 
in  farms.  The  divisions  ranked  very  differently,  how- 
ever, with  respect  to  the  average  number  of  dairy 
cows  per  1,000  acres.

Tho  following  statement,  based  on  Table  14,  shows 
the  increase  or  decrease  in  the  number  of  each  class  of 
cattle  between  June  1,  1900,  and  April  15,  1910.  The 
figures  of  the  two  censuses  for  all  cattle  (excluding 


calves)  are  somewhat  more  nearly  comparable  than 
those  for  all  cattle,  but  are  not  exactly  comparable, 
the  figures  for  1910  being  relatively  somewhat  too  high 
(see  below).

The  number  of  dairy  cows  increased  in  all  of  the 
divisions  except  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic. 
There  was  a decrease  in  steers  and  bulls  in  every 
division  except  the  Pacific,  but,  on  the  other  hand, 
cows  not  kept  for  dairy  purposes  increased  in  every 
division  except  the  West  South  Central,  and  heifers 
increased  in  all  but  three  of  the  divisions. 

Table  12  shows  the  average  value  of  each  class  of 
cattle  in  1910  and  1900. 

The  average  value  of  all  cattle  on  farms  and  ranges 
was  $24.26  in  1910,  as  compared  with  $21.78  in  1900. 
Had  the  census  of  1910  been  taken  as  of  June  1,  how- 
ever, after  more  spring  calves  had  been  born,  the 
average  value  of  the  cattle  reported  would  have  been 
somewhat  lower  than  on  April  15.  The  changes  in  the 
average  value  of  most  of  the  specified  classes  of  cattle 
appear  to  be  due  mainly  to  changes  in  the  age  limits. 
The  average  value  of  dairy  cows,  however,  increased 
from  $29.68  to  $34.24,  though  the  minimum  age  limit 
was  somewhat  lower  in  1910  than  in  1900. 

Table  13,  below,  gives  the  number  of  all  cattle  on 
farms  (excluding  -calves)  and  the  number  of  dairy 
cows,  by  geographic  divisions,  for  the  censuses  of 
1910,  1900,  1890,  and  1880.  The  data  for  each  census 
except  that  of  1910  were  collected  as  of  the  same 
date  and  on  the  same  basis  of  classification.

United  States  as  a whole.  Tho  draft  animals  on 
farms  in  the  United  States  consist  mainly  of  horses 
and  mules,  comparatively  few  oxen  bemg  used.  The 
age  classification  of  horses  and  mules  used  in  1910 
differed  from  that  em[)loyed  in  1 900  in  the  same  way 
as  hi  the  case  of  cattle,  and  the  (diange  in  tho  date  of 
enumeration  also  affects  the  returns.  The  data  are. 


however,  somewhat  more  nearly  comparable  than 
those  for  cattle,  because  a much  larger  proportion  of 
horses  and  mules  are  of  mature  age. 

The  following  statement  shows  the  definitions  of  the 
classes  at  each  census  and  the  number  reported  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole  in  each  class,  and  also  the 
totals  for  asses  and  burros:

The  total  number  of  horses  reported  as  on  farms 
on  April  15,  1910,  was  19,833,000,  as  compared  with 

18.267.000  on  June  1,  1900,  an  increase  of  1,566,000, 
or  8.6  per  cent.  The  numbers  of  mules  at  the  same 
dates  were  4,210,000  and  3,265,000,  respectively,  show- 
ing an  increase  of  945,000,  or  29  per  cent.  Had  the 
enumeration  of  1910  been  made  as  of  June  1,  however, 
the  increase  in  both  classes  would  have  been  somewhat 
greater  on  account  of  the  addition  of  colts  born  between 
April  15  and  June  1.  The  number  of  horse  colts  under 
1 year  of  age  reported  bn  June  1,  1900,  was  1,315,000. 
Assuming  that  the  rate  of  increase  during  the  decade 
in  the  number  of  young  colts  was  about  the  same  as  the 
rate  for  yearlings  (about  20  per  cent,  which,  it  should  be 
noted,  is  a greater  relative  increase  than  that  in  older 
horses)  there  would  have  been  on  June  1,  1910,  nearly 

1.600.000  horse  colts  under  1 year  of  age.  Of  these, 
however,  a comparatively  small  number  would  have 
been  bom  between  June  1,  1909,  and  January  1, 
1910,  and  would  already  be  mcluded  in  the  returns 
for  the  class  of  "colts  born  in  1909.”  After  de- 
ducting these  there  would  have  remained  on  June  1, 
1910,  perhaps  between  twelve  and  fourteen  hundred 
thousand  colts  born  after  January  1,  1910,  or  from 
six  to  eight  hundred  thousand  more  than  were  re- 
ported on  April  15,  1910  (613,000).  Since  a certain* 
number  of  older  horses  living  on  April  15,  1910,  would 
have  died  before  June  1,  the  addition  to  the  total  num- 
ber of  horses  of  all  ages  which  would  have  resulted 
from  an  enumeration  on  June  1 would  have  been 
perhaps  200,000  less  than  this  addition  to  the  number 
of  colts.  Similar  calculations  in  the  case  of  mules 
indicate  the  probability  that  had  the  enumeration  of 


1910  been  taken  as  of  June  1,  there  would  have  been 
in  the  neighborhood  of  100,000  more  mules  than  were 
reported  for  April  15. 

With  respect  to  animals  of  the  oldest  age  group, 
which  may  be  roughly  designated  as  "mature  horses” 
and  "mature  mules,”  the  fact  that  the  minimum  age 
limit  for  the  group  m 1910  (15|  months)  was  lower 
than  m 1900  (2  years)  results  m throwing  some  animals 
into  this  group  at  the*  later  census  which  would  have 
been  classed  as  "yearlings”  m 1900.  Even  after  de- 
ducthig  these,  however,  and  allowing  for  animals 
dying  between  April  15  and  June  1,  the  increase  in 
mature  animals  during  the  decade  would  doubtless  be 
nearly  as  great  as  indicated  by  the  figures  of  the  above 
table.  The  actual  increase  would  probably  be  in  the 
neighborhood  of  10  or  11  per  cent  for  mature  horses 
and  at  least  30  per  cent  for  mature  mules. 

There  should  be  fairly  close  comparability  with  re- 
spect to  the  older  group  of  colts,  which  may  for 
convenience  be  roughly  designated  by  the  term 
"yearlings.”  The  returns  for  this  group  at  each 
census  represent  animals  born  dui’ing  a period  of  12 
months.  A considerable  increase  occurred  during 
the  decade  in  this  group  in  the  case  of  both  horses 
and  mules. 

The  number  of  horses  reported  in  1910  was  about 
four  and  three-fourths  times  as  great  as  the  number  of 
mules,  whereas  in  1900  there  were  about  five  and  one- 
half  times  as  many  horses  as  mules. 

Table  16  shows  statistics  with  regard  to  the  value 
of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros  in  the  United 
States  as  a whole,  and  the  number  and  percentage  of 
farms  reporting  these  animals.

I'liis  table  shows  a remarkable  increase  in  the  total 
value,  which  in  turn  is  due  primarily  to  the  great 
increase  in  value  per  head.  The  combined  value 
of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros  in  1910  was 
138.6  per  cent  greater  than  the  value  in  1900.

2 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


Of  the  total  number  of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and 
burros,  considered  together,  in  1910,  31.2  per  cent  were 
reported  from  the  West  North, Central  division,  19.3 
per  cent  from  the  East  North  Central,  and  15.2  per 
cent  from  the  West  South  Central,  these  three  divisions 
together  containing  about  two-thirds  of  the  entire 
number.  The  North  reported  57.3  per  cent  of  the  total, 
the  South  31.9  per  cent,  and  the  West  10.8  per  cent. 

The  geographic  distribution  of  horses  is  quite  dif- 
ferent from  that  of  mules.  Although  the  use  of  mules 
is  rapidly  increasing  in  the  North,  it  is  in  the  South 
that  they  have  been  found  particularly  useful.  In  the 
North  there  were  more  than  twelve  times  as  many 
horses  as  mules  in  1910,  but  in  the  South  only  about 
one  and  one-haK  times  as  many. 

There  is  a wide  difference  among  the  several  geo- 
graphic divisions  in  the  extent  to  wliich  the  breeding 
of  horses  and  mules  is  carried  on,  as  is  shown  by  the 
differences  between  the  distribution  of  "mature”  ani- 
mals and  that  of  "yearlings  ” and  "colts,”  and  still  more 
clearly  by  a comparison  of  the  ratios  which  the  num- 
bem  of  "colts”  or  "yearlings”  reported  from  the  several 
divisions  bear  to  the  numbei’s  of  mature  animals  re- 
ported from  the  same  divisions.  At  the  census  of 
1910,  the  number  of  yearhng  hoises  (that  is,  those 
born  during  the  year  1909)  was  equal  in  New  England 
to  only  2.9  ])or  cent  of  the  number  of  mature  horses 
and  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division  to  only  5 per  cent, 


whereas  in  the  West  North  Central  division  the  ratio 
was  11.3  per  cent,  in  the  Pacific  division  11.4  percent, 
and  in  the  Mountain  division  14.2  per  cent. 

The  average  number  of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and 
burros  combined,  in  1910,  to  each  1,000  acres  of  land  in 
farms  in  the  country  as  a whole  was  27,  and  the  aver- 
age number  to  each  1,000  acres  of  improved  land  was 
50.  The  East  North  Central  division  shows  the  largest 
number  (40)  per  1,000  acres  of  all  land  in  farms, 
and  the  New  England  and  South  Atlantic  divisions 
stand  lowest,  with  18  in  each  case.  The  number  per 
1,000  acres  of  improved  land  ranged  from  94  in  the 
Mountain  division  to  38  in  the  South  Atlantic. 

Table  18  shows,  by  divisions  and  sections,  the 
increase  or  decrease  from  1900  to  1910  in  the  number 
of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros.  Separate 
data  for  colts  are  not  given  as  they  have  little  signifi- 
cance, but  the  totals  include  colts. 

In  the  number  of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  bur- 
ros combined  an  increase  took  place  between  Juno  1, 
*1900,  and  April  15,  1910,  in  all  the  geographic  divi- 
sions except  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic 
divisions.  Much  the  greatest  increase,  both  absolute 
and  relative,  was  in  the  West  North  Central  division, 
but  there  was  also  a very  conspicuous  increase  (mainly 
in  mules)  in  the  West  South  Central  division.  The 
number  of  mules  increased  in  every  geographic  divi- 
sion except  the  Pacific.

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  the  average  value 
of  all  horses  per  head  in  1910  was  $105.06,  as  compared 
with  $124.80  per  head  for  mules.  The  average  value 
of  “mature  horses”  increased  from  $53.03  per  head 
in  1900  to  $112.36  in  1910,  and  that  of  “mature 
mules”  increased  from  $64.74  to  $131.49.  Even  in 
the  case  of  “yearlings”  and  “ colts”  the  average  value 
was  much  higher  at  the  later  census  than  at  the 
earlier,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  average  age 
of  the  animals  classed  in  these  groups  was  lower. 
Increase  in  average  values  appeared  in  all  of  the  geo- 
graphic divisions  for  all  of  the  age  groups. 

The  average  value  of  “ mature  horses  ” ranged  in 
1910  from  $82.96  in  the  West  South  Central  division 
to  $133  93  in  the  Middle  Atlantic,  and  that  of  “ ma- 
ture mules”  from  $118.60  in  the  West  South  Central 
division  to  $167.01  in  New  England. 

Table  20  presents  a comparison  of  the  number  of 
horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros  for  the  last  four 
censuses.  Horse  and  mule  colts  are  excluded  in  order 
to  make  the  figures  more  nearly  comparable,  but  they 
are  still  not  precisely  comparable,  the  figures  for  1910 
being  relatively  too  large  because  of  the  lower  age  limit 
of  the  colts  excluded.  There  was  a rapid  increase  in 
the  combined  number  from  1880  to  1890,  but  only  a 
comparatively  moderate  increase  during  the  last  two 
decades.

1 No  age  classification  in  1900. 

The  number  of  s^vine  reported  for  June  1,  1900,  was 
62,868,000  and  the  number  reported  for  April  15, 1910, 
58,186,000,  an  apparent  decrease  of  4,682,000,  or  7.4 
per  cent.  The  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration, 
however,  has  a very  serious  effect  on  the  compara- 
bihty  of  the  statistics  for  1900  and  1910,  since  the 
number  of  swine  born  between  April  15  and  June  1 
undoubtedly  greatly  exceeds  the  number  slaughtered 
during  that  period.  It  is  probable  that  if  the  enu- 
meration of  1910  had  been  made  as  of  June  1 the  num- 
ber of  swine  would  have  been  greater  than  in  1900,  but 
it  is  impossible  to  make  any  close  estimate.  Notwith- 
standing the  decrease  in  the  number  of  swine  at  the 
census  of  1910,  as  compared  with  that  of  1900,  the 
aggregate  value  of  swine  on  farms  increased  from 
$231,978,000  in  1900  to  $399,338,000  in  1910. 

Divisions  and  states. — Table  25  (page  328)  shows, 
for  each  geographic  division  and  state,  the  number 
and  value  of  swine  on  farms  at  the  last  two  censuses. 
The  following  statement  shows,  by  geograpliic  divi- 
sions and  sections,  the  distribution  of  swine  and  the 
increase  or  decrease  during  the  decade :

> A minus  sign  (— ) denotes  decrease. 

In  considering  the  geographic  distribution  of  the 
total  number  of  swine  reported  for  April  15,  1910,  it 


.should  bo  noted  that  the  number  reported  for  that 
date  presumably  corresponds  more  closely  to  the  av- 
erage number  on  hand  during  the  entire  year  in  the 
case  of  some  sections  of  the  country  than  in  the  case 
of  others,  since,  on  account  of  differences  in  climate 
and  in  the  prevailing  practice  as  to  hog  raising,  the 
proportion  which  the  number  of  pigs  born  l)efore  April 
15  represents  of  the  entire  number  born  during  the 
year  varies  materially  in  different  sections.  More- 
over, the  distribution  of  the  number  of  swine  living  on 
a given  date  does  not  indicate  very  closely  the  impor- 
tance of  the  several  sections  of  the  country  in  the  hog 
raising  industry,  for  the  reason  that  in  some  sections 
the  hogs  are  slaughtered  at  an  earlier  average  age  than 
in  other  sections.  In  1910  the  West  North  Central 
division  reported  considerably  more  than  one-third 
(36  per  cent)  of  the  total  number  of  “mature”  swine 
(that  is,  those  born  before  Jan.  1,  1910)  in  the  United 
States,  and  the  East  North  Central  division  some- 
what over  one-fifth  (21.7  per  cent).  Most  of  the  re- 
mainder were  in  the  three  southern  divisions.  For 
reasons  already  indicated  the  distribution  of  young 
pigs  differs  somewhat  from  that  of  other  swine. 

In  considering  the  increase  or  decrease  in  the  num- 
ber of  swine  of  all  ages  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
the  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration  probably  affects 
the  comparability  of  the  statistics  for  the  two  censuses 
in  a more  marked  degree  in  some  divisions  than  in 
others.  Fewer  swine  were  reported  on  April  15,  1910, 
than  on  June  1,  1900,  in  the  Middle  Atlantic,  East 
North  Central,  and  West  North  Central  divisions,  and 
also  in  one  southern  division,  the  East  South  Central, 
but  there  was  an  increase  in  the  other  five  divisions.

For  the  United  States  as  a whole  the  average  value 
of  all  swine  in  1910  was  $6.86,  as  compared  with  $3.69 
in  1900.  Had  the  enumeration  of  1910  been  made 
as  of  June  1,  however,  the  average  value  per  head 
would  have  been  considerably  less  than  that  based 
upon  the  values  reported  for  April  15.  The  average 
value  per  head  of  swine  born  before  January  1,  1910, 
which  furnishes  a better  basis  for  comparison  among 
divisions  than  that  of  all  swine,  was  much  lower  in  the 
three  southern  divisions  than  in  the  divisions  of  the 
North  and  West.

LIVE  STOCK  ON  FARMS  AND  EJ.SEWHERE. 


Table  26  shows  the  number  of  swine  re|)orted  at 
each  of  the  last  four  censuses.  The  figures  for  1910, 
as  already  stated,  are  not  closely  coinj)arable  with 
the  others.  The  increase  in  the  number  of  swine 
since  1<S80  has  fallen  far  short  of  keeping  j)ace  with 
the  growth  of  population.  It  is  probable,  however, 
that,  on  account  of  the  improvement  in  methods  of 
raising  and  marketing  swine,  the  increase  in  the  actual 
amiual  productiojx  for  market  (both  in  number  and 
in  weight)  has  been  more  rapid  than  the  increase  in 
the  number  of  hogs  and  pigs  living  on  any  given  date, 
as  shown  in  this  table.

SHEEP  AND  GOATS  ON  FAEMS. 


United  States  as  a whole. — The  effect  of  the  change 
in  the  date  of  enumeration  and  method  of  classifica- 
tion in  rendering  the  statistics  of  the  last  two  cen- 
suses incomjiarable  is  probably  somewhat  greater 
in  the  case  of  sheep  than  in  the  case  of  cattle.  No 


age  classification  was  made  at  either  census  for  goats. 

The  following  statement  shows  the  designations  ap- 
plied to  the  several  classes  of  sheep  at  each  of  the  last 
two  censuses  and  the  number  reported  in  each  class, 
and  also  the  totals  for  goats:

The  total  number  of  sheep  reported  as  on  farms  and 
ranges  on  April  15,  1910,  was  52,448,000,  as  compared 
with  61,504,000  on  June  1,  1900,  a decrease  of 

9.056.000,  or  14.7  per  cent.  This  decrease,  however, 
is  due  partly  to  the  change  in  the  date  of  enumera- 
tion. Many  lambs  are  born  during  the  interval  be- 
tween April  15  and  June  1.  Furthermore,  on  many 
ranches  in  the  West  the  lambs  are  not  definitely 
counted  so  early  in  the  year  as  April  15,  and  it  seems 
likely  that  in  some  such  cases  ranchmen  failed  to 
make  any  estimate  of  the  lambs. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that,  even  after  making  necessary 
allowances,  as  discussed  below,  the  number  of  ewes  1 
year  of  age  or  over  on  June  1,  1910,  was  probably  less 
than  1,000,000  short  of  the  number  on  the  same  date 
in  1900,  it  seems  likely  that,  if  the  enumeration  of 
1910  had  been  made  as  of  June  1,  there  would  have 
been  nearly  as  many  lambs  less  than  1 year  old  as 
were  reported  10  years  before,  probably  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  21,000,000,  as  compared  with  21,651,000 
in  1900.  Of  these,  however,  a comparatively  small 
number  would  have  consisted  of  animals  born  between 
June  1,  1909,  and  January  1,  1910,  which  are  already 
included,  under  the  classification  of  1910,  in  the  re- 
turns of  ewes  and  rams  and  wethers.  After  deducting 
these  there  would  probably  have  remained  on  June  1, 
1910,  about  19,000,000  or  20,000,000  spring  lambs,  or 

6.000. 000  or  7,000,000  more  than  the  number  reported 
on  April  15,  which  was  12,804,000.  The  number  of 


older  sheep,  however,  would,  on  account  of  slaughter 
and  deaths  from  other  causes,  have  been  less  on  June 
1 than  on  April  15  — perhaps  by  between  1,000,000 
and  2,000,000.  In  view  of  all  these  considerations,  it 
would  seem  that,  if  the  enumeration  of  1910  had  been 
made  as  of  June  1,  there  would  have  been  between 

56,000,000  and  58,000,000  sheep  and  lambs,  us  com- 
pared with  61,504,000  on  June  1,  1900. 

The  number  of  ewes  was  reported  in  1910  as  31,934,000 
and  in  1900  as  31,858,000,  there  being  thus  nominally 
a shght  increase.  In  order  to  make  the  figures  compa- 
rable, however,  it  would  be  necessary  to  deduct  from 
the  number  of  ewes  reported  on  April  15,  1910,  the  com- 
paratively small  number  born  between  June  1,  1909, 
and  January  1,  1910,  which  would  have  been  classed  as 
lambs  at  the  census  of  1900,  and  also  to  deduct  the 
comparatively  small  number  of  ewes  slaughtered  or  oth- 
erwise eliminated  during  the  six  weeks  from  April  15  to 
June  1.  The  whole  number  to  be  deducted  would  prob- 
ably be  less  than  one  milhon.  In  the  case  of  rams  and 
wethers,  the  number  to  be  deducted  from  the  returns 
of  1910,  on  account  of  slaughter  between  April  15  and 
June  1,  would  be  relatively  greater  than  in  the  case  of 
ewes,  so  that  had  the  date  of  enumeration  and  the 
method  of  classification  been  the  same  at  the  two 
censuses  a.  considerably  greater  decrease  would  have 
appeared  than  is  shown  in  the  table. 

Despite  the  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration,  the 
number  of  goats  and  kids  increased  from  1,871,000  in 
1900  to  2,915,000  in  1910.

It  will  be  seen  that,  despite  the  decline  in  the 
number  of  sheeji,  the  value  of  the  sheep  reported  on 
April  15,  1910,  $232,842,000,  was  36.8  per  cent  greater 
than  the  value  on  June  1,  1900,  $170,203,000.  The 
value  of  goats  and  kids  nearly  doubled  during  the 
decade.

In  considering  the  geographic  distribution  of  the 
total  number  of  sheep  and  of  goats  reported  for  April 
15,  1910,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that,  owing  to 
differences  in  climatic  conditions,  the  spring  lambs  and 
kids  are  bom  earlier  in  some  sections  than  in  others. 
Greater  significance  attaches  to  the  figures  for  “ma- 
ture ” sheep.  Of  the  sheep  born  before  January  1,1910, 
the  Mountain  division  reported  nearly  one-half  (49.2 
per  cent)  and  the  East  North  Central  division  about 
one-sixth  (16.5  per  cent).  The  North  as  a whole 
contained  29.3  per  cent,  the  South  11.9  per  cent,  and 
the  West  58.7  per  cent. 

For  reasons  indicated  above  there  were  marked 
differences  in  1910  in  the  ratios  of  lambs  to  ewes  in 
the  several  divisions.  In  the  East  North  Central  di- 
vision the  number  of  lambs  reported  was  equal  to 
54.3  per  cent  of  the  number  of  ewes,  and  in  the  Pacific 
division  to  62.7  per  cent,  whereas  in  the  Mountain 
division  the  ratio  was  oxdy  21.4  per  cent. 

There  are  also  decided  differences  among  the  several 
divisions  with  respect  to  the  ratio  which  the  number 
of  rams  and  wethers  bears  to  the  number  of  ewes,  as 
showm.  by  Table  32.  in  some  divisions  most  of  the 
male  animals  are  sold  for  slaughter  at  an  early  age, 
while  in  others  a large  proportion  are  kept  for  wool. 

The  distributiofi  of  goats  is  quite  different  from  that 
of  sheep.  Tlie  leading  division  is  the  West  South 


Central,  which  reported  43.8  per  cent  of  the  total  in 
1910.  Very  few  goats  are  found  in  the  North. 

The  average  number  of  sheep  and  goats  combined 
per  1,000  acres  of  land  in  faz’ms  in  the  United  States  as 
a whole  was  63  on  April  15,  1910,  as  compared  vdth  76 
on  June  1,  1900.  Of  “mature”  sheep,  the  figures  for 
which  are  more  nearly  comparable,  the  average  num- 
ber per  1,000  acres  was  45  in  1910,  and  48  in  1900. 
In  1910  there  were  in  the  Mountain  division  328  sheep 
born  before  January  1 per  1,000  acres  of  land  in  farms, 
but  it  should  be  noted  that  many  sheep  in  this  division 
are  kept  on  public  range  land  and  not  on  farms. 

Comparisons  among  the  several  geographic  divi- 
sions with  respect  to  the  increase  or  decrease  between 
1900  and  1910  in  the  total  number  of  sheep  are  much 
less  satisfactory  than  comparisons  based  on  the  num- 
ber of  mature  sheep.  There  was  a considerable  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  mature  sheep  of  both  sexes 
combined  in  the  Mountain  and  West  North  Central 
divisions,  and  a small  increase  in  the  East  South  Cen- 
tral division.  As  shown  by  Table  32,  however,  mature 
ewes  decreased  in  the  East  North  Central  division,  while 
rams  and  wethers  decreased  in  the  East  South  Central 
division  and  increased  in  the  East  North  Central.  In 
all  of  the  divisions  except  the  four  above  mentioned 
there  was  a decrease  in  both  these  classes  during  the 
decade.

The  average  value  of  all  sheep  per  head  on  April  15, 
1910,  was  $4.44,  as  compared  with  $2.77  on  June  1, 
1900.  These  figures  are  less  significant  than  those  for 
the  “mature”  animals  alone.  The  average  value  of 
ewes  for  the  country  as  a whole  increased  from  $3.18 
in  1900  to  $5.16  in  1910,  notwithstanding  the  fact 
that  the  average  age  of  the  animals  classed  as  ewes 
was  somewhat  lower  in  1910  than  in  1900.  The  aver- 
age value  of  rams  and  wethers  in  1910  was  $5.01,  as 
compared  with  $3.36  in  1900.  The  average  value  of 
all  goats  was  $2.12  in  1910,  as  compared  with  $1.75 
in  1900,  thus  showing  a much  smaller  increase  than 
the  value  of  sheep.  An  extraordinary  range  appears  in 


the  average  value  of  goats.  In  the  West  South  Central 
division,  which  leads  in  the  total  number  of  goats, 
the  average  value  was  $2.13. 

For  ewes  bom  before  1910  the  average  value  was 
highest  ($5.98  per  head)  in  the  Middle  Atlantic 
division,  next  highest  ($5.67)  in  the  West  North 
Central  division,  and  lowest  ($3.70)  in  the  West  South 
Central  division. 

The  following  statement  shows  the  number  of 
sheep  (excluding  lambs)  at  each  census  from  1880 
to  1910.  The  figures  for  1910,  as  already  explained, 
should  be  reduced,  perhaps  by  3 or  4 per  cent,  in 
order  to  make  them  strictly  comparable  with  the 
returns  for  1900.  It  is  probable  that  some  lambs 
were  included  with  the  sheep  at  the  enumerations 
of  1880  and  1890.  The  returns,  as  given  below, 
would  indicate  a gradual  though  slight  'decrease  in 
the  total  number  of  sheep  (excluding  lambs)  during 
each  decade  since  1880.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


POULTEY 

The  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration  from  June  1, 
at  the  census  of  1900,  to  April  15,  at  the  census  of 
1910,  should  have  no  very  material  effect  upon  the 
comparability  of  the  statistics  of  poultry,  for  the 
reason  that  according  to  the  schedules  used  at  both 


ON  FARMS. 

censuses  only  fowls  3 months  of  age  or  over  were 
to  be  reported. 

The  following  table  shows  for  1910  and  1900  the 
principal  facts  with  regard  to  each  class  of  fowls  in 
the  United  States  as  a whole :

‘ Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 

The  total  number  of  all  fowls  reported  at  the  census 
of  1910  was  295,880,000,  of  which  280,345,000,  or 
94.7  per  cent,  consisted  of  chickens.  The  number  of 
fowls  reported  in  1900  was  250,624,000.  Excluding 
pigeons  and  peafowls,  which  were  not  reported  in 
1900,  there  was  an  increase  between  1900  and  1910  of 
42,519,000,  or  17  per  cent.  The  increase  was  whoUy 
confined  to  chickens,  as  there  was  a marked  decrease- 
in  turkeys,  ducks,  and  geese.  The  total  value  of  all 
fowls  in  1910  was  $154,663,000,  or  an  average  of  52

cents  per  fowl,  while  the  total  value  in  1900  was 
$85,808,000,  or  an  average  of  34  cents  per  fowl,  the 
average  value  having  thus  increased  52.9  per  cent. 
Tlie  average  values  of  the  separate  classes  of  poultry 
were  not  reported  in  1900. 

The  following  table  gives,  for  each  geographic 
division  and  section,  statistics  as  to  the  number  and 
value  of  the  different  kinds  of  fowls  reported.  It  shows 
also  what  percentage  of  the  total  number  was  found  in 
each  division.

It  will  be  seen  that  in  1910  the  West  North  Central 
division  reported  30  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of 
fowls  in  the  country.  The  East  North  Central  divi- 
sion ranked  next  with  24.3  percent,  and  the  West  South 
Central  next  with  10.6  per  cent.  There  has  been  no 
marked  change  in  the  distribution  of  fowls  since  1900. 
The  distribution  of  the  number  of  chickens  and  guinea 
fowls  naturally  corresponds  more  or  less  closely  with 
that  of  all  fowls,  but  the  distribution  of  turkeys,  ducks, 
and  geese  is  somewhat  different. 

The  absolute  increase  in  number  of  chickens  between 
1900  and  1910  was  greatest  in  the  West  North  Central 
division,  but  the  percentage  of  increase  was  not  so  high 
in  that  division  as  in  the  Mountain  and  Pacific  divi- 
sions. The  two  South  Central  divisions  show  relatively 
low  percentages  of  increase  in  the  number  of  chickens. 
In  nearly  every  division  the  number  of  turkeys,  of 
ducks,  and  of  geese  feU  off. 

Table  35  in  the  next  column  shows  the  average 
value  of  fowls  on  farms.  In  the  case  of  chickens, 
turkeys,  and  ducks  the  average  values  in  1910  were 
lowest  in  the  West  South  Central  division  and  highest 
in  New  England.  New  England  also  shows  the  highest 


average  for  geese,  while  the  lowest  is  that  for  the  East 
South  Central  division.  The  average  value  of  fowls 
of  all  classes  combined  shows  a marked  increase  from 
1900  to  1910  in  every  division.

The  number  of  colonies  of  bees  and  their  value  at 
the  censuses  of  1910  and  1900  are  shown,  by  divisions 
and  states,  in  Table  36  (page  336)  in  connection  with  the 
statistics  for  poultry.  • In  the  United  States  as  a whole 
there  were  reported  3,445,000  colonies  of  bees  on  farms 
in  1910,  as  compared  with  4,108,000  in  1900,  a decrease 
of  663,000  colonies,  or  16.1  per  cent.  There  was,  how- 
ever, a shght  increase  in  the  total  value.  The  average 
value  per  colony  increased  from  $2.48  to  $3.01.  The 
number  of  farms  reporting  bees  also  decreased  mate- 
rially, being  586,000  in  1910  as  agamst  707,000  in 
1900.  Such  farms  represented  9.2  per  cent  of  the 
total  number  of  farms  in  1910,  as  compared  with  12.3 
per  cent  in  1900.  The  average  number  of  colonies  per 
farm  reporting  was  5.9  in  1910,  or  practically  the  same 
as  in  1900. 

Table  37  shows  the  percentage  of  the  total  number 
of  colonies  of  bees  in  each  geographic  dirision  and  the 
average  value  per  colony. 

The  South  Atlantic  division  reported  in  1910  almost 
one-fifth  of  the  entire  number  of  colonies  of  bees 
in  the  United  States,  a larger  proportion  than  any 
other  geograpliic  division.  The  other  divisions  which 

DOMESTIC  ANIM.A 

In  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Thir- 
teenth Census  act  the  Census  Bureau  collects  statis- 
tics of  domestic  animals,  not  only  on  farms,  but  also 
in  barns  and  inclosures  not  on  farms — in  cities  and 
villages  and  elsewhere.  Animals  not  on  farms  con- 
sist mainly  of  those  kept  more  or  less  permanently, 
such  as  draft  animals  and  dairy  cows,  but  they  also 
include  considerable  numbers  of  cattle,  sheep,  and 
swine  which  are  temporarily  held  in  cities  and  villages 
pending  slaughter  or  sale.  The  statistics  for  the  sev- 
eral classes  are  not  subdivided  according  to  age  groups 
in  this  bulletin.  It  may  be  stated,  however,  that  a 
relatively  larger  proportion  of  the  animals  not  on 
farms  are  of  adult  age  than  in  the  case  of  those  on 
farms,  and  for  this  reason  comparison  between  the 
censuses  of  1900  and  1910,  with  reference  to  the  total 
number  of  animals  of  each  kind,  is  less  seriously 
affected  by  the  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration 
than  in  the  case  of  animals  on  farms. 

Table  38  (pages  338  and  339)  shows,  by  geographic 
divisions  and  states,  the  number  of  domestic  animals 
not  on  farms  at  the  censuses  of  1910  and  1900  and  their 
value  at  the  census  of  1910  only,  statistics  of  value 
for  such  animals  not  having  been  collected  in  1900. 

As  might  be  expected,  draft  animals  are  relatively 
much  more  important  in  cities  and  villages  than  other 
domestic  animals.  Of  the  total  value  of  domestic 
animals  not  on  farms  in  1910,  $463,280,000,  or  nearly 
72497°— 13 22 


rank  relatively  high  in  bee  culture  are  the  West  North 
Central,  East  North  Central,  East  South  Central, 
and  West  South  Central,  in  the  order  named.  The 
Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions,  however,  reportcid  a 
decidedly  larger  proportion  of  the  total  number  of 
colonies  in  1910  than  in  1900.  The  average  value  per 
colony  in  1910  ranged  from  $4.82  in  the  New  England 
division  and  $4.54  in  the  Mountain  division  to  $2.20 
in  the  East  South  Central  division;  in  every  division 
it  was  higher  in  1910  than  in  1900,  the  change  being 
most  marked  in  the  Mountain  and  Middle  Atlantic 
divisions.

seven-eighths,  represents  the  value  of  horses,  mules, 
and  asses  and  burros.  All  cattle,  with  a value  of 
$60,816,000,  made  up  the  larger  part  of  the  remainder. 

It  is  noteworthy  that  in  each  of  the  four  geo- 
graphic divisions  constituting  the  North  there  was 
a decline  between  1900  and  1910  in  the  number  of 
cattle  not  on  farms,  while  in  each  of  the  five  geo- 
graphic divisions  constituting  the  South  and  West 
there  was  an  increase.  The  same  statement  holds 
true  with  regard  to  horses,  except  that  a slight  in- 
crease took  place  in  the  number  of  horses  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division. 

Differences  in  the  ratio  which  urban  population 
bears  to  rural  jiopulation  and  differences  in  the  rate  of 
growth  in  urban  population  among  the  different  divi- 
sions of  the  country*  doubtless  have  something  to  do 
with  the  differences  among  them  in  the  rate  of  increase 
of  cattle  and  of  horses  not  on  farms.  In  the  country 
as  a whole  urban  population  (that  is,  that  in  cities 
and  villages  of  2,500  or  more  inliabitants)  increased 
more  than  three  times  as  fast  as  rural  population 
between  1900  and  1910.  It  should  be  noted,  however, 
that  in  many  of  the  larger  cities  increasing  stringency 
of  sanitary  regulations  has  tended  to  reduce  the  number 
of  cattle  kept  for  dairy  purposes,  and  also  that  in  the 
larger  cities  the  increased  use  of  automobiles  has  tended 
to  reduce  the  number  of  horses  and  other  draft 
animals.

It  Avill  be  seen  that  in  1910  the  total  value  of  do- 
mestic animals,  both  on  farms  and  not  on  farms,  was 
$5,296,422,000,  of  which  domestic  animals  not  on 
farms  contributed  $536,362,000,  or  a little  over  one- 
tenth.  Of  the  total  number  of  horses,  mules,  and 
asses  and  burros  in  the  country  those  not  on  farms 
constituted  12.6  per  cent,  while  the  corresponding 
proportion  for  cattle  was  only  3 per  cent,  for  swine 
only  2.2  per  cent,  and  for  sheep  only  seven-tenths  of 
1 per  cent.  Of  the  cattle  not  on  farms  about  three- 
fifths  were  dairy  cows. 

Between  1900  and  1910  there  was  an  increase  of 
16.2  per  cent  in  the  number  of  cattle  not  on  farms,  as 


against  a decrease  in  those  on  farms.  The  rate  of 
increase  in  the  number  of  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and 
burros  taken  together  was  nearly  the  same  for  those 
not  on  farms  as  for  those  on  farmk  The  changes  in 
the  number  of  swine  and  sheep  not  on  farms  have 
probably  little  significance. 

For  every  class  of  animals,  except  the  unimportant 
class  of  asses  and  burros,  the  average  value  per  head 
in  1910  was  higher  in  the  case  of  those  not  on  farms 
than  in  the  case  of  those  on  farms.  This  is  due  in  part 
to  the  fact  that  a relatively  larger  proportion  of  the 
animals  not  on  farms  are  of  adult  age  than  in  the  case 
of  those  on  farms. 


Chapter  12. 


LIVE  STOCK  PRODUCTS,  AND  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS  SOLD  OR  SLAUGHTERED 

ON  FARMS. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  summarizes  the  data 
collected  by  the  Thirteenth  Decennial  Census  for  dairy 
products,  wool  and  mohair,  poultry  and  eggs,  honey 
and  wax,  and  domestic  animals  sold  or  slaughtered  on 
farms.  The  returns  for  these  items  at  the  census  of 
1910,  like  those  for  crops,  relate  to  the  activities  of  the 
calendar  year  1909. 

It  is  impossible  to  give  a total  representing  the 
value  of  the  annual  production  of  live  stock  products, 
for  the  reason  that  the  total  value  of  products  of  the 


business  of  raising  domestic  animals  for  use,  sale,  or 
slaughter  can  not  be  calculated  from  the  census  returns. 
And  even  if  a total  representing  the  value  of  the  annual 
production  of  live  stock  products  could  be  obtained 
and  were  added  to  the  value  of  all  crops  (data  for 
which  are  presented  in  Chapter  13),  the  sum  would  not 
accurately  represent  the  total  value  of  farm  products 
for  the  year,  because  much  duplication  would  result 
from  the  fact  that  part  of  the  crops  are  fed  to  the  live 
stock. 


DAIRY  PRODUCTS. 


United  States  as  a whole:  1909  and  1899. — The 
census  statistics  of  dairy  products  are  somewhat  less 
complete  and  accurate  than  is  believed  to  be  the  case 
with  the  statistics  of  the  principal  crops.  Wliile  many 
farms  make  the  dairy  business  the  main  or  an  impor- 
tant feature  of  their  operations,  yet  for  the  great 
majority  it  is  more  or  less  incidental,  cows  being  kept 
chiefly  for  breeding  purposes  or  to  supply  milk  and 
butter  for  the  farmer’s  family.  On  such  farms  in 
particular,,  records  of  dairy  products  are  seldom  kept, 
and  farmers  are  usually  able  to  make  only  rough  esti- 
mates regarding  them,  and  in  many  eases  are  unwiU- 
ing  to  make  any  estimates  at  all.  Especial  difficulty 
is  encountered  in  securing  reports  of  the  total  quantity 
of  mUk  produced.  In  many  instances,  even  when 
farmers  make  replies  to  all  the  inquiries,  it  is  probable 
that  they  understate  the  production,  particularly  by 
neglecting  or  underestimating  the  home  consumption 
of  mUk  and  other  dairy  products. 

The  incompleteness  of  the  returns  is  indicated  by 
the  fact  that,  whUe  there  were  5,140,869  farms  in  the 
United  States  for  which  the  enumerators  reported 
dairy  cows  on  April  15,  1910,  for  only  4,413,333  of 
these  farms  were  dairy  products  of  any  ’dnd  reported 
as  produced  in  1909,  and  for  only  4,01  ,460  was  the 
quantity  of  mUk  produced  in  1909  stated.  The  total 
number  of  dairy  cows  on  farms  April  15,  1910,  was 
reported  as  20,625,000,  while  the  number  on  farms 
which  reported  the  production  of  any  land  of  dairy 
products  in  1909  was  18,746,000,  or  90.9  per  cent  of  the 
total  number,  and  the  number  on  farms  which  reported 
the  production  of  mUk  in  1909  was  16,069,000,  or  77.9 
per  cent  of  the  total.  In  considering  these  figures, 
however,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  there  is  no 
precise  distinction  between  dairy  cows  and  cows 


not  kept  for  their  mUk.  In  a considerable  number  of 
cases  enumerators  probably  reported  as  dairy  cows 
animals  which  in  fact  were  primarily  kept  for  breeding 
purposes  and  which  were  only  mUked  for  short  periods, 
if  at  all,  during  the  preceding  year. 

Because  of  this  indefiniteness  in  the  returns  for 
dairy  cows  it  has  not  been  considered  desirable  to 
make  estimates  of  the  production  of  mUk  or  other 
dairy  products  on  farms  which  reported  dairy  cows 
but  failed  to  report  the  quantity  of  milk  produced  or 
failed  to  report  dairy  products  of  any  kind.  At  the 
Twelfth  Census  estimates  of  this  character  were  made 
to  a considerable  extent,  and  for  this  reason  the  statis- 
tics published  for  that  census  are  not  closely  com- 
parable with  those  for  the  Thirteenth  Census.  The 
statistics  of  butter  and  cheese  for  the  two  censuses  are, 
however,  more  nearly  comparable  than  those  for  milk. 

Table  1,  on  page  344,  shows,  for  the  United  States, 
data  regarding  dairy  products  in  1909,  as  reported  by 
the  enumerators,  together  with  certaui  items  for  1899, 
as  published  in  the  reports  of  the  Twelfth  Census. 

The  total  quantity  of  milk  reported  as  produced  on 
farms  in  1909  was  5,814,000,000  gallons.  There  were, 
on  April  15,  1910,  16,069,000  dairy  cows  on  the  farms 
reporting  this  milk.  Assuming  that  there  were  the 
same  number  of  cows  in  1909,  the  average  production 
of  milk  per  cow  would  be  362  gallons. 

The  total  value  of  dairy  products  of  farms  in  1909, 
exclusive  of  milk  and  cream  consumed  on  the  farm, 
was  reported  as  $596,413,000.  This  represents  the 
sum  of  the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  milk,  cream,  and 
butter  fat  (amounting  in  all  to  $372,403,000),  and  the 
value  of  aU  butter  and  cheese  produced  on  farms, 
whether  sold  or  retained  for  home  use  (amounting  to 
$224,010,000).

> While  butter  fat  does  not  constitute  a separate  product,  large  quantities  of 
cream  and  milk  are  sold  on  the  basis  of  a specified  price  per  pound  for  the  butter 
fat  which  they  contain:  hence  it  is  proper  to  speak  of  the  quantity  of  butter  fat  sold. 

2 In  addition,  2,381,212  pounds  of  butter,  valued  at  $661,171,  and  49,413  pounds 
of  part-cream  cheese,  valued  at  $5,745,  were  produced  by  establishments  engaged 
in  the  manufacture  of  products  other  than  those  covered'by  creameries  and  cheese 
factories. 


The  census  schedules  did  not  call  for  the  combined 
value  of  all  dairy  products  as  one  item,  nor  did  they 
call  for  the  total  value  of  milk  jiroduced.  In  order 
to  obtain  a true  total  for  the  value  of  dairy  products, 
it  would  be  necessary  to  ascertain  the  value  of  milk, 
cream,  butter,  and  cheese  consumed  on  the  farm,  in- 
cluding milk  fed  to  animals,  and  to  add  to  this  the 
reported  value  of  products  sold.  In  the  belief  that  no 
satisfactory  results  could  be  secured  from  such  an  in- 
quiry, the  census  schedules  did  not  call  for  the  value 
of  milk  and  cream  consumed  on  the  farm,  and  it  has 
not  been  considered  feasible  to  estimate  this  value 
from  the  other  data  reported.  Such  estimates  were 
made  at  the  IVelfth  Census,  but  they  can  not  be  con- 
sidered as  more  than  very  rough  ajqiroximations. 

The  total  re])orted  value  of  dairy  ]>roducts  sold  in 
1909  was  1473,769, 0)00,  of  which  the  value  of  milk, 
cream,  and  butter  fat  sold  represented  nearly  four- 
fifths  and  that  of  butter  most  of  the  remainder,  ddie 
quantity  of  milk  sold  as  such  was  rejiorted  as 
1,937,000,000  gallons,  or  substantially  one-third  of  the 
total  reported  as  produced;  but  it  should  be  borne  in 


mind  that  a great  deal  of  milk  sold  or  delivered  to 
creameries  for  butter  making  is  paid  for  on  the  basis 
of  the  cream  or  butter  fat  content,  in  wdiich  case  the 
(piantity  of  such  cream  or  butter  fat  was  usually  re- 
ported on  the  census  schedules  and  not  the  quantity 
of  milk.  The  greater  part  of  the  milk  reported  as  sold 
was  doubtless  consumed  as  such,  chiefly  in  cities  and 
villages,  but  a considerable  quantity  represents  milk 
delivered  to  condensed-milk  and  cheese  factories,  and 
a small  part  represents  milk  which  was  delivered  to 
creameries  for  the  jiroduction  of  butter  and  reported 
as  milk  instead  of  on  the  basis  of  the  cream  or  butter 
fat  contained. 

The  reported  farm  production  of  butter  and  of  cheese 
in  1909 — 994,651,000  pounds  and  9,406,000  pounds, 
respectively — was  considerably  less  than  the  produc- 
tion for  the  year  1899  as  given  in  the  published  reports 
of  the  Twelfth  Census,  but  this  difference  is  doubtless 
due  in  part  to  the  fact  that  the  latter  included  some 
estimates  for  farms  with  incomplete  reports.  The 
manufacture  of  butter  and  cheese  is,  how^ever,  grad- 
ually being  transferred  from  farms  to  factories.  The 
combined  farm  and  factory  production  of  butter  was 

1 .619.415.000  pounds  in  1909  and  1,491,753,000  pounds 
in  1899.  The  increase  during  the  decaide  was  thus 

127.663.000  pounds,  or  8.6  per  cent.  The  factory  pro- 
duction alone  increased  48.7  per  cent.  Of  the  total 
product,  that  made  in  factories  constituted  38.6  per 
cent  in  1909  and  28.2  per  cent  in  1899. 

The  production  of  cheese  on  farms  and  in  factories 
was  320,532,000  pounds  in  1909,  as  compared  with 

298.345.000  pounds  in  1899,  an  increase  of  7.4  per  cent. 
At  both  censuses  much  the  greater  part  of  the  cheese 
was  made  in  factories,  but  the  proportion  in  1909  (97.1 
per  cent)  was  higher  than  that  in  1899  (94.5  per  cent). 

Production  of  dairy  products,  by  divisions  and 
states. — Table  2 shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the 
total  number  of  farms  reiiorting  dairy  cows,  the  num- 
ber reporting  dairy  products,  and  the  number  re])ort- 
ing  the  quantity  of  milk  produced,  with  the  number  of 
dairy  cows  reported  by  the  farms  of  each  class. 
Dairy  jiroducts  and  milk  production  ajqiear  to  have 
been  much  more  completely  rejiorted  in  some  divisions 
than  in  others.  In  the  New  England  division,  for  ex- 
anqile,  the  number  of  farms  reporting  dairy  products 
was  91.9  per  cent  of  the  number  reporting  dairy  cows, 
and  the  number  rejiorting  the  (luantity  of  milk  pro- 
duced, 83.6  per  cent,  while  in  flie  Mountain  division 
the  number  of  farms  reporting  dairy  products  was  only 
70.9  ])er  cent  of  tlie  number  rejioiiing  dairy  cows,  and 
the  number  rejiorting  the  quantity  of  milk  jmxiuced, 
63.8  ])er  cent,  in  general,  it  may  be  said  that  the 
re])orts  of  dairy  ])roducts  for  the  four  northern  divi- 
sions aj)})ear  (.o  be  more  conqilete  than  those  for  the 
other  divisions,  Ihe  deliciency  being  greatest  in  those 
divisions  where  cows  not  kejit  for  dairy  pur])oses 
consideralily  outnumber  the  dair^'  cows.

Table  3 shows  statistics  of  the  production  of  dairy 
products  on  farms,  by  geographic  divisions. 

The  distribution  of  the  farm  production  of  dairy 
products  among  the  geographic  divisions  naturally 
conforms  more  or  less  closely  to  the  distribution  of  the 
number  of  daily  cows,  but  the  correspondence  is  by 
no  means  exact.  The  imperfections  of  the  reports, 
both  as  to  the  number  of  dairy  cows  and  as  to  the 
quantity  of  daily  products,  especially  milk  produced, 
renders  close  comparison  impossible. 

Of  the  total  value  of  dairy  products  in  1909  (exclud- 
ing the  value  of  milk  and  cream  consumed  on  the  farm 


where  ])roduced),  the  East  North  Central  division 
reported  $159,674,000,  or  26.8  per  cent,  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division  $130,773,000,  or  21.9  per  cent,  and 
the  West  North  Central  division  $108,825,000,  or  18.2 
per  cent,  these  three  divisions  together  reporting  over 
two-thirds  of  the  total.  It  is  probable,  however,  that 
the  relative  importance  of  the  home  consumption  of 
milk  and  cream  is  considerably  greater  in  the  South 
and  somewhat  greater  in  the  West  than  it  is  in  the 
North,  and  that  if  the  value  of  all  dairy  products, 
including  such  consumption,  could  be  accurately 
computed,  the  soixthern  and  western  divisions  woidd 
show  somewhat  larger  percentages  of  the  aggregate  for 
the  United  States  than  appear  in  Table  3. 

Because  of  the  considerable  degree  of  incompara- 
bility  between  the  reports  of  the  number  of  dairy  cows 
and  those  of  milk  production,  the  average  quantity  of 
milk  per  cow  is  not  presented  for  divisions  or 
states.  According  to  the  figures  reported,  the  average 
production  per  cow  (based  on  the  number  of  dairy 
cows  in  1910  on  farms  reporting  milk  produced  in  1909 
and  the  quantity  of  milk  produced  in  1909)  was  very 
much  greater  in  the  New  England,  Middle  Atlantic, 
East  North  Central,  and  Pacific  divisions  than  in  any 
of  the  others.  This  doubtless  conforms  approximately 
to  the  facts.

Table  4,  on  the  next  page,  shows  the  production  of 
butter  and  cheese  on  farms  and  in  factories,  by  geo- 
graphic divisions,  and  Table  5 shows  the  percentage  of 
the  respective  totals  reported  for  each  division. 

In  1909  the  production  in  factories  formed  67.3  per 
cent  of  the  total  production  of  butter  in  the  Pacific 
division  and  54.8  per  cent  in  the  West  North  Central 
division,  while  in  the  three  southern  divisions  taken 
together  it  represented  only  2.3  per  cent.  In  the  other 
four  divisions  less  butter  was  made  in  factories  than 
on  farms,  but  there  was  no  such  great  difference  as  in 
the  South.  Of  the  total  production  of  butter  on 
farms  and  in  factories  in  1909,  the  West  North  Cen- 
tral division  reported  27.5  per  cent  and  the  East 
North  Central  26.2  per  cent,  the  production  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  division,  which  ranked  next,  con- 
stituting only  10.2  per  cent  of  the  total. 


While  the  butter  production  is  very  widely  dis- 
tributed, cheese  is  produced  only  to  a limited  extent 
outside  of  two  divisions.  The  East  North  Central 
division  in  1909  produced  56.3  per  cent  of  the  total 
farm  and  factory  output,  and  the  Middle  Atlantic 
36.9  per  cent.  In  fact,  as  shown  by  Table  10,  two 
states,  Wisconsin  and  New  York,  produced  about 
four-fifths  of  the  total.  The  quantity  of  butter  made 
on  farms  was  less  in  1909  than  in  1899  in  the  four 
geographic  divisions  of  the  North,  and  also  in  the 
Pacific  division,  but  in  all  of  these  divisions,  except 
the  Middle  Atlantic  and  the  New  England,  the  factory 
production  was  decidedly  greater  in  the  later  year 
than  in  the  earlier.  In  the  three  southern  divisions, 
where  practically  all  the  butter  is  still  made  on  farms, 
there  was  an  inj»’ease  in  farm  production  between  1899 
and  1909,  the  percentage  of  increase  for  the  tliree  di- 
visions taken  together  being  41.

Tables  9 and  10,  on  subsequent  pages  show,  by  states, 
statistics  of  the  dairy  products  of  farms,  and  the  quan- 
tity of  butter  and  cheese  made  in  factories,  with  the 
total  made  on  farms  and  in  factories.  In  1909  the  lead- 
ing dairy  states,  as  judged  by  the  total  value  of  the 
farm  production  (excluding  milk  and  cream  used  at 
home),  were  New  York,  Wisconsin,  Pennsylvania,  Illi- 
nois, Iowa,  Ohio,  Minnesota,  Michigan,  and  California, 
in  each  of  which  the  value  reported  exceeded 
$20,000,000.  In  the  production  of  butter  (on  farrns 
and  in  factories  combined)  Wisconsin  was  the  leading 
state,  followed  by  Iowa,  Minnesota,  Pennsylvania, 
Michigan,  Ohio,  Illinois,  and  New  York.  A largo  part 


of  the  milk  produced  in  New  York  is  sold  for  consump- 
tion in  the  cities,  and  a large  proportion  is  also  used 
in  making  cheese.  New  York  ranked  next  to  Wis- 
consin in  the  production  of  cheese,  and  in  no  other 
state  did  the  quantity  produced  equal  one-seventh 
of  that  reported  for  New  York.  In  the  combined 
production  of  butter  and  cheese  Wisconsin  led,  with 

279.992.000  pounds,  followed  by  New  York,  with 

174.944.000  pounds. 

Sales  of  dairy  products,  by  divisions  and  states. — 
Table  6 shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the  quantity 
and  value  of  dairy  products  sold  by  farmers.  Sales 
of  butter  and  cheese  by  factories  are  not  shown,  as 
they  are  substantially  the  same  as  the  production. 

Comparisons  between  divisions  as  to  the  percentage 
which  milk  sold  as  such — which  does  not  include  milk 
paid  for  on  the  basis  of  cream  or  butter  fat  content — 
forms  of  the  total  milk  produced  would  have  compara- 
tively little  significance.  As  shown  by  the  percent- 
ages in  Table  6,  there  are  wide  differences  among  the 
geographic  divisions  with  respect  to  the  ratio  which 
the  quantity  of  butter  and,  to  a less  degree,  of  cheese, 
sold  bears  to  the  total  production.  In  the  North  and 
West  a large  projiortion  of  the  flutter  made  on  farms 
is  sold,  the  percentages  in  1909  ranging  from  42.2  in 
the  Mountain  division  to  72.5  in  New  England.  In 
the  South  a much  smaller  proportion  is  sold,  the  per- 
centages ranging  from  1C. 7 in  the  East  South  Central 
division  to  27.5  in  the  South  Atlantic.  In  a majority

The  average  value  of  butter  sold  by  farmers  in  the 
United  States  as  a whole  was  24.2  cents  per  pound 
in  1909,  as  compared  with  16.7  cents  in  1899,  an 
increase  of  44.9  per  cent.  In  1909  the  average  value 
was  highest  in  New  England,  28.9  cents,  and  lowest 
in  the  East  South  Central  division,  21.3  cents.  The

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


WOOL  AND  MOHAIR. 


Wool  production  in  the  United  States  as  a whole : 
1909  and  1899. — Tlie  reports  of  the  enumerators  at 
both  the  Twelfth  and  the  Thirteenth  Censuses  were 
somewhat  deficient  with  respect  to  wool  production, 
and  it  has  been  deemed  necessary  to  make  estimates 
to  cover  this  deficiency.^  Table  11  shows  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole  the  actual  returns  of  the 
Thirteenth  Census  and  the  estimated  totals  for  1909 
and  1899,  respectively.

According  to  the  returns  there  were  on  April  15, 1910, 
598,047  farms  with  sheep  of  shearing  age,  the  number 
of  such  sheep  being  39,644,000.  Of  these  farms,  how- 
ever, there  were  only  423,580,  with  31,636,000  sheep  of 
shearing  age,  for  wliich  the  enumerators  reported  the 
production  of  any  wool  in  1909.  The  number  of  fleeces' 
reported  for  these  farms  was  33,850,000.  The  enumer- 
ators reported  also  the  production  of  1,487,000  fleeces 


in  1909  on  34,731  farms  with  no  sheep  of  shearing  age 
April  15,  1910.  The  total  number  of  fleeces  reported 
was  thus  35,337,000. 

It  is  believed  that  a much  closer  approximation  to 
the  true  total  can  be  obtained  by  an  estimate  based  on 
the  assumption  that  the  entire  production  of  wool  in 
1909  bore  the  same  relation  to  the  entire  number  of 
sheep  of  shearing  age  on  April  15,  1910,  as  the  produc- 
tion of  wool  on  those  farms  reporting  both  production 
and  sheep  bore  to  the  number  of  sheep  reported  on 
such  farms.  On  the  basis  of  such  an.  estimate,  the 
total  production  of  wool  in  1909  was  42,321,000  fleeces. 
The  production  in  1899,  also  in  part  estimated  at  that 
time,  was  43,999,000  fleeces,  so  that  there  was  a 
decrease  of  1,679,000  fleeces,  or  3.8  per  cent.  Never- 
theless, the  estimated  total  weight  increased  from 
276,568,000  pounds  in  1899  to  289,420,000  in  1909, 
or  4.6  per  cent,  and  the  reported  average  weight  per 
fleece  increased  from  6.3  pounds  to  6.8  pounds. 

The  value  of  the  wool  clip  increased  from  $45,670,000 
in  1899  to  $65,472,000  in  1909,  or  43.4  per  cent.  The 
average  value  per  pound  rose  from  17  to  23  cents,  and 
the  average  value  per  fleece  from  $1.04  to  $1.55. 

Wool  production,  by  divisions  and  states:  1909  and 
1899. — Table  12  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the 
number  of  fleeces  of  wool  actually  reported  and  the 
estimated  total  number  produced  in  1909.  Compari- 
sons of  the  reported  production  and  the  estimated  total 
production  will  show  that  in  some  geographic  divisions 
the  returns  of  the  enumerators  were  much  more  nearly 
complete  than  in  others.

Table  13,  on  the  following  page,  shows,  by  divi- 


decrease  in  the  estimated  total  wool  production  from 


sions,  the  amounts  and  percentages  of  increase  or 


1899  to  1909. 


‘ There  are  various  reasons  for  this  failure  of  the  enumerators  to 
report  the  entire  wool  production.  In  some  cases  enumerators 
reported  the  number  of  sheep  and  neglected  to  report  the  wool 
produced  in  1909.  In  other  cases,  farmers  who  did  not  have  sheep 
in  1910  did  have  some  in  1909,  and  it  can  not  be  assumed  that  the 
wool  produced  by  such  sheep  in  1909  was  in  all  cases  reported,  for 
the  enumerator,  after  ascertaining  that  the  fariner  had  no  slieep  in 
1910,  might  neglect  the  subseejuent  inejuiry  as  to  wool  produced  in 
1909.  The  number  of  farms  which  reported  the  production  of 
wool  in  1909  but  no  sheep  on  hand  on  April  15,  1910,  was  less  than 
one-fourth  of  the  number  wliich  reported  sheep  in  1910  but  no  wool 
production  in  1909.  Again,  particularly  in  the  case  of  tenant 


farms,  the  farmer  who  occupied  a farm  at  the  time  of  the  enuraera- 
(ion  might  not  have  occupied  the  same  farm  the  yireceding  year. 
In  cases  of  this  sort  the  new  occupant  of  the  farm  would  be  fairly 
well  able  to  estimate  the  production  of  crops,  from  the  acreage  of 
stubble,  but  would  often  hesitate  to  make  an  estimate  for  the  wool. 

In  making  the  estimate  of  the  total  production  of  wool  which  is 
presented  in  the  table  no  account  was  taken  of  the  1,487,000  fleeces 
reported  as  produced  in  1909  on  farms  with  no  sheep  of  shearing 
age  in  1910,  for  this  figure  represents  the  wool  iiroduction  of  only 
a part  of  the  sheep  which  the  estimate  is  designed  to  cover. 
Estimates  wore  made  for  the  several  states,  and  combined  to  make 
the  totals  tor  geographic  divisions  and  the  United  Slates.

There  was  a decrease  between  1899  and  1909  in  the 
number  of  llceces  produced  in  each  of  the  divisions 
except  the  West  North  Central  and  Mountain  divi-‘ 
sions.  The  percentage  of  ilecrease  was  gi-eatest  in  the 
Now  England  division  and  next  greatest  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic,  while  the  absolute  decrease  in  number  of 
fleeces  was  greatest  in  the  IVIiddle  Atlantic  division. 
In  the  Mountain  division,  wliich  produced  nearly  half 
of  the  total  wool  clip  of  1909,  the  increase  in  that 
year  as  compared  with  1899  was  4.4  per  cent.  The 
percentages  of  increase  or  decrease  in  the  weight  of 
wool  produced  differ  considerably  from  those  based  on 
the  number  of  fleeces.  In  every  division  except  the 
New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  there  was  a con- 
siderable increase  between  1899  and  1909  in  the 
value  of  wool  produced,  the  increase  in  average 
value  per  pound  more  than  offsetting  the  decrease  in 
the  quantity  produced  in  four  of  the  divisions.

The  distribution  of  the  number  of  fleeces  naturally 
conforms  approximately  to  the  distribution  of  the  num- 
ber of  sheep.  In  1909  the  Mountain  division  produced 
47  per  cent  of  the  total  estimated  number  of  fleeces; 
the  East  North  Central  16  per  cent;  and  the  Pacific 
11.8  per  cent.  These  three  divisions  together  contrib- 
uted substantially  three-fourths  of  the  total  number. 

The  average  weight  of  fleeces  in  1909  was  higher  in 
the  three  geographic  divisions  just  named  than  in  any 
of  the  other  divisions,  and  decidedly  loAver  in  the  three 


southern  divisions  than  elsewhere.  The  extreme  range 
was  from  7.3  iiounds  per  fleece  in  the  Mountain  divi- 
sion to  3.9  ])ounds  in  the  East  South  Central.  The 
average  weight  was  greater  in  1909  than  in  1899  in  six 
of  the  divisions;  in  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South 
Central  divisions  it  was  sUghtly  lower;  and  in  the 
Middle  Atlantic  there  was  no  change. 

The  average  value  of  wool  per  pound  in  1909,  as 
reported  by  the  producers,  was  lowest  (18.7  cents)  in  the 
Pacific  division.  The  niaximum  value  (29.3  cents)  is 
shown  for  the  East  North  Central  and  South  Atlantic 
divisions.  The  average  value  per  pound  increased 
materially  in  each  of  the  geographic  divisions  between 
1899  and  1909.  In  1909  the  average  value  per  fleece 
was  lowest  ($1.05)  in  the  East  South  Central  division 
and  highest  ($2.11)  in  the  East  North  Central. 

Table  15,  which  appears  on  the  following  page, 
shows  that  in  1909  the  leading  states  in  the  production 
of  wool  were  Wyoming,  Montana,  New  Mexico,  Ohio, 
California,  Idaho,  Oregon,  and  Texas  in  the  order 
named,  each  of  these  states  having  reported  more 
than  2,000,000  fleeces. 

Mohair  and  goat  hair:  1909  and  1899. — Table  15 
shows  also  the  reported  number  of  fleeces,  and  the 
weight  and  value  of  mohair  and  goat  hair  produced 
in  1909  and  1899,  respectively,  by  geographic  divi- 
sions and  states. 

The  reports  for  the  production  of  mohair  are  pre- 
sumably about  as  defective  as  those  for  wool.  The 
agricultural  schedules,  however,  on  account  of  the 
minor  importance  of  goats,  did  not  distinguish  them 
by  age,  and  it  is  scarcely  possible  to  approximate  the 
total  production  of  mohair  from  the  number  of  goats 
and  kids  of  all  ages  taken  together.  In  many  sections 
of  the  country  the  number  of  goats  on  farms  is  insig- 
nificant and  a considerable  proportion  of  those  which 
are  kept  are  not  shorn  for  mohair;  consequently  the 
production  of  mohair  in  several  of  the  geographic 
divisions  is  of  little  significance. 

The  total  reported  production  of  mohair  in  1909 
was  1,683,000  fleeces,  or  more  than  three  and  one-half 
times  as  many  as  were  reported  in  1899.  The  re- 
ported weight  of  the  mohair  was  3,779,000  pounds, 
and  the  value,  $902,000.  It  is  noteworthy  that  the 
average  value  of  mohair  per  pound  was  somewhat 
lower  in  1909  than  in  1899,  so  that,  although  the  aver- 
age weight  per  fleece  increased  slightly  during  the 
decade,  the  average  value  per  fleece  decreased. 

More  than  three-fifths  of  the  mohair  reported  in 
1909  was  produced  in  the  West  South  Central  divi- 
sion, and  nearly  all  of  the  remainder  in  the  Mountain 
and  Pacific  divisions.  number  of  fleeces  pro- 

duced in  the  West  South  Central  division  was  over 
five  times  as  great  in  1909  as  in  1899,  and  in  the

United  States  as  a whole:  1909  and  1899. — As  iii 
tlio  case  of  wool,  the  reports  of  the  enumerators  as 
to  the  production  of  poultry  and  eggs  in  1909  were 
somewhat  incomplete,  and  it  was  tleemed  desirable  to 
make  estimates  to  cover  this  tleficiency,  particularly 
in  order  to  make  the  data  comparable  with  those  for 
1899,  which  included  estimates.  Table  16  shows  the 
actual  returns  of  the  quantity  and  value  of  eggs  and 
of  poultry  produceil  in  1909,  with  estimated  totals  for 
that  year  and  for  1899.  No  estimates  have  been 
made  regarding  the  sale  of  eggs  and  poultry  in  1909, 
although  this  was  done  at  the  preceding  census,  and 
it  is  probable  that  the  reported  figures,  which  are  also 
given  in  the  table,  are  less  than  the  true  totals, 
although  perhaps  not  so  deficient  as  the  reported 
protluction.

The  total  munber  of  farms  which  reported  fowls  on 
hand  April  15,  1910,  was  5,585,032,  and  the  number 
of  fowls,  295,880,000.  Of  these  farms,  however,  the 
eniunerators  reported  the  production  of  eggs  for  only 


4,833,759,  the  number  of  fowls  on  such  farms  in. 1910 
bemg  273,256,000,  or  about  8 per  cent  less  than  the 
total.  The  number  of  eggs  reported  (hicluding  that 
on  the  small  number  of  farms,  about  50,000,  which 
reported  eggs  produced  in  1909  but  no  fowls  on  hand 
in  1910)  was  1,457,386,000  dozens.  These  returns 
may  somewhat  understate  the  production  of  eggs 
even  on  the  farms  to  which  they  relate,  since  farmers 
seldom  keep  accurate  records  of  egg  production  and 
are  apt  to  underesthnate  it,  particularly  by  underes- 
timating the  home  consumption;  but  there  is  no  means 
of  judgmg  the  extent  of  the  deficiency  due  to  this  cause. 
An  estunate  may,  however,  be  made  for  fai-ms  which 
reported  no  eggs  produced  in  1909,  although  they  had 
fowls  hi  1910.^  In  this  way  a total  of  1,591,311,000 
dozens  is  obtained  as  the  approximate  production  of 
eggs  in  the  country  in  1909.  The  production  of  1899 
(also  partly  estimated)  was  1,293,662,000  dozens,- the 
increase  in  1909  as  compared  with  1899  being  23  per 
cent. 

The  value  of  eggs  produced  m 1909  (mcludmg  esti- 
mates) was  $306,689,000,  or  considerably  more  than 
twice  as  much  as  that  for  1899.  The  average  value 
per  dozen,  as  reported  by  the  farmers,  increased  from 
.$0,111  to  $0,193. 

About  three-fourths  of  the  farmers  who  reported 
the  production  of  eggs  in  1909  reported  also  that  they 
sold  eggs  durmg  that  year.  The  number  sold  by  them, 
as  reported,  was  926,466,000  dozens. 

‘ The  reasons  for  the  incompleteness  of  the  reports  of  poultry 
and  eggs  produced  are  similar  to  those  in  the  case  of  -wool,  set  forth 
in  a preceding  footnote.  The  method  of  estimate  used  for  poultry 
and  eggs  is  slightly  different  from  that  used  in  the  case  of  wool, 
and  theoretically  somewhat  less  correct.  Instead  of  calculating 
the  total  production  by  applying  to  the  total  number  of  fowls 
the  ratio  between  (1)  the  number  of  fowls  on  hand  April  15,  1910, 
on  farms  reporting  also  the  production  of  fowls  or  eggs  in  1909,  and 
(2)  the  total  reported  production  of  fowls  or  of  eggs  in  1909  on  the  same 
farms,  it  was  calculated  from  the  ratio  between  (1)  the  number  of 
fowls  on  hand  April  15,  1910,  on  farms  reporting  also  the  production 
of  fowls  or  eggs  in  1909,  and  (2)  the  total  reported  production  of 
fowls  or  eggs  in  1909,  which  includes  a small  'production  on  farms 
not  reporting  fowls  on  harid  in  1910.  The  quantity  produced  on 
farms  of  the  latter  class  was  so  insignificant  as  not  to  justify  the  addi- 
tional labor  of  a separate  tabulation.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Oil  the  basis  of  similar  estimates  for  farms  with  iu- 
com[)lete  reports,  the  total  number  of  fowls  raised  in 
1909  (including  those  sold,  killed,  or  on  hand  April 
1 5,  1910)  was  488,468,000  and  their  value  1202,506,000. 
The  census  of  1900  did  not  call  for  the  number  of 
fowls  raised  in  1899,  but  the  value  of  fowls  raised  in 
that  year  (partly  estimated)  was  $186,830,000,  the 
increase  between  1899  and  1909  lieing  48  per  cent. 
The  number  of  fowls  reported  sold  in  1909  was  about 
one-third  of  the  number  raised. 

Divisions  and  states:  1909  and  1899. — Table  17,  on 
the  preceding  page,  shows,  by  geographic  divisions, 
the  production  of  fowls  and  of  eggs  as  reported  for 
1909,  with  estimates  of  the  total  production. 

There  is  a decidedly  greater  difference  in  the  Moun- 
tain, West  South  Central,  and  Pacific  divisions  than 
elsewhere  between  the  reporte<l  production  of  eggs 
and  fowls  and  the  estimated  total  production. 

Table  21  shows,  by  divisions  and  states,  the  total 
number  and  value  of  eggs  produced  and  the  total 
value  of  fowls  raised  (including  estimates)  in  1909  and 
1899,  respectively,  and  also  the  sales  as  reported. 

The  relative  miportance  of  the  several  geographic 
divisions  m the  production  and  sale  of  eggs  and  of 
fowls  may  be  more  conveniently  judged  by  Table  18, 
which  shows  the  percentages  of  the  totals  which  were 
reported  from  each  division.

The  distribution  of  the  pi’oduction  of  eggs  and  of 
poidtry  among  the  divisions  naturally  conforms  more 
or  less  closely  to  the  distribution  of  the  number  of 
fowls  on  hand.  In  1909  the  West  North  C^entral 
division  produced  28  per  cent  of  the  eggs  and  25.4 
per  cent  of  the  fowls,  the  corresponding  percentages 
for  the  East  North  Central  division  being  24.7  and  21, 
respectively.  The  West  South  Central  division  ranked 
third  in  the  production  of  eggs,  but  the  South  Atlantic 
ranked  third  in  the  number  of  fowls  raised. 

In  some  of  the  divisions  a considerably  larger  pro- 
portion of  the  eggs  produced  and  of  the  fowls  raised 


arc  sold  than  in  other  divisions,  so  that  certain  differ- 
ences appear  between  the  percentages  showing  the 
distribution  of  sales  and  those  showing  the  distribu- 
tion of  production. 

Table  19  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the  increase 
in  the  quantity  and  value  of  eggs  produced,  and  in 
the  value  of  fowls  raised,  between  1899  and  1909.

of  increase  were  higher  in  some  of  the  divisions  of  the 
South  and  the  West. 

Table  20  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  the  average 
value  of  eggs  and  of  fowls  produced  and  sold,  respec-

The  total  production  of  lioney  in  the  United  States 
in  1909  was  reported  as  54,815,000  pounds,  a decrease 
of  10.3  per  cent  as  compared  with  1899.  Wax,  which 
is  a relatively  unimportant  product,  showed  a much 
greater  decrease.  The  combined  value  of  honey  and 
wax  m 1909  was  .15,992,000,  or  10  per  cent  less  than 
in  1899. 

DOMESTIC  ANIMALS  SOLD 


The  geographic  distribution  of  the  production  of 
honey  naturally  corresponds  quite  closely  to  that  of 
the  colonies  of  bees.  The  busmess  of  raising  honey 
is  very  generally  distributed  throughout  the  countiy. 
There  was  a decrease  in  the  production  of  honey 
between  1899  and  1909  in  each  of  the  geographic 
divisions  except  the  Mountain  and  the  Pacific.

The  value  of  all  domestic  animals  sold  during  1909 
was  $1,562,937,000,  and  that  of  animals  slaughtered 
on  the  farm  $270,239,000,  making  a total  of  $1,833,- 
175,000.  To  llie  total  value  of  animals  sold,  cattle 
(including  calves)  contributed  $710,015,000,  or  45.4 
per  cent;  horses,  mules,  and  asses  and  burros  together 


$306,457,000,  or  19.6  per  cent;  swine  $463,011,000, 
or  29.6  per  cent;  and  sheep  and  goats  $83,453,000,  or 
5.3  per  cent.  The  number  of  cattle  and  sheep  slaugh- 
tered on  farms  was  equal  to  but  a very  small  fraction  of 
the  number  sold,  but  the  number  of  swine  slaughtered 
was  more  than  two-lifths  as  great  as  the  number  sold.

The  value  of  domestic  animals  sold  as  reported  for 
1909  ($1,562,937,000)  is  not  at  all  comparable  vdtli 
the  value  of  animals  sold  as  reported  at  the  Twelfth 
Census  ($722,614,000),  for  the  reason  that  the  inquiry 
at  the  Thirteenth  Census  related  to  all  animals  sold 
from  the  farm,  while  that  at  the  Twelfth  Census 
related  only  to  the  sale  of  animals  which  had  been 
raised  on  the  farm  reporting. 

A very  considerable  number  of  the  animals  sold  dur- 
ing any  given  year  are  animals  previously  purchased 
by  the  farmers,  often  during  the  same  year.  The  prac- 
tice of  buying  cattle,  swine,  and  sheep  to  fatten  for 
market  is  very  common  among  farmers  in  some  sec- 
tions. Consequently  the  gross  sales  of  domestic  animals 
include  much  duplication.  On  the  other  hand,  if  the 
sales  of  animals  not  raised  on  the  farm  reporting  are 
excluded,  the  additional  value  (often  very  great)  which 
such  animals  may  acquire  between  the  time  of  purchase 
and  the  time  of  sale  is  omitted  from  the  statistics. 
Finally,  it  should  be  noted  that  the  value  of  animals 
sold  or  slaughtered,  no  matter  how  determined,  by  no 
means  represents  the  true  product  of  the  stock  raising 
industry.  An  animal,  such  as  a horse  or  a cow,  for 
example,  which  is  raised  by  a farmer  and  retained 
indefinitely  for  draft  or  dairy  purposes  is  just  as  much 
a product  of  agriculture  as  one  sold  or  slaughtered; 
this  is  true,  in  fact,  even  though  such  animal  merely 
replaces  another  which  dies  of  age  or  disease.

gether reporting  nearly  three-fourths  of  the  total. 
With  respect  to  the  value  of  domestic  animals  slaugh- 
tered on  farms,  the  East  North  Central  division  ranked 
first,  followed  by  the  West  North  Central  and  the  South

In  every  geographic  diUsion  except  the  East  North 
Central  the  value  of  cattle  and  calves  sold  in  1909 
exceeded  that  of  any  other  class  of  animals,  but  in  the 
East  North  Central  division  the  value  of  swine  sold  was 
greater  than  that  of  cattle  and  calves. 

Marked  differences  appear  among  the  geographic 


divisions  with  respect  to  the  ratio  between  the  num- 
ber of  animals — particularly  swine — sold  and  the 
number  slaughtered  on  the  farm.  In  the  leading  hog 
raising  sections,  the  East  and  West  North  Central 
divisions,  the  number  sold  in  1909  was  several  times 
greater  than  the  number  slaughtered  on  the  farm,  but 


S58 


ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


ill  tho  Middle  Atlantic,  South  Atlantic,  and  East 
South  Central  divisions  the  nuniber  sold  was  less  than 
the  number  slaughtered. 

It  should  be  noted  that  the  wide  vaiiations  in  aver- 
age value  for  as.ses  and  burros  sold  are  due  to  the  fact 


that  in  some  sections  the  sales  include  many  high- 
priced  breeding  jacks,  wliile  in  others  they  represent 
chiefly  pack  burros. 

Table  26  presents  data  regarding  animals  sold  or

The  production  of  apples  in  Humboldt  County,  Cal.,  in  1909  was 
152,585  bushels  instead  of  1,552,585  bushels,  as  shown  in  the  state 
bulletin  for  California,  and  in  the  Abstract  of  the  Thirteenth  Census. 
United  States,  geographic  division,  and  state  totals,  as  well  as  amounts 
and  percentages  of  increase  or  decrease,  whether  used  in  text  or  tables, 
are  necessarily  affected.  The  effect  of  this  error  is  small  excejjt  in  a 
study  of  the  individual  state  and  county  named.  This  error  has  been 
corrected  in  the  text  and  in  all  tables  in  Yol.  V,  “Agriculture:  Gen-

FARM  CllOrS— ACREAGE,  PRODUCTION,  AND  VALUE. 


(With  Statistics  of  Purchase  and  Sale  op  Crops  Suitable  for  Feedino  Animals,  and  op  Farm  Expenditures  for 

Labor  and  Fertilizers.) 


Introduction. — This  chapter  presents  in  condensed 
form  the  main  results  of  the  Thirteenth  Census  of  the 
United  States  with  reference  to  the  production  of 
crops  in  1909.  It  also  contains  statistics  relating  to 
the  purchase  and  sale  of  crops  suitable  for  feeding 
animals  and  to  farm  expenditures  for  labor  and  ferti- 
lizers. Statistics  pertaining  to  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto 
Rico,  and  other  outlying  possessions  are  not  included 
in  the  tables. 

The  tables  give  figures  for  each  crop  by  states, 
though  in  the  case  of  less  important  crops  states  are 
not  named  where  the  production  is  insignificant.  AH 
of  the  data  published  in  this  chapter  regarding  any 
particular  state  can  also  be  found  in  the  supplement 
for  that  state,  where  additional  detail  concerning  the 
acreage  and  production  of  the  principal  crops  by 
counties  is  also  published. 

The  tables  in  general  state  the  acreage,  production, 
and  value  of  each  crop,  by  states,  for  the  census  years 
1909  and  1899.  In  the  case  of  orchard  and  tropical 
fruits,  grapes,  and  nuts,  the  census  inquiry  was  as  to

United  States  as  a whole  are  given  in  Table  1 , on  the 
following  page. 

The  total  value  of  all  the  crops  of  the  United 
States  in  1909  was  $5,487,000,000,  as  compared  with 
$2,999,000,000  in  1899.  The  increase  in  the  later 
year  as  compared  with  the  earlier  was  therefore 
$2,488,000,000,  or  83  per  cent. 

The  value  of  the  crops  for  which  reports  of  acreage 
were  secured  amounted  in  1909  to  $5,074,000,000,  or 
about  nine-tenths  of  the  value  of  all  crops.  The  total 
acreage  of  crops  with  acreage  reports  in  1909  was 
311,293,382.  In  April,  1910,  the  land  in  farms  in  the 
United  States,  according  to  the  census  returns, 
amounted  to  878,798,325  acres,  of  which  478,451,750 
acres  were  improved.  The  crops  with  acreage  reports, 
therefore,  occupied  35.4  per  cent  of  the  total  land  in 
farms  and  65.1  per  cent  of  the  total  improved  land. 
If  the  acreage  of  fruit  and  nut  crops  grown  on  im- 
proved land  were  added,  the  proportion  of  improved 
land  occupied  by  all  crops  would  probably  be  between 
66  and  67  per  cent.  The  crops  with  acreage  reports 


the  number  of  trees  or  vines  rather  than  the  acreage. 
For  certain  seeds  and  for  straw  and  cornstalks,  acre- 
age was  not  tabulated  because  it  would  largely  dupli- 
cate the  acreage  of  primary  crops.  Forest  products 
and  maple  sugar  and  sirup  are  mainly  derived  from 
unimproved  land  and  statistics  of  acreage,  even  if 
they  could  be  obtained  accurately,  would  have  little 
significance. 

In  any  comparison  of  the  crop  of  one  year  with  that 
of  another,  acreage,  where  reported,  forms  a more 
accurate  index  than  either  the  amount  or  the  value 
of  the  crop.  The  crop  yield  is  subject  to  variations 
from  year  to  year,  according  to  the  prevalence  of 
adverse  or  favorable  weather  conditions,  while  aggre- 
gate values  reflect  changes  in  the  price  per  unit  as 
well  as  in  the  amount  of  the  crop.  On  the  other  hand, 
in  the  comparison  of  one  crop  with  another  the 
respective  acreages  do  not  indicate  the  relative  impor- 
tance so  accurately  as  do  aggregate  values,  since  the 
value  of  the  yield  per  acre  for  one  crop  may  be  much 
greater  than  for  another. 

GENERAL. 

in  1899  occupied  283,218,280  acres,  or  68.3  per  cent 
of  the  improved  land  reported  at  the  census  of  1900. 
The  area  devoted  to  these  crops  increased  by  9.9  per 
cent  between  1899  and  1909,  while  improved  land  in 
farms  increased  by  15.4  per  cent  in  the  same  period. 
The  improved  land  not  occupied  by  the  crops  specified 
includes  land  in  improved  pastures,  land  occupied  by 
orchards,  for  which  acreage  was  not  reported,  land 
lying  fallow,  and  land  in  house  yards  and  barnyards. 
It  is  possible  that,  because  of  the  difficulty  in  dis- 
criminating precisely  between  improved  and  unim- 
proved land,  the  figures  for  the  improved  land  at 
the  last  two  censuses  are  not  wholly  comparable. 
Attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  improved  farm 
land,  as  reported,  increased  by  64,000,000  acres, 
while  land  in  crops  for  which  the  acreage  was  given 
increased  only  28,000,000  acres.  It  should  be  noted, 
however,  that  the  acreage  devoted  to  orchards  and  vine- 
yards probably  increased  during  the  decade.  There 
was  also  an  increase  of  20.4  per  cent  in  the  number  of 
dairy  cows,  and  doubtless  a considerable  increase  in 
the  improved  land  in  pastures.  In  addition  to  these 
increases,  it  is  quite  probable  that  the  amount  of  land 
lying  fallow  is  greater  at  the  present  time  than  it  was 
a decade  ago  because  of  the  constant  cropping.

FARM  CniOrS,  BY  STATICS. 


361 


The  total  value  of  crops  in  1909  was  equal  to  $59.66 
per  capita  of  the  population  of  the  United  States, 
while  tlie  value  per  capita  in  1899  was  $39.46.*  There 
were  6,361,502  farms  in  the  United  States  in  1910,  so 
that  the  value  of  crops  in  1909  was  equal  to  an  aver- 
age of  $863  per  farm,  while  the  average  value  of  crops 
per  farm  for  1899  was  $523.* 

The  Census  Bureau  has  made  no  attempt  to  ascer- 
tain the  total  net  value  of  farm  products  for  1909, 
including  both  that  of  crops  and  that  of  animal  prod- 
ucts. Merely  to  add  the  value  of  these  two  groups  of 
products  together  would  involve  extensive  duplication, 
since  large  quantities  of  the  crops  reported  are  fed  to 
the  animals  on  the  farms.  It  is  impossible  to  ascer- 
tain accurately  the  amount  of  such  duplication,  and 
the  attempt  to  do  so  which  was  made  at  the  Twelfth 
Census  was  not  considered  satisfactory  in  its  results. 
For  this  reason  the  relative  importance  of  crops  in 
the  aggregate  as  a factor  in  the  agricultural  produc- 
tion of  the  United  States  can  not  be  determined  with^ 
accuracy. 

Relative  importance  of  different  crops:  1909  and 
1899. — In  comparing  the  statistics  for  individual 
crops  shown  in  Table  1,  it  should  be  noted  that  the 
returns  are  probably  more  accurate  for  the  leading 
crops  than  for  the  minor  crops.  The  reported  pro- 
duction of  fruits  and  vegetables  is  in  all  probability 
less  than  the  true  production,  as  a large  proportion  of 
these  products  are  consumed  on  the  farm  and  farmers 
are  apt  to  underestimate  the  amount  of  such  home 
consumption. 

The  relative  importance  of  the  various  individual 
crops  and  groups  of  crops  can  best  be  judged  from 
Table  2,  which  shows,  for  1909  and  1899,  the  per- 
centage of  the  total  improved  land  occupied  by  each 
important  crop  for  wliich  acreage  was  reported  and 
the  percentage  which  the  value  of  each  important 
crop  formed  of  the  total  for  all  crops.  The  table 
gives  also  the  average  value  of  each  crop  per  acre 
wherever  data  are  available. 

In  1909,  as  already  stated,  crops  with  acreage  re- 
ports occupied  65.1  per  cent  of  the  total  improved 
land.  Cereals  occupied  40  per  cent — nearly  five- 
eighths  of  the  total  acreage  of  land  in  crops  with  acre- 
age reports — hay  and  forage  15.1  per  cent,  and  cotton 
6.7  per  cent.  These  three  leading  groups  together 
thus  occupied  61.8  per  cent  of  the  improved  land. 
The  distribution  of  the  total  value  is  somewhat  differ- 
ent. Cereals  in  1909  contributed  48.6  per  cent  of 
the  total  value  of  crops,  hay  and  forage  15  per  cent, 
cotton  (including  cotton  seed)  15  per  cent,  vegetables 
(including  potatoes  and  sweet  potatoes  and  yams) 
7.6  per  cent,  fruits  and  nuts  4 per  cent,  forest  prod- 

' These  per  capita  figures  are  based  on  the  population  of  the 
United  States  on  April  15, 1910,  and  June  1,  1900,  respectively. 

^ These  averages  are  based  on  the  number  of  farms  in  the  United 
States  on  April  15,  1910,  and  June  1,  1900,  respectively. 


nets  of  farms  3.6  per  cent,  tobacco  1.9  per  cent,  and 
sugar  crops  1.1  per  cent,  leaving  only  3.1  per  cent 
for  the  other  minor  crops.  Among  the  individual 
crops,  corn,  which  occupied  20.6  per  cent  of  the  im- 
proved farm  land  in  1909  and  contributed  26.2  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops  in  that  year,  is  the 
most  important.  None  of  the  other  cereals  has  so 
great  a value  as  either  hay  and  forage  or  cotton  (in- 
cludmg  cotton  seed).  As  judged  by  value,  wheat 
ranks  fourth  among  the  crops,  oats  fifth,  and  (dis- 
regarding forest  products  as  being  a combination  of 
items)  potatoes  sixth. 

There  was  no  change  in  the  ranking  of  the  leading 
crops  between  1899  and  1909,  but  there  were,  never- 
theless, considerable  changes  in  the  proportion  of  im- 
proved land  occupied  by  some  of  them,  and  in  the 
proportion  contributed  to  the  total  value  of  crops.

By  reason  of  the  fact  that  the  wheat  area  dimin- 
I ished  and  that  of  corn  failed  to  keep  pace  with  the 
I increase  in  improved  land,  both  of  these  leading 
crops,  and  the  cereal  group  as  a whole,  occupied  a 
smaller  percentage  of  the  improved  farm  land  of  the

and  cotton  occupied  a larger  percentage.  Ray  and 
forage  as  well  as  the  cereals,  however,  contributed  a 
somewhat  smaller  ])roportion  of  the  total  value  of 
crops  in  1909  than  in  1899,  while  cotton  (including 
cotton  seed)  contributed  a materially  larger  propor- 
tion. The  combined  acreage  of  cereals  increased  only 
3.5  per  cent  during  the  decade  1899-1909,  while  that 
of  hay  and  forage  increased  17.2  per  cent  and  that  of 
cotton  32  per  cent.  Certain  minor  crops  show  higher 
percentages  of  increase  in  acreage  than  these  leading 
crops. 

The  average  value  of  crops  per  acre,  for  all  crops 
with  acreage  reports  combined,  was  $9.77  in  1899, 
and  $16.30  in  1909.  Naturally  great  dilferences  ap- 
pear among  the  individual  crops  with  respect  to 
average  value  per  acre.  These  dilferences  in  no  way 
indicate  the  relative  profitableness  of  the  different 
crops,  however,  as  some  crops  requii’e  the  use  of  much 
more  valuable  land  and  more  expensive  methods  of 
cultivation  than  others. 

Relation  of  prices  to  increase  in  value:  1899  to 
1909. — A large  part  of  the  extraordinary  increase  in 
the  total  value  of  farm  crops  between  1899  and  1909 
is  attributable  to  liigher  prices.  While  the  acreage 
of  crops  with  acreage  reports  increased  only  9.9  per 
cent,  the  value  of  such  crops  mcreased  83.3  per  cent. 
The  percentages  of  increase  in  the  quantity  of  the 
various  individual  crops,  as  shown  in  Table  1,  were  in 


nearly  all  cases  much  less  than  the  percentages  of 
increase  in  the  value.  Thus,  for  all  cereals  taken 
together,  the  production  increased  only  1.7  per  cent, 
while  the  value  increased  79.8  per  cent;  for  hay  and 
forage  the  production  increased  23  per  cent  and  the 
value  70.2  percent;  and  for  cotton  (including  cotton 
seed)  the  production  increased  11.7  per  cent  and  the 
value  122.5  per  cent. 

Table  3 shows,  for  the  leading  individual  crops  for 
which  both  quantity  produced  and  value  were  re- 
ported at  both  censuses,  the  average  value  per  unit 
in  1899  and  1909,  with  the  percentage  of  increase.  It 
also  shows  the  value  which  would  have  been  reported 
for  each  crop  in  1909  if  the  average  value  per  unit  had 
been  the  same  in  that  year  as  in  1899.  In  each  case 
a comparison  of  the  value  of  the  1909  crop  computed 
on  this  basis  with  the  actual  value  of  the  crop  of 
1899  shows  the  increase  in  value  during  the  decade 
which  was  due  to  increased  production;  while  a com- 
parison of  this  computed  value  with  the  actual  value 
of  the  crop  in  1909  shows  the  mcrease  during  the 
decade  which  was  due  to  the  increase  in  prices.  For 
certaui  crops,  principally  fruits  and  nuts,  the  values 
were  not  reported  separately  in  1900,  and  for  certain 
other  crops  quantities  were  not  reported  at  either 
census,  but  the  table  covers  nuie-tenths  of  the  crops  of 
the  coimtry  as  measured  by  value.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


3 04 


Tlio  total  reported  value  of  crops  in  1899,  compared 
in  Table  3,  was  $2,691,979,000,  and  the  total  reported 
value  of  the  same  crops  in  1909,  $4,934,490,000, 
an  increase  of  83.3  i)er  cent.  Had  the  prices  of 
1899  prevailed,  however,  the  value  of  these  crops  in 
1909  would  have  amounted  to  $2,962,358,000,  or  an 
increase  of  only  10  per  cent  over  1899,  which  indicates 
substantially  the  increase  in  the  volume  of  the  prod- 
uct. The  difference  between  $2,962,358,000  and 
$4,934,490,000,  or  $1,972,132,000,  represents  the 
amount  added  to  the  value  of  these  crops  by  reason  of 
the  increase  in  prices  over  those  for  1899,  the  average 
percentage  of  increase  in  })rices  being  thus  66.6.  For 
the  most  important  individual  crop,  corn,  the  table 
shows  that  the  actual  value  in  1909  was  $1,438,554,000, 
or  73.7  per  cent  more  than  the  value  of  the  crop  of  1899. 
If  there  had  been  no  change  in  value  per  bushel  the 
value  of  the  1909  crop  would  have  been  $792,736,000, 
or  less  than  the  value  of  the  crop  of  1899.  The 
difference,  $645,818,000,  represents  the  addition  to  the 
value  of  the  corn  crop  of  1 909  by  reason  of  the  increase 
of  81.5  per  cent  in  the  average  value  per  bushel. 

Increase  of  crop  production  and  consumption:  1899 
to  1909. — The  percentage  given  above,  10  per  cent, 
as  representing  the  increase  in  the  value  of  the  crops 
of  1909,  on  the  basis  of  the  1899  prices,  over  the  value 
of  the  same  crops  in  1899,  is  nothing  else  than  a con- 
solidated expression  of  the  general  increase  in  the  quan- 
tity of  crops  produced.  Covering,  as  it  does,  nine- 
tenths  of  the  crops  of  the  country,  it  may  properly  be 
compared  with  the  increase  of  21  per  cent  in  the  popu- 
lation of  the  United  States  between  1900  and  1910. 
During  the  decade  the  increase  in  the  number  of  farms 
was  10.9  per  cent,  the  increase  in  rural  population  11.2 
per  cent,  and  the  increase  in  urban  population  34.8  per 
cent.  As  already  stated,  the  total  acreage  of  crops  with 
acreage  reports  increased  9.9  per  cent  between  1899  and 
1909.  It  would  appear,  therefore,  that  in  the  aggre- 
gate there  was  practically  no  difference  in  the  average 
quantity  of  crops  produced  per  acre  in  the  two  years. 

The  increasing  consumption  of  crops  in  the  country 
has  been  supplied  only  in  part  by  an  increased  produc- 
tion, the  remainder  being  furnished  in  large  measure  by  a 
curtailment  of  agricultural  exports.  Thus  in  the  fiscal 
year  ending  June  30, 1900,  the  exportations  of  domestic 
breadstuffs  amounted  to  $262,744,078^  in  value,  while 
in  the  fiscal  year  1910  the  exports  of  such  commodities 
had  sunk  to  almost  one-half  of  tins  value,  namely, 
$133,191,330.'  In  view  of  the  increase  of  prices  in 
the  10  years,  it  will  readily  be  understood  that  the 
exports  have  decreased  in  quantity  considei'ably  more 
than  appears  from  the  decrease  in  value. 

Acreage  of  leading  crops:  1879  to  1909.— Because  of 
the  difficulties  arising  from  changes  in  prices,  as  well 
as  because  of  some  differences  in  the  classification  of 

' See  Statistical  Abstract  of  the  United  States,  1910,  'table  217, 
page  491. 


crops,  a complete  comparison  of  the  census  returns 
for  1909  with  those  obtained  by  the  censuses  prior 
to  1899  is  not  practicable.  For  some  of  the  leading 
crops,  however,  a comparison  with  the  censuses  of 
1879  and  1889,  as  well  as  of  1899,  can  be  made  upon  the 
basis  of  acreage.  The  acreage  of  all  cereals  in  1879 
was  119,000,000.  It  advanced  in  1889  to  140,000,000 
and  in  1899  to  184,000,000.  The  increase  in  the 
acreage  of  some  other  important  crops  was  more 
marked.  In  1879  the  acreage  of  hay  and  forage 
was  30,000,000,  advancing  to  53,000,000  in  1889,  to 
62.000,000  in  1899,  and  in  1909,  to  72,000,000,  wliich 
was  considerably  more  than  double  the  acreage  of  30 
years  before.  During  the  same  period  of  time  the 
cotton  acreage  has  more  than  doubled,  the  acreage 
in  1879  being  15,000,000  and  in  1909  32,000,000 
Tobacco  advanced  comparatively  little  in  acreage 
from  1879  to  1889  (639,000  to  695,000),  but  in  1899 
tobacco  was  harvested  from  1,101,000  acres  and  in 
1909  from  1,295,000.  Thus,  among  these  four  crops 
for  wliich  acreage  figures  are  available  for  four  cen- 
suses, the  increase  in  the  combined  cereals  has  been 
less  than  that  of  the  other  crops,  and  in  their  propor- 
tion of  the  aggregate  acreage  represented  by  these 
crops  the  cereals  are  at  the  present  time  less  important 
than  they  were  30  years  ago.  For  these  four  crops 
the  increase  in  the  acreage  from  1879  to  1909  amounted 
to  80.5  per  cent,  wliile  the  population  of  the  country 
increased  83.4  per  cent  between  1880  and  1910. 

SIGNS  AND  STATES. 

Distribution  of  all  crops,  by  divisions:  1909  and 
1899. — Table  4 shows  for  each  of  the  nine  geographic 
divisions  and  also  for  certain  larger  sections  of  the 
country  the  total  acreage  and  value  of  all  crops  with 
acreage  reports,  and  the  total  value  of  all  crops,  in- 
cluding those  without  acreage  reports,  in  1909  and 
1899.  Table  5 gives  percentages  and  averages  based 
on  Table  4.  The  North  includes  the  first  four  geo- 
graphic divisions,  the  South  includes  the  next  three, 
and  the  West  the  last  two. 

In  the  West  North  Central  division,  where  the  pro- 
portion of  improved  land  occupietl  in  1909  by  crops 
with  acreage  reports  was  highest,  t hese  crops  occupied 
69.8  per  cent  of  the  total  improved  farm  acreage  in 
that  year,  while  in  the  Pacific  division,  where  the  pro- 
portion was  lowest,  they  occupied  48.3  per  cent.  The 
Pacific  division  has  a larger  amount  of  land  devoted 
to  fruits  and  cultivated  nuts  than  any  of  the  other 
geographic  divisions,  but  it  is  probable  that  even  in 
that  division  the  land  in  such  crops  in  1909  scarcely 
exceeded  one-sixth  of  the  land  in  crops  for  which  the 
acreage,  was  reported. 

Of  the  total  value  of  all  crops  those  without  acreage 
reports  represent  somewhat  less  than  10  per  cent. 
Such  crops  are  relatively  important  in  the  New  Eng- 
land and  Pacific  divisions,  whore  fruit  crops  and  forest

In  the  value  of  all  crops  (including  those  without 
acreage  reports)  the  West  North  Central  division  ranks 
first,  its  crops  in  1909  being  valued  at  $1,445,909,000, 
or  26.4  per  cent  of  the  total  for  the  country.  This 
division,  however,  has  34.3  per  cent  of  the  improved 
farm  land  in  the  United  States.  The  East  North 
Central  division  contributed  more  than  one-fifth  of 
the  total  value  of  crops  in  1909,  and  the  South  Atlantic 
nearly  one-seventh.  Of  the  value  of  all  crops  the 
North  reported  56.9  per  cent,  the  South  35  per  cent, 
and  the  West  8.1  per  cent.  The  proportion  east  of  the 
Mississippi  was  54.1  per  cent  and  that  west  of  the 
Mississippi  45.9  per  cent. 

In  all  of  the  geographic  divisions  except  the  New 
England  and'  South  Atlantic,  crops  with  acreage 
reports  occupied  a somewhat  smaller  proportion  of  the 
improved  acreage  in  1909  than  in  1899.  In  the  New 
England  and  kliddle  Atlantic  divisions  the  acreage 
in  such  crops  decreased  between  1899  and  1909;  and 
a decrease  would  doubtless  appear  for  all  crops 


denotes  decrease. 

combined  if  reports  of  acreage  were  available  for  all. 
The  increase  in  the  acreage  of  crops  with  acreage 
rejjorts  for  the  North  (mainly  in  the  West  North 
Central  division)  was  6.8  jjer  cent;  that  for  the  South 
(mainly  in  the  West  South  Central  division),  14.2  per 
cent;  and  that  for  the  West,  23.7  per  cent.  The  table 
shows  that  the  increase  for  the  territory  east  of  the 
klississippi  was  only  1 . 1 per  cent,  while  for  that  west 
of  the  Mississippi  it  was  18.1  per  cent. 

The  absolute  increase  in  value  of  crops  between 
1899  and  1909  was  greatest  in  the  West  North  Central 
division  ($708,999,000),  but  the  percentage  of  increase 
in  that  division  (96.2)  was  less  than  that  in  the 
Mountain  division  (188.9),  that  in  the  South  Atlantic 
division  (112.7),  or  that  in  the  Pacific  division  (99.8 
per  cent).  For  the  North  the  increase  in  value  of 
crops  was  72.2  per  cent,  for  the  South  94.2  per  cent, 
and  for  the  West  125.4  per  cent. 

Eelative  importance  of  leading  crops  in  the  total 
production  of  each  division,  section,  and  state : 1909. — 
Tables  6,  7,  and  8 have  for  their  purpose  the  indica- 
tion of  the  relative  importance  of  the  principal  indi- 
vidual crops  in  the  agriculture  of  each  geographic 
division,  section,  and  state. 

The  distribution  of  the  crops  varies  greatly  in  the 
different  divisions  and  sections.  As  shown  in  Table  6, 
the  value  of  cereals  constituted  75.4  per  cent  of  the 
total  value  of  crops  in  the  West  North  Central  divi- 
sion and  65.4  per  cent  in  the  East  North  Central,  but 
in  no  other  division  did  the  proportion  exceed  35  per 
cent,  and  in  New  England  it  was  only  7.6  per  cent. 
As  judged  by  value,  hay  and  forage  is  the  most 
important  group  of  crops  in  the  New  England,  Middle 
Atlantic,  and  Mountain  divisions,  whUe  cotton  is  the 
most  important  crop  in  each  of  the  three  southern 
divisions;  in  the  South  as  a whole  the  value  of  the 
cotton  crop  (including  cotton  seed)  in  1909  was  42.7 
per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  all  crops.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


Vegetables,  including  potatoes  and  sweet  potatoes 
and  yams,  are  of  considerable  importance  in  every  geo- 
graphic division,  but  particularly  in  the  New  England 
and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions.  Fruits  and  nuts  con- 
tributed 21 .4  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops  in  the 
Pacific  division  in  1909,  and  in  the  New  England  and 
Middle  Atlantic  divisions  these  croj)s  were  also  rela- 
tively ini])ortant,  as  were  likewise  flowers  and  ])lants, 
nursery  products,  and  forest  })roducts. 

Tobacco  contril)utes  a consitlerable  proj)ortion  of 
the  value  of  crops  in  the  New  England,  South  Atlantic, 
and  East  South  Central  divisions;  and  the  sugar  crops 
are  of  considerable  im])ortance  in  the  West  South 
Central  division.  Most  of  the  other  crops  are  of  little 
relative  sigiiificance  in  any  division  of  the  country. 


The  relative  importance  of  the  leading  crops  in  each 
division  and  section  from  the  standpoint  of  acreage  is 
indicated  by  Table  7. 

The  distribution  of  acreage  among  the  several  crops 
in  general  conforms  more  or  less  closely  to  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  total  value,  so  that  little  additional 
comment  is  necessary. 

In  most  of  the  geogra{)hic  divisions  the  cereals,  hay 
and  forage,  and  cotton  together  occuj)y  nine-tenths 
or  more  of  the  total  acreage  of  crops  with  acreage 
reports.  No  other  crop  or  group  of  crops  approaches 
these  in  importance  as  judged  by  acreage,  in  any  divi- 
sion. Table  8 shows  for  individual  states,  by  percent- 
ages, the  relative  importance  of  the  principal  crops 
from  the  standpoint  of  value  and  acreage.

‘ Less  than  ono-tentli  of  1 iier  cent. 


Relative  importance  of  the  divisions  and  sections  in 
the  production  of  leading  crops:  1909. — Table  9 shows, 
for  1909,  by  percentages,  the  distribution  of  the 


total  acreage  of  each  of  the  im])ortant  crops  for  which 
acreage  was  re])Oi’ted  among  the  divisions  and  sect  ions 
of  tlic  country.  For  comjiarison,  the  distribution  of 


FARM  CROPS, 

the  iinjn’oved  fiirm  land  and  of  the  total  acreaf^e  of 
cro]>s  with  acrcaf^e  repovls  is  also  shown.  In  this 
table  the  combined  cereals  are  treated  as  a unit;  the 
corresponding^  distribution  of  the  individual  cereals 
among  the  divisions  and  sections  is  shown  in  Table  19. 

Several  of  the  most  im])ortant  crops,  including  the 
cereals  as  a grouj),  hay  and  forage,  potatoes,  miscel- 
laneous vegetables,  small  fruits,  dowers  and  plants, 
and  nursery  })roducts,  are  very  widely  distributed 
over  the  country. 


BY  STATES.  309 

The  distribution  of  the  cereal  acreage  corresponds 
more  closely  to  the  distribution  of  the  total  acreage  of 
imj)roved  farm  land  than  does  that  of  any  other  class 
of  crops,  l)ut  the  East  and  West  North  Central  divi- 
sions report  somewhat  larger  percentages  of  the  cereal 
acreage  than  of  the  improved  farm  land.  Few  of  the 
remaining  crops  arc  very  widely  distributed.  Several 
crops — cotton,  sugar  cane,  sweet  potatoes  and  yams, 
and  peanuts — are  largely  concentrated  in  the  southern 
divisions.

The  geographic  distribution  of  the  value  of  crops 
with  no  acreage  reports  is  veiy  different  from  that  of 
crops  vdth  acreage  reports.  Whereas  the  Pacific  di^■i- 
72407°— 13 24 


sion  reported  only  4.2  per  cent  of  the  value  of  crops 
ivith  acreage  reports  and  4.6  per  cent  of  the  improved 
farm  land,  that  division  reported  16.4  per  cent  of 
the  value  of  crops  with  no  acreage  reports.  This  is 
largely  due  to  the  concentration  of  the  production  of 
fruits  and  nuts  on  the  Pacific  coast.  The  West  North 
Central  division  reported  27.7  per  cent  of  the  value 
for  the  crops  with  acreage  reports,  but  only  10.3  per 
cent  for  the  crops  with  no  acreage  reports. 

Acreage  and  value  of  all  crops,  by  states : 1909  and 
1899. — Table  11  presents  by  states,  for  1909  and  1899, 
the  acreage  and  value  of  all  crojis  \vith  acreage  re- 
ports and  the  value  of  all  crops,  including  those  with- 
out acreage  reports. 

The  map  on  page  371  shows  the  distribution  of  the 
value  of  all  farm  crops  among  the  states. 

It  will  be  seen  that,  as  judged  by  the  total  value 
of  all  crops,  Illinois  was  in  1909  the  leading  agricul- 
tural state,  followed  by  Iowa,  Texas,  Ohio,  Georgia, 
Missouri,  Kansas,  New  York,  and  Indiana,  each 
reporting  more  than  .8200,000,000.  The  first  four 
states  named  occupied  the  same  rank  in  1899,  but 
Georgia  ranked  only  fifteenth  among  the  states  in 
that  year. 

With  respect  to  the  progress  made  Dy  these  leading 
states  from  1899  to  1909,  it  may  be  noted  that  only 
in  Georgia  and  Kansas  did  the  rate  of  increase  for  the 
total  value  of  all  crops  exceed  that  for  the  United

ABSTRACT  OF  ITIE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


States  as  a whole.  Moreover,  these  two  states,  together 
witli  Texas,  are  the  only  ones  in  the  group  which  report 
any  considerable  extension  of  the  acreage  of  crops 
with  acreage  reports.  In  Indiana  the  acreage  of  such 
crops  was  1.8  per  cent  higher  than  in  1899,  but  Illinois, 
Iowa,  Missouri,  Ohio,  and  New  York  all  report  a 
decrease  in  acreage. 

During  the  period  1899  to  1909  the  most  conspicu- 
ous relative  advances  m the  value  of  all  crops  took 
place  in  the  states  of  Idaho,  Washington,  North 
Dakota,  Wyoming,  Oklahoma,  and  Colorado,  in  each 
of  which  the  crops  of  1909  were  more  than  three  times  as 
valuable  as  those  of  1899.  Except  in  North  Dakota 
and  Oklahoma,  these  high  rates  of  increase  represent 
comparatively  small  absolute  increases. 

The  greatest  absolute  increase  in  the  value  of  all 
crops  occurred  in  Illinois,  where  it  amounted  to 


$157,000,000.  Other  states  in  which  the  absolute 
increase  exceeded  $100,000,000  were  Georgia,  Texas, 
North  Dakota,  Iowa,  Nebraska,  and  Kansas. 

During  the  decade  there  was  an  increase  of  over 
1,000,000  acres  in  land  devoted  to  crops  in  each  of 
the  following  states:  North  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  South 
Dakota,  Texas,  Nebraska,  Kansas,  Washington,  Geor- 
gia, and  Colorado.  New  Mexico  reported  the  liighest 
percentage  of  gain,  222.8,  followed  by  North  Dakota, 
Oklahoma,  Wyoming,  Washington,  and  Idaho.  In 
Iowa  and  California  the  loss  in  acreage  reported  was 
over  one  and  one-half  million,  and  in  New  York  and 
Pennsylvania  it  exceeded  half  a million.  Besides  these 
four  states  fourteen  others  had  less  land  in  crops  in 
1909  than  in  1899,  the  relative  decrease  being  greatest 
in  California,  followed  by  New  Hampshire,  Connecti- 
cut, and  Massachusetts.

Sale  and  purchase  of  crops  suitable  for  feeding 
animals : 1909. — In  the  case  of  some  minor  crops 
the  entire  product,  or  the  larger  part  of  it,  is  usually 
retained  upon  the  farm  for  family  consumption;  this 
is  notably  true  of  vegetables.  Of  certain  other  crops 
practically  the  entire  quantity,  except  such  as  is 
required  for  seed,  is  sold.  These  crops,  which  are 
frequently  referred  to  as  money  crops,  are  mainly 
intended  for  human  consumption,  direct  or  indirect. 
Cotton,  tobacco,  sugar  cane,  hemp,  hops,  and  to  a 
slightly  less  extent  wheat,  are  examples.  Besides  crops 
of  these  two  classes,  there  are  several  crops,  the  most 
important  being  corn,  oats,  barley,  and  hay  and  forage, 
which  are  used  chiefly  as  feed  for  animals.  A majority 
of  the  farmers  who  raise  these  crops  retain  the  entire 
pi'oduct  or  a considerable  proportion  of  it  for  their 


own  anhnals;  others  sell  their  surplus  mainly  for 
consumption  by  animals  in  cities,  towns,  and  villages, 
or  by  animals  on  farms  where  such  crops  are  not  raised 
or  are  raised  only  in  small  quantities. 

At  the  census  of  1910  the  agricultural  schedules  con- 
tained inquiries  designed  to  ascertain  not  only  the 
quantity  and  value  of  the  leading  ."feedable”  crops 
produced,  but  also  the  quantity  and  value  of  such 
crops  sold  and  the  amounts  expended  by  farmers  for 
the  purchase  of  feed  for  animals.  Table  12  presents 
statistics  of  such  sales  and  purchases  by  geographic 
divisions  and  sections,  and  Table  15  shows  them  in  less 
detail  by  states.  It  is  probable  that  these  statistics 
are  somewhat  less  accurate  than  those  of  crop  produc- 
tion, and  are  on  the  whole  an  understatement  both  of 
sales  and  of  ])urchases.

ABSTliAC.T  OF  Till]  CENSUS— AGUICULTURF. 


'riic  total  iimomit  i-oj)()rtecl  by  farmers  as  received 
(luring  1909  from  (he  sale  of  corn,  oats,  barley,  and 
hay  and  forage  was  1509,254, 000.  The  amount  re- 
ported h}^  farmers  as  expended  for  feed  for  live  stock 
was  .1299,840,000.  The  excess  of  receipts  from  sale 
over  expenditures  for  ]>urcliase  was  1209,414,000,  or 
41.1  per  cent.  This  excess  should  represent  in  a 
rougli  way  the  value  of  crops  of  this  character  sold  h}^ 
farmers  for  consumption  by  anhnals  in  cities,  towns, 
and  villages,  for  export,  or  for  human  consumption  in 
the  United  States. 

Marked  differences  a])pear  among  the  geographic 
divisions  with  resi)cct  to  the  relation  of  sales  of  feedable 
crops  to  purchases.  In  the  East  and  West  North 
Central  divisions  there  was  in  1909  a great  excess  of 
sales  over  purchases,  while  in  the  New  England  and 
Middle  Atlantic  divisions  the  sales  were  much  less 
than  the  purchases,  in  the  South  Atlantic  division 
considerably  less,  and  in  the  East  South  Central 
division  practically  the  same.  In  other  words,  in  the 
northeastern  divisions,  and  in  parts  of  the  South,  the 
farmers  do  not  raise  enough  feed  for  their  own  ani- 
mals, hut  have  to  supply  the  deficiency  by  purchase 
from  other  sections  of  the  country. 

EXPENDITURES  FOR  LABOR 

Expenditures  for  labor:  1909  and  1899. — The  sched- 
ules of  the  Twelfth  and  Thirteenth  Censuses  contamcd 
inquiries  as  to  the  amount  ])aid  by  farmers  for  hired 
labor  duimg  the  year  preceding  the  taking  of  the 
census.  No  attempt  was  made  to  ascertam  the  num- 
ber of  persons  hired.  In  many  cases  farmers  hire 
labor  only  for  a few  days  or  a few  weeks  during  the 
year  and  it  would  be  imjmssible  to  determine  the  true 
average  number  em])loycd  for  the  year;  and  the  actual 
number  employed  on  any  selected  date,  even  if  ascer- 
tahied  correctly,  might  be  by  no  means  typical  of 
average  conditions  throughout  the  year.  The  schedule 
inquiry  as  to  wages  distinguished  between  money  pay- 


The  total  value  of  the  corn,  oats,  barley,  and  hay 
and  forage  produced  during  1909  was  12,769,715,000, 
so  that  the  value  (.)f  such  crops  sold  represents  only 
18.4  per  cent  of  the  total.  Of  the  total  quantity  of 
corn  produced,  less  than  one-fifth  was  reported  as  sold; 
of  oats  slightly  more  than  one-fourth;  of  barley  about 
two-fifths;  and  of  hay  and  forage  only  a little  more  than 
one-tenth.  For  further  details  see  Table  13.

It  is  probable  that  the  latter  item  is,  in  general,  less 
correctly  reported  than  the  former,  and  that  it  is  in 
most  cases  somewhat  understated.  The  two  classes

Tlio  total  anioimt  reported  as  expended  for  farm 
labor  (including  the  value  of  rent  and  board  furnished) 
in  the  coiintry  as  a whole  in  1909  was  1651,611,000, 
as  coinpared  witli  1357,392,000  in  1899 — an  increase 


BY  STATES.  373 

of  82.3  per  cent.  This  increase  is  due  in  part  to  higher 
rates  of  wages,  and  in  part  to  employment  of  addi-

time.

The  distribution  of  the  payments  for  labor  among 
the  geograpliic  divisions  does  not  conform  very  closely 
to  the  distribution  of  the  total  acreage  of  farms,  or  of 
the  improved  acreage.  In  particular,  the  New  Eng- 
land, Middle  Atlantic,  Moimtain,  and  Pacific  divi- 
sions report  a larger  proportion  of  the  total  expendi- 
tures for  labor  than  of  either  of  the  other  items  men- 
tioned, while  the  East  and  West  South  Central 
divisions  report  a much  smaller  proportion.  These 
differences  are  probably  due  partly  to  differences  in 
the  prevailing  rate  of  wages,  but  more  largely  to 
differences  in  the  method  of  managing  farms.  Thus 


in  the  South  there  is  less  hired  labor  because  of  the 
prevalence  of  small  tenant  farms. 

These  differences  among  the  divisions  in  the  extent 
to  which  fanners  hire  labor  are  further  brought  out  by 
Table  16,  which  shows  for  1909  the  proportion  wlxich 
the  farms  in  each  division  which  reported  expendi- 
tures for  labor  in  1909  form  of  the  total  number  of 
farms  and  the  average  expenditure  per  farm  reporting. 
As  a guide  to  the  interpretation  of  this  average,  the 
average  size  of  all  farms  in  each  division  is  shown,, 
it  being  impossible  to  state  the  average  size  of  the 
farms  which  hire  labor.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


The  table  fiirtlicr  sliows  for  1909  and  1899  tlio  aver-  | 
a<>:e  expenditure  for  labor  per  acre  of  land  in  farms 
and  ])er  acre  of  improved  land  in  farms,  both  of  these 
avera<i:es  bein^  bas('d  on  the  acreage  of  all  farms  and 
not  that  of  farms  rej)orting  expenditures  for  labor. 
From  the  figures  given  it  appears  tJiat  of  the  farms  in 
the  New  England  division  G6  per  cent  hired  labor  in 
1909,  the  average  expenditure  per  farm  reporting 
being  $277,  while  in  the  East  South  Central  division, 
where  there  are  many  small  tenant  farms,  only  31.6 
per  cent  of  all  farms  hired  labor,  and  the  average 
expenditure  per  farm  was  only  $107. 

Table  17  distinguishes  between  money  payment  for 
labor  and  the  value  of  house  rent  and  board  furnished. 

For  the  United  States  as  a whole,  80.1  per  cent  of 
the  total  amount  expended  for  labor  m 1909  was  in 
the  form  of  cash,  the  remainder  (19.9  per  cent)  repre- 
senting the  value  of  rent  and  board  furnished.

Expenditures  for  fertilizers : 1909  and  1899. — At  the 
last  two  censuses  the  agricultural  schedules  contained 
inquiries  as  to  the  amount  expended  for  fertilizers. 
These  expenditures  are  made  chiefly  for  commercial 
or  artificial  fertilizers,  but  to  some  extent  for  the  pur- 
chase of  manure  or  other  natural  fertilizers  derived 
chiefly  from  cities,  towns,  and  villages.  Table  14  pre- 
sents data  regarding  expenditures  for  fertilizers  by 
geographic  divisions  and  sections.  Less  detailed  data 
for  each  state  appear  in  Table  15. 


The  total  amount  reported  as  spent  for  fertilizers 
by  the  farmers  of  the  United  States  in  1909  was 
$114,883,000,  an  increase  of  115  per  cent  as  compared 
with  the  expenditure  in  1899. 

There  is  a wide  diversity  among  the  sections  of  the 
country  with  reference  to  the  practice  of  buying  fer- 
tilizers. The  great  bulk  of  the  expenditure  reported 
in  1909  was  in  New  England,  the  Middle  Atlantic  di- 
vision, the  states  of  Ohio  and  Indiana  in  the  East 
North  Central  division,  the  South  Atlantic  division 
(which  reported  more  than  half  of  the  total),  and  the 
East  South  Central  division.  In  the  other  sections  of 
the  country  the  fertility  of  the  soil,  in  so  far  as  any 
attempt  is  made  to  conserve  it,  is  usually  maintained 
rather  by  rotation  of  crops,  letting  the  land  lie  fallow, 
or  using  manure  derived  from  live  stock.  Differences 
in  the  character  of  the  soil  and  in  the  kinds  of  crops 
raised  have  a direct  bearing  on  the  use  of  commercial 
fertilizers.  The  South  Atlantic  division  shows  a 
higher  rate  of  increase  in  expenditures  for  fertilizers 
(162.3  per  cent)  between  1899  and  1909  than  any 
other.  In  the  West  North  Central  division,  where  the 
expenditures  for  fertilizers  at  both  censuses  were  very 
low,  they  were  considerably  less  in  1909  than  in  1899. 

The  percentages  and  averages  in  Table  16  show 
further  the  differences  among  the  geographic  divisions 
with  respect  to  the  practice  of  buying  fertilizers.  In 
the  country  as  a whole  in  1909,  28.7  per  cent  of  the 
farms  bought  fertilizers,  the  average  expenditure  per 
farm  being  $63.  In  the  South  Atlantic  division  69.2 
per  cent  of  all  the  farms  reported  some  expenditure  for 
fertilizers  in  1909,  the  average  per  farm  reporting  being 
$77,  while  in  the  West  North  Central  division  only  2.1 
per  cent  of  the  farms  bought  fertilizers,  and  the  average 
amount  spent  per  farm  was  only  $41,  notwithstanding 
the  fact  that  the  farms  of  this  section  average  much 
larger  than  those  in  the  South  Atlantic  division.  The 
expenditures  for  fertilizers  in  the  South  Atlantic  divi- 
sion were  equal  to  $1.23  for  each  acre  of  improved 
land  in  farms  (based  on  all  farms  and  not  merely  those 
reporting  expenditures  for  fertilizers),  while  in  the  West 
North  Central  division  the  corresponding  average  was 
only  $0.01. 


THE  CEREALS. 


C!onsidered  as  an  aggregate  the  cereals  are,  both  in 
acreage  and  value,  the  most  important  of  the  crops  of 
the  United  States.  In  1909  they  occupied  40  per  cent 
of  all  im])rove(l  farm  land,  and  contributed  48.6  per 
cent  of  tlie  value  of  all  crops.  The  acreage,  produc- 
tion, and  value  of  the  combined  cereals  in  1909,  with 
comparative  figures  for  1899,  are  given  in  Table  21. 

Attention  has  already  been  called  to  the  large  share 
which  the  two  North  (’entral  divisions  have  in  the 
acreage  of  cereals.  With  upwards  of  126,000,000 
acres  in  1909  these  two  divisions  contained  nearly 
two-thirds  of  the  total  cereal  acreage  of  the  country, 
though  at  the  same  time  it  should  be  noted  that  these 


divisions  contained  slightly  more  than  one-half  of  all  the 
improved  farm  land.  wSeveii  states — Illinois,  Kansas, 
Iowa,  Nebraska,  North  Dakota,  Missouri,  and  Minne- 
sota— with  an  aggregate  of  92,000,000  acres,  contained 
nearly  one-half  of  the  total  acreage  in  cereals  in  1909. 

Com])aring  1909  with  1899,  the  figures  for  the  United 
States  as  a whole  show  an  increase  of  3.5  per  cent  in 
the  acreage  of  cereals  and  of  only  1.7  ])er  cent  in  pro- 
duction, the  difference  in  the  rate  of  increase  being 
duo  to  a slightly  smaller  production  j)cr  acre.  During 
the  decade  the  po{)ulation  increased  21  per  cent,  while 
the  ])er  capita  production  of  cereals,  which  in  1899  was 
58.4  bushels,  was  in  1909  only  49.1  bushels.  With  a 


FARM  CROPS,  BY  STATES. 


375 


production  only  slightly  larger,  the  value  of  the  cereal 
crop  in  1009  exceeded  that  in  1899  by  $1,183, 000, 000, 
or  79.8  per  cent. 

The  slight  gain  which  has  been  noted  in  the  cereal 
acreage  was  far  from  being  evenly  distributed  through- 
out the  country.  Indeed,  all  divisions  east  of  the 
Mississi])pi  River  lost  in  acreage,  the  aggregate  loss 
being  over  0,000, 000  acres.  West  of  the  Mississippi 
River,  on  the  other  hand,  all  divisions  except  the 
Pacific  increased  their  acreage,  with  a net  gain  of  over 
12,000,000  acres.  Twenty-seven  states  had  a smaller 
acreage  of  cereals  in  1909  than  in  1899.  Of  the  seven 
leading  states  mentioned  above.  North  Dakota  in- 
creased its  acreage  enormously  during  the  decade, 
Kansas  made  a considerable,  and  Nebraska  a slight 
gain,  but  in  Ihinois,  Iowa,  Minnesota,  and  Missouri 
decreases  occurred. 

The  distribution  of  production  throughout  the 
several  divisions  and  the  increase  or  decrease  from  one 
year  to  another  foUow  the  conditions  observed  in  re- 
garil  to  acreage  approximately,  but  not  exactly,  since 
variations  in  the  average  peld  in  different  sections 
make  some  changes  in  the  proportions.  F or  the  United 
States  as  a whole  the  production  was  practically  the 
same  in  1909  as  in  1899,  with  an  increase  of  only  1.7 
per  cent  in  the  later  year  as  compared  with  the  earlier. 

Twenty-one  states  reported  a smaller  production  in 
1909  than  in  1899.  Of  the  seven  leading  states.  North 
Dakota  shows  an  increase  in  production  even  greater 
relatively  than  that  in  acreage,  and  Minnesota  shows 
a slight  increase  in  production,  in  spite  of  a flecrease 
in  acreage,  wliile  Illinois, 'Kansas,  Iowa,  Nebraska,  and 
Missouri  show  a decrease  in  production,  though  Kansas 
and  Nebraska  gained  in  acreage. 

Table  21  shows  that  the  remarkable  increase  in  the 
value  of  the  cereal  crop  disclosed  by  the  census  gen- 
erally was  shared  by  all  divisions.  In  only  one  state, 
California,  was  there  any  decrease  in  the  value  of  the 
cereal  production  in  1909  as  compared  with  1899. 
Elsewhere  the  general  advance  in  values  more  than 
offset  such  losses  as  occurred  in  production. 

While  the  cereals  will  later  be  discussed  individually, 
it  is  of  interest  to  consider  here  the  relative  importance 
of  the  different  crops.  This  !s  shown  in  Table  18, 
which  gives  for  the  United  States  and  for  each  geo- 
graphic division  and  section  the  percentage  of  the  ag- 
gregate cereal  acreage  which  was  occupied  by  each 
crop  in  1909. 

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  a little  more  than 
one-haK  of  the  acreage  devoted  to  cereals  is  in  corn, 
a little  less  than  one-fourth  in  wheat,  and  somewhat 
more  than  one-sixth  in  oats.  In  each  of  the  nine  divi- 
sions except  the  Pacific  the  three  leading  cereals- — corn, 
wheat,  and  oats — occupy,  as  in  the  United  States  at 
large,  much  more  than  three-fourths  of  the  total 
cereal  acreage.  In  the  Pacific  states  the  acreage  of 
corn  is  insignificant  and  that  of  barley  exceeds  that 


of  oats.  Corn  occupies  the  leading  place  in  tlie  im- 
portant cereal  producing  regions,  but  in  the  New 
England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions  the  first  place 
is  held  by  oats,  and  in  the  Pacific  and  Mountain 
divisions  by  wheat.  The  cereals  included  under  the 
head  of  “all  other”  in  the  final  column  of  the  table 
are  emmer  and  spelt,  kafir  corn,  and  rice.  The  share 
of  these  in  the  aggregate  acreage  in  most  divisions  is 
slight,  but  in  the  West  South  Central  division  kafir 
corn  occupies  5.7  per  cent  and  rice  3 per  cent  of  the 
total  cereal  acreage.

wheat  is  second  in  importance,  with  oats  a close  third. 
In  the  West,  however,  wheat  occupies  one-half  the

This  distribution  reflects  in  part  the  size  of  the  differ- 
ent divisions  and  sections  of  the  country,  or,  rather,  the 
amount  of  improvetl  land  in  them.  Hence  for  the 
three  leading  cereals,  corn,  oats,  and  wheat,  the  largest 
proportion  of  the  acreage  is  found  in  the  West  North

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Central  division  and  the  next  largest  in  the  East 
Nortli  Central  division.  In  the  acreage  of  barley  the 
proiuinence  of  the  West  North  Central  division  is  even 
more  clearly  inai'ked,  but  the  Pacific  division  shows  a 
larger  proportion  of  the  total  than  the  East  North 
Central.  The  center  of  buckwheat  production  is  in 
the  Middle  Atlantic  division,  wliich  has  more  than 
two-tliirds  of  the  total  acreage.  In  the  case  of  rye 
the  East  North  Central  division  leads,  followed  by  the 
Middle  Atlantic  and  West  North  Central,  which  have 
almost  identical  pi-oportions.  Of  the  acreage  of  cereals 
not  shown  in  the  table,  95.5  per  cent  of  that  in  lice  is 
in  the  West  South  Central  division;  67.7  per  cent  of 
that  in  kafu’  corn  is  in  the  same  division;  and  91.1 
per  cent  of  that  in  emmer  and  spelt  is  in  the  West 
North  Central  division. 

About  three-lifths  of  the  corn  acreage  and  more  than 
three-fourths  of  that  of  each  of  the  other  cereals  men- 
tioned in  the  table  are  in  the  North.  The  South  has 
a much  larger  proportion  of  the  acreage  of  corn  than 
of  that  of  the  other  cereals,  wliile  the  West  has  nearly 
one-fourth  of  the  acreage  of  barley. 

Table  20  gives  the  acreage  of  the  cereal  group  as 
a whole  and  of  the  several  cereal  crops,  as  reported 
at  each  census  from  1879  to  1909.  The  distribution 
of  the  acreage  of  all  cereals  in  1909  among  the  states 
is  shown  by  the  map  below. 

The  acreage  of  the  cereals  increased  rapidly  during 
the  20  years  preceding  1899,  being  in  that  year  nearly 
45,000,000  greater  than  in  1889  and  66,000,000  greater 
than  in  1879.  In  the  last  decade,  however,  the  in- 
crease in  the  acreage  of  the  cereal  crops  amounted  to 


but  little  more  than  6,000,000.  Corn  and  wheat  made 
their  greatest  gains  in  the  decade  ending  with  1899, 
and  since  that  time  the  increase  in  the  acreage  of  corn 
has  been  relatively  small,  while  the  acreage  of  wheat 
has  fallen  off  more  than  8,000,000.  After  an  increase 
of  over  12,000,000  in  the  acreage  of  oats  between  1879 
and  1889  this  crop  made  a comparatively  slight  increase 
in  the  following  10  years,  but  in  the  decade  ending 
with  1909  gained  nearly  6,000,000  acres.  Of  the  minor 
cereals,  barley  shows  a sidistantial  increase  in  each 
decade,  while  the  acreage  of  rye  increased  about  one- 
sixth  between  1879  and  1889,  but  shows  compara- 
tively little  change  during  the  next  20  years,  and  the 
acreage  of  buckwheat  has  remained  practically  station- 
ary during  the  30  years  covered  by  the  table.  The 
acreage  of  rice  changed  but  little  during  the  first 
decade,  but  practically  doubled  during  each  succeed- 
ing one.  At  each  census  corn  has  occupied  more  than 
half  of  the  cereal  acreage,  while  wheat  has  ranked  sec- 
ond and  oats  third.

The  percentage  of  the  acreage  m each  geographic 
divisionhas  already  been  discussed.  The  leading  states 
in  acreage  of  corn  are  Illinois,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Nebraska, 
and  Missouri,  in  the  order  named.  Each  of  these  states 
had  more  than  7,000,000  acres  in  corn  in  1909,  their 
aggregate  acreage  being  nearly  42,000,000,  or  over  two- 
fifths  of  the  total  corn  acreage  of  the  United  States. 
The  distribution  of  the  corn  acreage  of  1909  among 
the  states  is  shown  by  the  map  on  page  384. 

In  the  United  States  as  a whole  corn  occupies  about 
one-fifth  of  the  improved  land  in  farms,  this  propor- 
tion being  exceeded  in  each  of  the  five  principal  agri- 
cultural divisions.  In  the  five  states  mentioned  above 
corn  occupies  more  than  one-fourth  of  the  improved 
land  in  farms,  while  in  Illinois  it  occupies  more  than  one- 
third  and  in  Iowa  almost  one-third. 

Table  23  shows  that  by  far  the  most  extensive 
change  in  the  acreage  of  corn  during  the  decade  from 
1899  to  1909  was  in  the  West  South  Central  division, 
where  the  area  harvested  increased  3,731,()0()  acres,  or 
33.4  per  cent,  almost  all  of  this  increase  taking  place  in 
the  single  state  of  Oklahoma.  It  may  be  noted  also 
that  the  gain  in  this  state  is  equivalent  to  98.4  per  cent 
of  the  entire  net  increase  in  the  total  com  acreage  of  the 
United  States.  lAr  the  Mountain  division  a very  high 
percentage  of  increase  is  recorded,  though  the  acreage 
is  still  small.  A marked  relative  decrease  is  shown  for 
the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions,  but 


in  neither  is  the  production  of  corn  very  important. 
Among  the  leading  corn  states,  there  were  increased 
acieages  in  Minnesota,  North  Dakota,  and  South 
Dakota,  and  decreased  acreages  in  Iowa  and  Missouri. 

The  average  yield  for  the  United  States  was  25.9  bush- 
els per  acre  in  1909  and  28.1  bushels  in  1899.  Among 
the  geographic  divisions  which  have  a considerable 
acreage  in  corn,  the  highest  yield  in  1 909  was  in  the  East 
North  Central  division  and  the  lowest  in  the  West  South 
Central  division.  In  the  West  North  Central  and 
West  South  Central  divisions,  which  contain  about  one- 
half  of  the  total  corn  acreage,  the  average  yield  in  1909 
was  conspicuously  lower  than  in  1899.  In  the  other 
divisions  the  average  per  acre  changed  but  little. 
Among  the  principal  corn  states,  Kansas  showed  a very 
conspicuous  falling  off  in  average  yield,  and  of  the  five 
states  named  in  the  table,  Illinois  was  the  only  one  in 
which  the  yield  did  not  decrease.  By  reason  of  these 
differences  in  average  yield  per  acre,  the  changes  in 
the  total  production  of  the  various  divisions  and  states 
do  not  correspond  very  closely  with  the  changes  in 
acreage.  Two  divisions  with  increased  acreages  report 
a smaller  production  in  1909  than  in  1899,  and  two  with 
reduced  acreages  report  a greater  production.  In  each 
of  the  five  states  which  lead  in  acreage  both  the  acreage 
and  the  production  decreased  during  the  decade,  but  in 
Kansas  and  Nebraska  the  decrease  in  production  was 
much  more  pronounced  than  that  in  acreage. 

The  average  value  of  corn  per  bushel  in  1909  was 
$0.56,  as  compared  with  $0.31  in  1899.  The  divisions 
from  which  the  highest  average  values  are  reported  are, 
with  the  exception  of  the  South  Atlantic  and  East  South 
Central  divisions,  those  having  a comparatively  small 
acreage  in  corn.  With  the  great  advance  in  average  value 
per  bushel,  there  was  a corresponding  advance  in  the 
average  value  per  acre,  though  by  reason  of  a decreased 
yield  per  acre  the  percentage  of  increase  was  not  so  great. 
For  the  crop  as  a whole,  however,  the  advance  in  the 
average  value  per  bushel,  desjnte  a diminished  produc- 
tion, resulted  in  an  enormous  increase  in  aggregate 
value,  in  which  every  state  except  Vermont  shared. 

The  per  capita  production  of  corn  in  1909  was  27.7 
bushels,  as  compared  with  35.1  bushels  in  1899.  The 
decreased  production  [)er  capita,  with  the  accompany- 
ing increase  in  price,  has  resulted  in  a great  falling  off 
in  exports.  For  the  year  ending  June  30,  1900,  ex- 
ports amounted  to  213,123,000  bushels,  equal  to  8 per 
cent  of  the  crop  of  1899,  while  for  the  year  ending  June 
30,  1910,  they  amounted  to  oidy  38,128,000  bushels, 
or  1 .5  per  cent  of  the  croj)  of  1 909.  With  the  exception 
of  the  year  1908,  this  is  the  smallest  proportion  of  the 
corn  crop  exported  iu  any  year  since  1870.  Of  the 
1899  crop  the  amount  remaiiiiiig  for  borne  use  was 

2.453.000. 000  bushels,  while  of  the  1909  crop  it  was 

2.514.000. 000  bushels — the  amount  retained  in  1909 
being  the  greater  by  61,000,000  bushels.  Thus  in 
1899,  32.3  bushels  per  capita  remained  for  home  use, 
and  in  1909,  27.3  bushels.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Wheat. — For  tlic  United  States  as  a whole  the  area 
harvestcMl  in  1909  was  4*1, 2(53, 000  acres,  as  compared 
with  52,589,000  acres  in  1899,  a decrease  of  15.8  per 
cent.  On  the  other  hand,  tlie  production  in  1909  was 
083, 000, 000  bushels,  or  3.8  per  cent  greater  than  in 
1899,  when  it  was  059,000,000  bushels.  The  value  of 
the  croj)  of  1 909  was  $058,000,000,  an  advance  of 
$288,000,000,  or  77.8  per  cent,  over  the  value  in  1899, 
$370,000,000.  Wheat  in  1909  occupied  9.3  per  cent 
of  the  total  improved  farm  land,  and  its  value  repre- 
sented 12  ])er  cent  of  the  total  for  all  crops.  Details 
in  regard  to  the  })roduction  of  wheat  in  1909  and  1899 
are  given  in  Table  25,  while  a summary  of  averages 
and  })ercentages,  derived  mainly  from  this  table,  is 
given  in  Table  24.

1 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


Considerably  more  than  one-half  of  the  acreage  in 
wheat  in  1909  was  found  in  the  West  North  Central 
division.  The  East  North  Central  division,  which 
reported  the  next  largest  acreage,  contained  15.9  per 
cent  of  the  total,  and  the  Pacific,  which  is  third  in  rank, 
7.6  per  cent.  The  map  on  page  384  shows  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  wheat  acreage  among  the  states. 

^Vlieat  occupies  in  the  United  States  as  a whole 
nearly  10  per  cent  of  the  improved  land  in  farms,  but 
in  the  West  North  Central  and  Pacific  divisions  the 
proportion  exceeds  15  per  cent.  The  proportion  is  in- 
significant in  the  New  England  division  and  is  smaller 
in  the  southern  than  in  the  other  northern  divisions. 

Tlie  leading  state  in  wheat  profluction  is  North 
Dakota,  with  an  acreage  exceeding  8,000,000  and 
greater  than  that  of  any  geographic  diUsion  except  the 
West  North  Central,  in  which  the  state  is  situated. 
Kansas,  with  nearly  6,000,000  acres  of  wheat,  and 
Minnesota  and  South  Dakota,  with  over  3,000,000, 
follow.  The  four  states  named  have  nearly  21 ,000,000 
acres  in  wheat,  or  over  two-fifths  of  the  wheat  acreage 
of  the  United  States. 

Between  1899  and  1909  there  was  again  of  778,000 
acres,  or  3.1  jier  cent,  in  the  West  North  Central 
division  and  a gain  about  half  as  hirge  in  the  Mountain 
division.  In  all  other  divisions  the  iicreage  decreased, 
the  greatest  absolute  loss  being  that  of  over  3,000,000 
acres  in  the  East  North  Central  division.  Of  the  48 
states  rejiorting  wheat,  37  show  a loss  in  acreage. 


Among  the  four  leading  states  already  mentioned,. 
North  Dakota  and  Kansas  show  conspicuous  gains 
in  acreage,  but  South  Dakota  and  Minnesota  show 
decreases,  the  acreage  in  the  latter  having  fallen  off 
(uic-half. 

The  average  yield  of  wheat  in  1909  was  15.4  bushels 
per  acre.  Of  the  divisions  with  a large  acreage,  the 
West  North  Central  had  a slightly  lower  and  the  East 
North  Central  and  Pacific  a slightly  higher  yield  per 
acre  than  the  average  for  the  United  States.  The  three 
southern  divisions  fell  considerably  below  that  average. 
As  compared  with  the  yield  of  12.5  bu-shels  per  acre  in 
1899,  that  of  1909  was  considerably  larger.  With  the 
exception  of  the  West  South  Central  division,  larger 
yields  \vere  reported  in  all  the  divisions  in  1909  than 
in  1899,  and  the  same  was  true  of  each  of  the  four 
leading  wheat  states  listed  in  the  table. 

In  the  country  as  a whole  the  increased  Held  per  acre 
was  sufficient  to  counterbalance  the  decrease  in  acreage. 
In  the  West  North  Central  and  Mountain  divisions, 
wdiich  gained  in  acreage,  there  was  a still  greater  gain 
in  production.  In  the  other  divisions,  except  the  West 
South  Central,  the  loss  in  production  was  not  so  great 
as  in  acreage.  In  the  states  of  North  Dakota  and 
Kansas,  the  percentage  of  increase  in  production  was 
greater  than  that  in  acreage.  In  South  Dakota  the 
increased  yield  per  acre  caused  an  increase  in  pro- 
duction, although  the  acreage  was  smaller,  and  in 
Minnesota  the  loss  in  production  w^as  less  pronounced 
than  that  in  acreage. 

The  average  value  of  wheat  per  bushel  in  1909  was 
$0.96,  but  three  divisions  onR,  the  West  North  Central, 
]\Iountain,  and  Pacific,  reported  an  average  value  of 
less  than  $1.  Tliis  represents  an  enormous  increase 
over  the  value  in  1899,  when  the  average  for  the  United 
States  was  .$0.56  per  bushel.  The  average  value  of  the 
wheat  crop  per  acre  more  than  doubled  between  1899 
and  1909.  In  each  division,  except  the  New  England, 
East  South  Central,  and  West  South  Central  divisions, 
the  increase  in  average  value  per  bushel  more  than 
offset  the  loss  in  production  and  the  total  crop  had 
a greater  aggregate  value  in  1909  than  in  1899.  It 
may,  however,  be  noted  that  20  states  show  a falling 
off  in  the  value  of  the  wheat  crop,  the  most  notable 
decreases  being  in  California,  Texas,  and  Iowa. 

In  1899  the  per  cajuta  production  of  wheat  was  8.7 
bushels  and  in  1909,  7.4  bushels.  This  falling  off  in 
production  per  capita  was  counterbalanced  largely  by 
a decrease  in  the  amount  ex])orted.  Wheat  imports 
are  insignificant  and  may  be  disregarded.  In  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1900,  there  was  exported  in  the  form 
of  wheat  and  flour  the  ecpiivaleut  of  186,097,000 
bushels,  or  28.3  per  cent  of  the  crop  of  1899.  Ten 
years  later  the  exports  were  oidy  87,364,000  bushels,  or 
12.8  per  cent  of  the  crop  of  1909.  For  home  consump- 
tion there  remained  of  the  croj)  of  1899,  472,437,000 
bushels,  or  6.2  bushels  per  capita,  as  compared  with 
596,015,000  bushels,  or  6.5  bushels  per  capil  a,  refaiued 
of  the  crop  of  1909.

of  the  total  for  all  crops.  Detailed  figures  concerning 
the  production  of  oats  in  1909  and  1899  are  given  in 
Table  27,  and  a summary  of  the  averages  and  percent- 
ages for  the  geographic  divisions  and  leading  states,

Of  the  total  acreage  of  oats,  44.7  per  cent  was  re- 
ported from  the  West  North  Centrid  division  and  31.9 
per  cent  from  the  East  North  Central.  In  the  latter, 
oats  occupy  about  one-eighth,  in  the  former  somewhat 
less  than  one-tenth,  of  the  improved  land  in  farms. 
They  are  also  a crop  of  some  importance  in  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  in  which  they  occupy  about  one- 
twelfth  of  the  improved  land  in  farms. 

The  leading  state  in  the  acreage  of  oats  in  1 909  was 
Iowa,  with  4,655,000  acres,  clo.sely  followed  by  Illinois, 
with  4,176,000.  Minnesota,  Nebraska,  Wisconsin,  and 
North  Dakota,  ranking  in  the  order  named,  also  had 
each  more  than  2,000,000  acres  in  oats.  These  six 
leading  states  had  together  over  18,000,000  acres  of  oats 
in  1909,  or  more  than  one-half  of  the  acreage  for  the 
whole  country. 

Comparing  1909  with  1899,  the  Middle  Atlantic  and 
West  South  Central  divisions  show  an  aggregate  loss 
of  257,000  acres,  but  an  aggregate  gain  of  5,876,000 
acres  was  re])orted  for  the  remaining  divisions,  or  a 
net  gain  of  5,620,000,  or  19  per  cent,  for  the  whole 
country.  The  greatest  absolute  gain — over  3,600,000 
acres — was  in  the  West  North  Central  division,  but 
larger  relative  increases  occurred  in  the  Mountain  and 
Pacific  divisions.  Among  the  states.  North  Dakota 
shows  an  increase  of  over  1 ,300,000  acres.  A gain  of 


more  than  500,000  acres  each  is  also  reported  for  South 
Dakota,  Minnesota,  Ohio,  and  Indiana.  Of  the  six  states 
named  above  as  leading  in  the  acreage  of  oats,  three — 
Iowa,  Illinois,  and  Wisconsin — show  decreases  for  the 
decade,  while  increases  took  place  in  the  remainder. 

The  average  yield  in  1909  of  28.6  bushels  per  acre 
for  the  country  as  a whole  was  exceeded  in  the  East 
North  Central  division,  but  was  not  attained  by  the 
West  North  Central  division,  nor  by  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division.  Of  the  divisions  where  the  acreage 
of  oats  is  less  important,  the  New  England,  Mountain, 
and  Pacific  divisions  exceeded  this  average,  while  the 
remainder  fell  below  it.  For  the  United  States  as  a 
whole  the  average  yield  per  acre  in  1909  was  somewhat 
below  that  of  1899.  This  was  true  also  of  the  three 
divisions  with  the  largest  acreage  and  of  the  New 
England  and  West  South  Central  divisions,  but  in  the 
other  divisions  the  average  yield  in  1909  was  greater 
than  in  1899. 

There  was  in  the  United  States  as  a whole  a some- 
what larger  crop  of  oats  in  1909  than  in  1899.  Two 
divisions  which  lost  in  acreage  had  also  a smaller  pro- 
duction, while  two  others  showed  a diminished  produc- 
tion in  combination  with  an  increase  in  acreage. 
Among  the  remaining  divisions,  the  rate  of  increase 
in  production  was  considerably  less  than  that  in  acre- 
age in  the  West  North  Central  division,  which  produced 
over  two-fifths  of  the  entire  crop,  but  in  the  divisions 
with  a smaller  production  the  crop  increased  more 
rapidly  than  the  acreage.  Among  the  several  states,  the 
largest  gain  in  the  production  of  oats  was  in  North 
Dakota,  where  the  crop  of  1909  was  nearly  three 
times  as  great  as  that  of  1899.  A considerable  gain 
was  also  made  in  Minnesota,  but  in  the  other  states 
which  have  been  noted  as  leading  in  acreage  there  was 
a diminished  production,  especially  in  Iowa,  the  fii’st 
on  the  list  as  measured  by  acreage. 

The  average  value  per  bushel  of  the  oat  crop  was 
.$0.41  in  1909,  as  compared  with  .$0.23  in  1899,  an  ad- 
vance of  78.3  per  cent.  As  is  frequently  the  case,  the 
average  values  are  somewhat  higher  in  the  divisions 
with  relatively  small  production  than  in  those  with 
large  production.  All  divisions,  however,  show  a 
marked  advance  for  1909  as  compared  with  1899.  By 
reason  of  the  smaller  yield  per  acre  the  value  of  the 
crop  per  acre  did  not  increase  in  the  same  proportion 
as  tlie  average  value  per  bushel.  As  a result  of  the 
increased  acreage  in  the  country  as  a whole,  however, 
there  was  an  increase  in  the  aggregate  value  of  the 
cro]),  amounting  to  91  per  cent.  This  increase  is  shared 
by  all  divisions,  though,  as  already  noted,  some  show  a 
decrease  in  acreage  and  some  a decrease  in  ])roduction. 
The  elTect  of  the  change  in  value  is  particularly 
noticeable  in  the  case  of  the  state  of  Iowa,  which  leads 
in  the  acreage  of  oats.  In  the  10  years  the  acreage 
in  that  state  remained  practically  stationary,  the  ])ro- 
duction  fell  off  nearly  one-fourth,  but  the  value  of  the 
crop  increased  nearly  one-half.

Al^SIMIACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Minor  cereals. — The  minor  cereals  occupy  only  7.1 
])er  cent  ol'  the  entire  ac.reafte  devoted  to  cereals  in  the 
United  States.  Statistics  are  given  for  each  in  Tables 
28  to  33. 

Barley. — Of  the  minor  cereals,  barley  (Table  28), 
which  oc.cu])ies  4 per  cent  of  the  entire  cereal  acreage 
of  the  United  States,  is  by  far  the  most  important.  Of 
the  aggregate  barley  acreage  of  7,698,700,  considerably 
more  than  one-half  was  found  in  the  West  North  Central 
division.  Other  divisions  where  this  is  an  im])ortant 
crop  are  the  Pacific  and  the  East  North  Central,  the 
three  divisions  named  containing  together  94.1  per 
cent  of  the  total  acreage  in  1909.  Four  states,  Min- 
nesota, North  Dakota,  California,  and  South  Dakota, 
ranking  in  the  order  named,  have  an  acreage  in  excess 
of  1,000,000  each,  and  together  contain  more  than  two- 
thirds  of  the  total  for  the  whole  country.  Large  acre- 
ages are  also  reported  for  Wisconsin  and  Iowa. 

The  acreage  in  barley  was  larger  in  1909  than  in  1899 
by  3,228,510  acres,  or  72.2  per  cent.  Almost  three- 
fourths  of  this  increase  was  reported  from  the  West 
North  Central  division,  where  the  acreage  more  than 
doubled  during  the  period.  The  percentage  of  increase 
in  the  Mountain  division  was  greater  than  in  any  other. 
Only  in  divisions  of  small  acreage  was  there  a decrease. 
In  the  three  divisions  which  led  in  acreage  there  was 
an  increase  in  the  acreage  of  every  state  except  Ohio 
and  Iowa. 

The  crop  of  1909,  173,000,000  bushels,  exceeded  that 
of  1899,  120,000,000  bushels,  by  44.9  per  cent,  the 
average  yield  per  acre  being  22.5  bushels  in  1909  and 
26.8  bushels  in  1899.  The  increase  in  production  in 
1909  over  1899  for  the  country  as  a whole  was  there- 
fore somewhat  less  relatively  than  the  increase  in 
acreage.  The  same  statement  is  true  for  each  of  the 
divisions  which  are  prominent  in  the  production  of  bar- 
ley, but  in  some  of  the  less  important  divisions  the 
increase  in  production  was  greater  than  that  in  acre- 
age. Divisions  with  a decreased  acreage  had  also  a 
decreased  production.  In  the  three  divisions  which 
led  in  production  all  the  states,  with  the  exception  of 
Ohio,  Iowa,  Indiana,  and  Nebraska,  show  increases  in 
production. 

The  value  of  the  crop  in  1909,  $92,459,000  (equal  to 
1.7  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops)  was  more 
than  twice  as  great  as  in  1899,  the  average  value  per 
bushel  increasing  from  35  to  53  cents,  or  51.4  per 
cent,  and  the  average  value  per  acre  from  $9.31  to 
$12.01,  or  29  per  cent.  In  the  New  England,  Middle 
Atlantic,  and  West  South  Central  divisions  there  was 
a decrease  in  total  value,  but  it  was  considerably  less 
relatively  than  that  in  either  acreage  or  production. 

Rye. — Judged  by  acreage,  rye  (Table  29)  is  somewhat 
less  than  one-third  as  important  as  barley.  Of  the 
2,195,561  acres  in  rve  in  the  United  States  in  1909 


about  three-fourths  were  located  east  of  the  Mississippi 
River.  The  leading  division  in  acreage  is  the  East 
North  Central,  the  Middle  Atlantic  ranking  next.  There 
is,  however,  almost  no  difference  in  the  acreage  of  the 
West  North  (Antral  and  the  Middle  Atlantic  divisions. 
The  leading  states  in  the  acreage  of  rye  are  Michigan, 
Wisconsin,  Pennsylvania,  and  Minnesota,  in  the  order 
named.  Together  these  four  states  reported  in  1909 
nearly  1,300,000  acres,  or  more  than  one-half  of  the 
area  devoted  to  rye  in  the  United  States. 

The  increase  in  the  acreage  of  rye  in  1909  as  com- 
pared with  1899  amounted  to  6.9  per  cent.  Five  divi- 
sions, including  two  with  a considerable  acreage  of 
this  crop — the  Middle  Atlantic  and  the  West  North 
Central — show  decreases,  while  increases  occurred  in 
four  divisions.  The  gain  was  conspicuous  in  the  prin- 
cipal rye  producing  section,  the  East  North  Central, 
where  it  amounted  to  43.2  per  cent.  A much  larger 
percentage  of  increase  is  shown  for  the  Mountain  divi- 
sion, but  the  absolute  gain  in  acreage  was  less  than 
one-tenth  as  large.  Of  the  four  leading  states,  Michigan 
and  Minnesota  more  than  doubled  their  rye  acreage, 
but  Wisconsin  and  Pennsylvania  both  show  a decrease. 

The  production  in  1909,  29,520,000  bushels,  was  15.5 
per  cent  greater  than  in  1899,  indicatmg,  in  connection 
with  the  increase  of  only  6.9  per  cent  in  acreage,  a 
greater  yield  per  acre  for  the  crop  as  a whole  (13.4 
bushels  in  1909  and  12.4  in  1899) . The  divisions  which 
lost  in  acreage  had  also,  with  the  exception  of  the  West 
North  Central  division,  a smaller  production. 

The  value  of  the  rye  crop  in  1909,  $20,422,000,  rep- 
resented 0.4  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops.  It 
was  nearly  two-thirds  greater  than  in  1899.  While  five 
divisions  had  a diminished  acreage  and  four  a decreased 
production,  there  were  only  two  in  which  the  value  of 
the  crop  was  smaller  in  1909  than  in  1899.  The  aver- 
age value  per  bushel  increased  from  48  to  69  cents, 
and  the  average  value  per  acre  from  $5.98  to  $9.30. 

Buckwheat. — Buckwheat  (Table  30)  has  a much 
smaller  area  of  cultivation  than  the  cereals  thus  far 
considered.  There  were  878,000  acres  harvested  in 
the  United  States  in  1909,  of  which  the  region  east  of 
the  Mississippi  contained  96.9  per  cent.  The  Middle 
Atlantic  states  had  about  two-thirds  of  the  total  acre- 
age re])orted  for  buckwheat,  this  being  almost  equally 
divided  between  New  York  and  Pennsylvania.  The 
increase  in  the  area  harvested  in  1909  as  compared 
with  1899  was  over  70,000  acres,  more  than  one-half 
of  which  was  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division.  The 
New  England  and  West  North  Central  divisions  lost 
in  acreage  but  all  others  gained,  the  most  significant 
increase  being  that  in  the  South  Atlantic  division, 
amounting  to  29,322  acres,  or  52.8  per  cent.  Pennsyl- 
vania shows  an  increase  of  17.2  ])er  cent  in  the  acreage 
of  buckwheat  and  New  York  a decrease  of  1.2  per  cent. 


FARM  CROPS,  BY  STATES. 


387 


The  production  of  1909  amounted  to  14,849,000 
bushels,  wliich  was  32.2  per  cent  more  than  that  of  1899. 
The  increase  in  production  was  relatively  greater 
than  that  in  acreage,  and  New  England  was  the  only 
division  reporting  a smaller  ])roduction  in  1909  than 
in  1899.  Measured  by  production.  New  York  a])pears 
as  the  leading  state,  showing  a gain  of  49.2  per  cent 
in  this  respect,  despite  a slight  loss  in  acreage. 

The  crop  of  1909,  valued  at  $9,331,000,  was  nearly 
two- thirds  greater  in  value  than  that  of  1899.  In 
1909  the  average  yield  per  acre  was  16.9  bushels;  the 
average  value  per  bushel,  63  cents;  and  the  average 
value  per  acre,  $10.63. 

Emmer  and  spelt. — Emmer  and  spelt  (Table  31)  are 
old  grains  known  to  the  ancient  world  and  still  in  use 
as  a food  crop  in  parts  of  Europe  and  Asia.  Nearly 
all  the  “emmer  and  spelt”  reported  is  emmer,  spelt 
being  cultivated  in  only  a few  scattered  localities. 
These  grains  are,  botanically,  species  of  wheat,  but 
commercially  they  are  more  closely  related  to  the  other 
cereals,  since  they  are  used  as  food  for  stock.  More- 
over, the  price  per  bushel  of  emmer  and  spelt  cor- 
responds much  more  nearly  to  that  of  com  or  oats 
than  to  that  of  wheat.  No  regular  statistics  of  these 
crops  were  gathered  in  1900. 

Emmer  and  spelt  are  considered  good  crops  for 
dry  farming,  and  like  kafir  corn  have  been  introduced 
principally  in  the  districts  of  comparatively  light 
rainfall,  though  on  account  of  the  heavy  yield  and 
the  value  of  the  grains  as  feed  for  stock,  they  are 
sown  in  parts  of  the  grain  region  in  which  corn  is  not 
an  established  crop. 

The  area  of  emmer  and  spelt  harvested  in  1909 
was  573,622  acres,  the  production  12,703,000  bushels, 
and  the  value  $5,584,000.  The  average  production 
per  acre  was  thus  22.1  bushels;  the  average  value  per 
bushel,  44  cents;  and  the  average  value  per  acre,  $9.73. 

Of  the  total  acreage,  the  West  North  Central  divi- 
sion reported  522,487  acres,  or  91.1  per  cent;  the 
Mountain,  18,644;  the  East  North  Central,  14,941 ; and 
the  West  South  Central,  13,295.  Of  the  total  produc- 
tion in  1909,  11,673,000  bushels,  or  91.9  per  cent, 
were  reported  from  the  West  North  Central  division; 

407.000  bushels  from  the  Mountain  division;  and 

372.000  bushels  from  the  East  North  Central  division. 

The  state  having  the  largest  acreage  in  1909  was 

South  Dakota,  with  259,611  acres,  or  45.3  per  cent  of 
the  total  area  harvested,  while  North  Dakota  came 
next  with  101,144  acres,  or  17.6  per  cent  of  the  total — 
the  combined  acreage  for  the  two  Dakotas  representing 
over  three-fifths  of  the  total  area  in  this  crop.  The 
states  ranking  next  in  acreage  were  Nebraska,  Kansas, 
Minnesota,  and  Colorado. 

Kafir  com  and  milo  maize. — Statistics  for  kafir  corn 
and  milo  maize  (Table  32)  were  first  obtained  by  the 


Census  Burcaii  in  1900.  The  acreage  in  1899  was 
about  one-third  as  great  as  that  of  buckwheat,  but 
in  1909  it  was  almost  twice  as  large.  Kafir  corn 
and  milo  maize  are  cereals  belonging  to  the  millet 
family.  They  arc  grown  extensively  in  Africa  and 
somewhat  in  Asia,  the  grain  being  iised  for  food.  In 
this  country  they  have  made  great  headway  as  dry- 
farming crops  and  are  being  introduced  more  gen- 
erally in  sections  of  light  rainfall.  The  grains  are  here 
used  primarily  for  feeding  live  stock,  although  to  a 
limited  extent  they  are  ground  for  flour.  Aside  from 
the  use  made  of  the  grain,  the  stalks,  if*  cut  before 
they  are  entirely  ripe,  make  a valuable  fodder.  ■] 

Of  the  1,635,153  acres  in  kafir  corn  and  milo  maize 
in  1909,  over  1,000,000  acres  were  in  the  two  states  of 
Texas  and  Oklahoma  and  nearly  400,000  acres  in 
Kansas.  The  only  other  considerable  acreages  were  in 
New  Mexico  and  California. 

The  acreage  harvested  was  more  than  six  times  as 
great  in  1909  as  in  1899.  In  1899  over  one-half  the 
crop  was  harvested  in  the  state  of  Kansas,  but  the 
recent  extension  of  the  cultivation  of  these  cereals  in 
Texas  and  Oklahoma  has  placed  those  states  at  the 
head  of  the  list. 

The  production  increased  from  5,169,000  bushels 
m 1899  to  17,597,000  bushels  in  1909.  The  rate  of 
increase  was  only  half  as  rapid  as  that  in  acreage,  the 
yield  per  acre,  which  was  19.4  bushels  in  1899,  being 
only  10.8  bushels  in  1909.  The  decrease  in  yield  per 
acre  is  due  mainly  to  the  fact  that  the  crops  are  becom- 
ing popular  in  regions  of  comparatively  light  rainfall 
where  the  yield  is  normally  small.  In  1909  the  aver- 
age value  per  bushel  was  61  cents  and  the  average 
value  per  acre  $6.62.  < 

Rice. — The  area  devoted  to  the  cultivation  of  rice 
(Table  33)  in  1909  was  610,175  acres,  located  almost 
exclusively  in  the  West  South  Central  division.  Lou- 
isiana, with  317,518  acres,  and  Texas,  with  237,586 
acres,  far  exceed  any  other  state  or  any  other  division 
in  acreage.  A small  acreage  oiily  is  reported  for  the 
East  South  Central  division,  and  27,080  acres  for  the 
South  Atlantic  division. 

During  the  decade  the  area  devoted  to  rice  cultiva- 
tion increased  267,961  acres,  or  78.3  per  cent.  There 
was  a great  loss  in  acreage  in  the  South  Atlantic 
division,  but  this  was  much  more  than  counter- 
balanced by  the  great  gain  in  the  West  South  Central 
division,  the  principal  rice  producing  area. 

The  production  of  rough  rice  in  1909  was  21,839,000 
bushels,  and  the  value  $16,020,000.  The  increase  in 
both  production  and  value  between  1899  and  1909 
was  more  rapid  than  that  in  acreage,  and  shows  about 
the  same  distribution  as  respects  the  two  producing 
areas,  the  South  Atlantic  and  the  West  South  Central 
divisions.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  C]^:NSUS— AGRICULTURE. 

OTHER  GRAINS  AND  SEEDS. 


According  to  ordinary  usage,  the  term  “grain”  refers 
to  the  several  cereals  only,  but  it  is  sometimes  applied 
to  other  seeds  also,  such  as  beans  and  peas  and  j)ea- 
nuts.  The  more  comprehensive  definition  conforms  to 
tlie  usage  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  which 
has  been  adopted  by  the  Census  Bureau.  Among  the 
other  seeds  are  included  flaxseed,  grass  seed,  flower 
and  vegetable  seeds,  etc.  The  combined  value  of  the 
production  of  the  minor  grains  and  seeds,  of  which 
the  most  important  are  beans,  peas,  peanuts,  flaxseed, 
grass  seed,  and  flower  and  vegetable  seeds,  amounted 
in  1909  to  .197,536,000,  representing  1.8  per  cent  of 
the  total  value  of  all  crops,  including  forest  and  nur- 
sery products.  The  statistics  of  acreage  were  not 
tabulated  for  grass  seeds,  or  flower  and  vegetable 
seeds,  chiefly  for  the  reason  that  in  many  cases  the 
raismg  of  these  seeds  was  incidental  to  the  produc- 
tion of  hay  and  forage  crops  and  of  flowers  and  vege- 
tables, so  that  a presentation  of  the  acreage  would 
involve  duplication.  The  total  acreage  of  the  minor 
grains  and  seeds  for  which  acreage  reports  were  se- 
cured amounted  in  1909  to  5,157,000,  or  1.1  per  cent 
of  the  improved  farm  land  of  the  country. 

Dry  edible  beans. — Table  34  shows  the  statis- 
tics for  dry  edible  beans.  It  does  not  include  beans 
used  green  from  vegetable  gardens  nor  varieties  of 
beans  which  are  used  mainly  for  feeding  animals, 
such  as  horse  beans,  stock  beans,  and  velvet  beans, 
nor  castor  beans  (the  total  acreage  of  which  is  very 
small).  Beans  used  green  from  gardens  are  included 
with  vegetables. 

The  acreage  of  dry  edible  beans  in  1909  was  802,991, 
forming  only  0.2  per  cent  of  the  total  improved  farm 
acreage  of  the  country.  The  acreage  in  1909  was  76.9 
per  cent  greater  than  in  1899,  and  the  production, 
which  amounted  to  11,251,000  bushels  in  1909,  was 
considerably  more  than  twice  as  great.  The  value  of 
the  product  increased  from  .17,634,000  in  1899  to 
.121,771,000  in  1909,  or  185.2  per  cent,  the  average 
value  per  bushel  having  advanced  from  $1.51  to  $1.94. 
The  value  of  the  crop  raised  in  1909  represented  0.4 
per  cent  of  that  of  all  crops.  The  East  North  Central 
division  contained  more  than  half  of  the  total  acreage 
of  dry  edible  beans  in  the  country  in  1909.  Other 
divisions  with  large  acreages  were  the  Pacific  and 
Middle  Atlantic,  but  in  the  latter  the  acreage  was  less 
in  1909  than  in  1899. 

The  total  acreage  of  the  various  other  kinds  of 
beans  (not  re})orted  as  dry  edible  beans  or  as  beans 
used  green  from  gardens)  was  14,947  in  1909,  as  com- 
pared with  25,738  in  1899;  the  production  was 
.179,733  bushels  in  1909  and  143,388  in  1899;  and  the 
value  $241,060  in  1909,  as  compared  with  $134,084 
in  1899.

Dry  peas.  —Table  35  presents  statistics  for  dry  peas; 
it  does  not  cover  green  peas,  which  are  included  under 
“ vegetables.” 

In  1909  the  acreage  of  dry  peas  in  the  United  States 
as  a whole  was  1,305,099,  equivalent  to  0.3  per  cent  of 
the  total  improved  farm  acreage  of.  the  country. 
Although  the  acreage  reported  in  1909  was  34.8  per 
cent  greater  than  in  1899,  the  production  (7,129,000 
bushels)  showed  a decrease  of  24.5  per  cent.  On  ac-

1909,  when  it  constituted  0.2  per  cent  of  the  total

more  apparent  than  real,  ina.smuch  as  peas  are  often 
planted  in  conjunction  with  some  other  crop,  and  it 
seems  certain  that  for  1909  the  enumerators  more  fre- 
quently duplicated  such  acreage  in  their  reports  than 
they  did  for  1899.  The  East  South  Central  and  West 
South  Central  divisions  ranked  third  and  fourth,  respec- 
tively, in  acreage  and  production  in  1909.

The  acreage  of  peanuts  in  1909  was  869,887,  repre- 
senting 0.2  per  cent  of  the  total  improved  farm  acreage 
in  the  country  as  a whole.  In  the  South  the  propor- 
tion of  the  improved  farm  acreage'  that  was  devoted 
to  peanuts  was  0.6  per  cent.  The  total  acreage  of 
peanuts  in  the  United  States  in  1909  was  68.4  per 
cent  greater  than  in  1899,  and  the  production  in  1909, 
19,416,000  bushels,  was  62.3  per  cent  greater  than  10 
years  before. 

The  value  of  the  crop  in  1909,  $18,272,000,  which 
formed  0.3  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  all  crops, 
was  more  than  two  and  one-half  times  as  great  as 
that  in  1899.  The  average  value  per  bushel  increased 
from  $0.61  to  .$0.94.  The  leading  states  in  the  produc- 
tion of  peanuts  are  North  Carolina,  Georgia,  Virginia, 
Florida,  and  Alabama,  in  the  order  named,  the  acre- 
age in  each  of  these  states  in  1909  exceeding  100,000. 
Other  states  in  which  there  has  been  a very  marked 
increase  in  the  acreage  of  peanuts  are  Louisiana, 
Mississippi,  and  Texas. 

Flaxseed. — In  the  United  States  flax  is  raised  pri- 
marily for  the  sake  of  the  seed,  much  less  use  being 
made  of  the  fiber  than  in  some  of  the  other  countries 


The  leading  division  with  respect  to  acreage  of  dry 
peas  is  the  South  Atlantic,  which  in  1909  reported 
more  than  half  of  the  total,  but  the  production  in  this 
division  was  less  in  1909  than  that  in  the  East  North 
Central  division,  which  ranked  second  in  acreage. 
The  marked  increase  reported  in  the  acreage  devoted 
to  this  crop  in  the  South  Atlantic  division  is  probably 


where  this  crop  is  grown.  The  production  of  flaxseed, 
as  shown  by  Table  37,  is  almost  wholl}'"  confined  to  the 
North  Central  and  Mountain  divisions. 

The  total  acreage  in  flax  in  1909  was  2,083,142,  or 
0.4  per  cent  of  the  total  improved  farm  acreage  of  the 
country,  and  the  total  production  was  19,513,000 
bushels.  Both  acreage  and  production  in  1909  were

$19,02r),()0()  in  1899  to  $28,971,000  in  1909,  or  47.0  i)er 
cent,  the  average  value  per  hushel  increasing  from 
$0.98  to  $1.48.  In  1909  the  value  of  this  crop  repre- 
sented 0..5  per  cent  of  the  total  for  all  crops.  The 
values  given  in  the  table  represent  the  seed  only.  The 
Census  Jhireau  did  not  undertake  to  ascertain  the  total 
value  of  llax  straw  i)roduced,  hut  an  inquiry  was  made 
as  to  the  amount  received  from  sales  of  llax  straw  and 
llax  liher,  an  item  which  prohahly  re])resents  approxi- 
mately the  value  of  the  straw  produced,  since  it  is  used 
hut  little  on  the  farm.  The  reported  receipts  from  sales 
of  llax  straw  and  liher  in  1909  amounted  to  $90,832.

The  acreage  of  flax  in  North  Dakota  in  1909  was 
more  than  half  of  the  total  for  the  country.  South 
Dakota  ranked  next  and  Minnesota  third,  while  no 
other  state  had  as  much  as  50,000  acres.  Between 
1899  and  1909  there  was  a marked  falling  off  in  the 
acreage  of  flax  hi  Idaho,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Minnesota,  and 
Missouri,  hut  a marked  hicrease  in  North  Dakota  and 
South  Dakota,  and  in  Montana,  where  the  crop,  which 
was  hisignificant  in  1899,  had  hecome  of  considerable 
importance  m 1909. 

Grass  seed  and  flower  and  vegetable  seeds. — Table 
38  presents  statistics  of  grass  seed  and  flower  and 
vegetable  seeds,  by  states. 

As  already  stated,  the  acreage  from  which  grass  seed 
and  flower  and  vegetable  seeds  were  raised  has  not 
been  tabulated.  In  some  cases  such  acreage  was  not 
reported,  and  in  many  other  cases  it  would  represent 
a duiilication  of  the  acreage  rejiorteil  for  hay  and  for- 
age, flowers  and  plants,  and  vegetables.  The  rejiorted 
production  of  flower  and  vegetable  seeds  doubtless 
represents  chiefly  that  of  farms  jiroducing  such  seeds 
for  sale,  small  quantities  raised  by  farmers  for  their 
own  use  j)rcsumably  being  often,  if  not  generally. 


omitted.  Since  statements  of  quantity  for  all  classes 
of  flower  and  vegetable  seeds  combined  would  obvi- 
ously have  no  significance,  only  the  total  value  of  these 
seeds  is  shown  in  Table  38.  For  the  country  as  a whole 
the  value  in  1909  was  $1,411,000.  The  most  impor- 
tant states  in  the  production  of  such  seeds  in  1909 
were  California,  Illinois,  New  York,  and  Ohio.

Table  39  shows,  by  geographic  divisions,  for  1909 
and  1899,  the  total  (luantity  and  value  of  grass  seed 
produced,  and  also,  for  1909,  the  production  and  value 
of  the  leading  classes.  The  acreage  of  gi’ass  seed  is 
not  shown,  for  the  reason  that  in  most  cases  it  would 
involve  duplication  of  the  acreage  rejiorted  for  the 
grasses  themselves  under  hay  and  forage  crojis. 

The  total  value  of  the  grass  seed  jirodiiced  in  1909 
was  $15,138,000,  which  constitutes  0.3  per  cent  of  the

total  value  of  farm  crops  and  represents  an  increase 
of  84  per  cent  over  the  value  in  1899.  Much  the  larger 
part  of  the  production  of  grass  seed,  considered  as  a 
grouj),  was  reported  from  the  West  and  East  North 
Central  divisions.  As  measured  by  value,  clover  seed

is  the  most  important  kind  of  grass  seed,  followed  by 
timothy  and  alfalfa.  The  lilast  North  Central  division 
leads  in  the  j)roduction  of  clover  seed,  the  West  North

Minor  seeds. — Table  40  shows,  for  1909,  the  acreage, 
quantity,  and  value  of  the  minor  seeds  produced  in 
the  United  States  as  a whole  and  in  the  states  which 
lead  in  the  production  of  each  kind.  Mustard  seed 
is  used  mainly  as  a condiment  and  sunflower  seed 
probably  largely  for  poultry  feed,  but  the  other  classes 
of  seeds  are  for  the  most  part  raised  for  the  purpose  of 
planting. 

It  is  probable  that  the  quantities  reported  do  not 
represent  the  entire  production  of  these  classes  of 
seeds,  as  they  were  not  listed  by  name  in  the  census 
schedule.  The  combined  acreage  of  all  these  classes 
of  seeds  in  1909  was  only  81,308,  and  the  total  value 
S769,000.  Of  the  total  acreage  reported,  72,497  were 
devoted  to  sorghum  cane  seed.  The  quantity  pro- 
duced was  reported  to  be  833,707  bushels,  valued  at 
$544,322.  Kansas,  Nebraska,  Texas,  and  Oklahoma 
lead  in  production. 

It  is  believed  that  in  most  cases  the  acreage  shown 
in  this  table  for  seeds  is  separate  from  and  additional 
to  the  acreage  of  the  corresponding  products,  and 
therefore  does  not  involve  duplication.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


HAY  AND  FOEAGE. 


Tlic  iicrcafTC  devoted  to  hay  and  forage  (Table  42)  in 
1909  was  72,281,000  and  in  1899  was  61,691,000,  repre- 
senting an  increase  of  17.2  ])er  cent.  During  the  same 
period  the  j)roduction  increased  from  79,252,000  tons 
in  1899  to  97,454,000  in  1909,  or  23  per  cent,  while  the 
value  of  the  crop  reported  in  1909  was  $824,000,000, 
or  70.2  per  cent  greater  than  that  reported  in  1899, 
$484,000,000.  In  1909  hay  and  forage  occupied  15.1 
per  cent  of  all  improved  farm  land  and  contributed 
15  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  all  crops.  A map  on 
page  385  shows  the  distribution  of  the  hay  and  forage 
acreage  among  the  states. 

The  hay  and  forage  acreage  in  1909  was  equal  to  37.8 
per  cent  of  that  devoted  to  all  cereals  and  73.5  per  cent 
of  that  occupied  by  corn  alone,  but  was  much  larger 
than  that  of  any  of  the  other  cereals.  It  was  equivalent 
to  15.1  per  cent  of  the  improved  farm  land  of  the 
country,  but  it  may  be  noted  that,  particularly  in  the 
regions  west  of  the  Mississippi  River,  considerable  hay  is 
harvested  on  land  which  has  never  been  under  the  plow 
and  which  is  probably  mostly  reported  as  unimproved 
land.  Of  the  hay  and  forage  acreage  reported  in  1900 
over  one-third  was  in  the  West  North  Central  division. 
This  division  has  an  acreage  nearly  twice  as  great,  as 
the  East  North  Central,  which  ranks  second,  and  over 
three  times  as  great  as  the  Middle  Atlantic,  wliich 
ranks  tliird.  Among  the  states  with  a large  acreage 
Iowa  and  New  York  are  almost  equally  important, 
each  having  in  excess  of  5,000,000  acres.  One  other 
state,  Nebraska,  has  over  4,000,000  acres,  eight  other 
states  over  3,000,000  acres,  four  more  over  2,000,000 
acres,  and  seven  have  between  1 ,000,000  and  2,000,000 
acres.  The  crop  is  thus  more  widely  distributed  than 
any  cereal  crop. 

Table  41  gives  the  share  of  each  geograplxic  division 
and  of  the  more  important  states  in  the  hay  and  for- 
age acreage,  and  the  percentage  which  the  acreage  of 
this  crop  forms  of  the  total  improved  land  in  farms 
in  each  division  and  state,  together  with  the  average 
yield  per  acre  and  the  average  value  per  ton  and  per 
acre. 

Each  of  the  1 1 states  here  listed  had  at  least  4 per 
cent  of  the  total  hay  and  forage  acreage  in  the  United 
States  for  1909,  and  together  they  contained  58.9  per 
cent  of  this  total.  In  only  3 of  these  states,  Illinois, 
Missouri,  and  Kansas,  does  the  proportion  of  improved 
land  in  farms  which  is  devoted  to  hay  and  forage  fall 
below  the  average  for  the  United  States.  In  New  York 
the  acreage  of  hay  and  forage  is  equal  to  about  one- 
third  of  the  improved  land  in  farms,  in  Wisconsin  and 
Pennsylvania  to  practically  one-fourth,  and  in  South 
Dakota  and  Minnesota  to  about  one-fifth. 

During  the  decade  the  New  England  and  Middle 
Atlantic  divisions  lost  slightly  in  acreage,  but  in  the 
other  divisions  the  gains,  both  absolute  and  relative, 
were  for  the  most  part  considerable.  In  the  two 


divisions  wliich  lost  in  acreage  there  was  a decrease 
in  all  the  states  except  Vermont.  In  those  divisions 
which  had  a gi’cater  acreage  in  1909  than  in  1899  the 
only  states  which  did  not  share  in  the  increase  were 
Indiana  and  Kansas.

Tlie  average  yield  of  hay  and  forage  per  acre  in  the 
United  States  in  1909  was  1.35  tons.  Tliis  average 
was  exceeded  considerably  in  the  Mountain  and 
Pacific  divisions,  but  of  the  more  easterly  divisions 
only  the  East  North  Central  showed  a yield  larger 
than  the  average.  The  average  }deld  jier  acre  in  the 
country  as  a whole  was  slightly  greater  in  1909  than 
in  1899.  In  one  division  only,  the  West  South  Cen- 
tral, was  the  yield  appreciably  smaller  in  1909,  though 
in  three,  the  West  North  Central,  East  South  Central, 
and  South  Atlantic,  it  was  the  same  or  practically  the 
same  in  the  two  years.  In  only  two  of  the  states 
named  in  the  table,  Kansas  and  Missouri,  was  the 
yield  jier  acre  smaller  in  1909  than  10  years  earlier. 

As  the  result  of  the  increases  in  acreage  or  in  yield 
per  acre  there  was,  in-  every  division  except  the 
West  South  Central,  an  increase  in  the  total  yield. 
In  that  diUsion  the  falling  off  in  average  yield  more 
than  balanced  the  eirect  of  the  increased  acreage.  In 
the  New  England  and  the  Middle  Atlantic  divisions 
larger  crops  were  harvested  in  1909  than  in  1899,  in 
spite  of  a decrease  in  acreage.  In  the  East  North 
( Vntral,  Mountain,  and  Pacific  divisions  the  percentages 
of  increase  in  production  were  greater  than  those  in 
acreage.  In  the  West  North  Central  division,  where 
the  largest  crop  was  harvested,  and  in  the  East  South 
(kmtral  and  South  Atlantic  divisions  the  relative  gain 
in  production  follows  closely  that  in  acreage.  The 
unfavorable  conditions  in  the  Southwest  are  retlected 
by  a decreased  production  in  Oklahoma  and  Texas, 
where  the  acreage  increased.  In  Kansas  there  was  a 
relative  decrease  in  jiroduction  greater  than  that  in 
acreage.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


A considerable  increase  is  noted  in  the  average  value 
per  ton  in  1909  ($8.40)  as  compared  with  1899  ($5. 70), 
and  this  combined  with  a larger  yield  per  acre  resulted 
in  an  even  greater  advance  in  the  value  of  the  crop  ])er 
acre.  As  a result  of  this  fact,  together  with  the  large 
increase  in  acreage,  the  total  value  of  the  hay  and 


forage  croj)  in  1909  was  greatly  in  excess  of  that  in 
1899,  representing  an  increase  of  $339,750,000,  or  70.2 
l)er  cent. 

Tlie  component  elements  of  the  hay  and  forage  crop 
and  their  distribution  among  the  several  geographic 
divisions  are  exhibited  in  Table  43.  '

The  most  prominent  classes  included  in  the  table 
are,  in  the  order  of  importance  as  measured  by  acreage, 
timothy  and  clover  mixed,  “wild,  salt,  or  prairie 
grasses,”  “timothy  alone,”  alfalfa,  grains  cut  green, 
“other  tame  or  cultivated  grasses,”  and  coarse  forage. 

The  table  brings  out  clearly  the  predominance  of 
the  North  in  the  growing  of  hay  and  forage,  the 
area  devoted  to  these  crops  being  over  six  times  as 
great  in  the  North  as  in  the  South.  In  the  West,  also, 
a somewhat  larger  area  is  devoted  to  these  crops 
than  in  the  South.  The  predommance  of  the  North 
is  evident  in  the  case  of  each  of  the  individual  crops 
except  alfalfa,  grains  cut  green,  and  root  forage,  which 
are  more  extensively  grown  in  the  West  than  else- 
where; these  crops,  together  with  “wild,  salt,  or 
prairie  grasses,”  are  the  only  hay  and  forage  crops 
that  cover  a greater  acreage  in  the  West  than  in 
the  South.  In  the  West  South  Central  division  there 
is  a considerable  acreage  of  “wild,  salt,  or  prairie 


Potatoes  (Table  46). — Potatoes  were  harvested  in 
1909  from  3,669,000  acres,  as  compared  with  2,939,000 
acres  in  1899,  an  increase  of  24.8  per  cent.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  production  of  potatoes  increased  42.4 
per  cent,  being  in  1909,  389,000,000  bushels,  and  in 
1899,  273,000,000  bushels,  while  the  value  of  the  crop 
increased  in  still  greater  degree,  from  .$98,000,000  in 
1899  to  $166,000,000  in  1909,  or  69.2  per  cent.  The 
crop  occupied  0.8  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  of  im- 
proved farm  land  in  1909,  and  represented  3 per  cent 
of  the  value  of  ail  crops.  There  is  a considerable 
acreage  of  potatoes  in  each  of  the  geographic  divi- 
sions, but  more  than  three-fourths  of  the  entire  acre- 
age is  in  the  four  northern  divisions.  Among  the 
states.  New  York  has  the  largest  acreage,  closely  fol- 
lowed by  Michigan. 


grasses”  and  about  the  same  acreage  of  coarse  forage, 
which,  however,  forms  a much  larger  proportion  of  the 
total,  causing  the  division  to  rank  second  in  the 
acreage  of  the  latter  crop. 

More  than  half  of  the  entire  acreage  in  hay  and 
forage  is  west  of  the  Mississippi  River,  but  the  indi- 
vidual crops  are  quite  differently  tlistributed.  East 
of  the  Mississippi  is  found  by  far  the  greater  part  of 
the  acreage  devoted  to  timothy  alone,  clover  alone, 
timothy  and  clover  mixed,  and  “other  tame  or  cul- 
tivated grasses.”  These  classes  cover  an  aggregate 
of  40,891,000  acres,  of  which  28,429,000  are  east  of 
the  Mississippi  River. 

Of  the  other  hay  and  forage  crops  included  in  this 
table,  the  greater  part  of  the  acreage  is  west  of  the 
Mississippi  River.  This  excess  is  considerable  in  the 
case  of  the  important  group  of  “wild,  salt,  or  j)rairie 
grasses”  and  of  alfalfa,  but  is  not  so  marked  for  the 
other  hay  and  forage  crops. 


The  increase  in  the  acreage  of  potatoes  between 
1899  and  1909  for  the  United  States  as  a whole  was 
730,000  acres,  or  24.8  per  cent,  in  which  increase  all 
divisions  shared  to  some  extent.  Both  in  the  East 
North  Central  and  in  the  West  North  Central  divisions 
there  were  nearly  150,000  acres  added  to  the  area  har- 
vested. Conspicuous  gains  in  aggregate  acreage  are 
also  noted  in  the  Mountain,  South  Atlantic,  and  Racilic 
divisions.  The  percentage  of  increase  in  potato  acreage 
is  greatest  in  the  Mountain  division,  where  the  acreage 
more  than  doubled.  The  four  divisions  constituting 
the  North  increased  their  potato  acreage  less  rapidly 
than  the  rest  of  the  country.  'Phe  New  England 
division  is  the  only  one  in  this  section  in  which  the 
rate  of  increase  for  the  decade  was  greater  than  <he 
average  for  the  United  States  as  a whole.

Potatoes  are  grown  on  less  than  1 per  cent  of  the 
improved  farm  land  of  the  country,  but  in  the  New 
England  division  the  proportion  exceeds  3 per  cent 
and  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  division  it  exceeds  2 per 
cent.  Among  the  leading  states  Maine  shows  much  the 
highest  proportion  of  improved  farm  land  devoted  to 
potatoes,  5.8  per  cent.  Aroostook  County,  Me.,  far 
exceeds  any  other  county  in  the  United  States  in  the 
production  of  potatoes.  * 

The  yield  per  acre  in  1909  for  the  United  States, 
106.1  bushels,  was  greatly  exceeded  in  the  New  Eng- 
land division.  High  yields  were  also  reported  in  the 
Mountain  and  Pacific  divisions,  while  the  Middle 
Atlantic  and  East  North  Central  divisions  conformed 
more  closely  to  the  average.  Among  the  cliief  produc- 
ing states,  Maine  shows  an  extraordinary  yield  per 
acre,  but  the  other  states  do  not  depart  so  widely  from 
the  general  average.  The  yield  per  acre  w^as  greater 
in  1909  than  in  1899  in  the  United  States  as  a whole 
and  in  aU  divisions  except  the  West  North  Central 
and  West  South  Central. 

The  value  per  bushel  was  higher  in  1909  than  in 
1899  in  the  country  as  a whole  and  in  all  but  two  of  the 
(hvisions,  but  the  increase  was  much  less  marked  than 
in  the  case  of  the  cereal  crops.  The  average  value  of 
the  crop  per  acre,  by  reason  of  the  increased  average 
yield,  increased  to  a somewhat  greater  degree  than  the 
average  value  per  bushel. 

Sweet  potatoes  and  yams  (Table  47). — The  acreage 
of  this  crop  in  1909,  641,000,  was  greater  by  nearly 
one-fifth  than  that  of  1899,  537,000.  The  absolute 
increase  was  not  widely  different  in  the  three  southern 
divisions,  though  it  was  smallest  in  the  South  Atlantic 
and  greatest  in  the  West  South  Central.  There  was 
a wider  difference  in  the  percentage  of  increase,  which 
was  over  three  times  as  great  in  the  West  South  Cen- 
tral division  as  in  the  South  Atlantic.  The  greatest 
absolute  gain  in  acreage  in  any  state  was  in  Louisiana. 


BY  STATES. 

The  production  in  1909  was  59,232,000  bushels  and 
in  1899,42,517,000  bushels,  the  increase  for  the  decade 
being  39.3  per  cent,  a relative  gain  twice  as  gr(!at  as 
that  in  acreage.  The  greatest  absolute  gain  was  in  the 
South  Atlantic  division,  but  the  percentage  of  gain  was 
less  than  that  in  either  of  the  other  southern  divisions, 
though  not  so  much  smaller  as  in  the  case  of  acreage. 

In  the  value  of  the  yield  there  was  a great  increase, 
the  aggregate  crop  of  1909  being  valued  at  $35,429,000 
(equal  to  0.6  per  cent  of  the  value  of  all  crops),  or 
78.3  per  cent  more  than  that  of  1899.  In  the  East 
South  Central  division  the  value  was  more  than  twice 
as  great,  and  in  the  West  South  Central  division  nearly 
twice  as  great,  as  in  1899.  In  the  South  Atlantic  divi- 
sion the  aggregate  value  of  the  crop  was  three-fourths 
greater  than  in  1899. 

Including  insignificant  areas  in  the  New  England 
and  Mountain  divisions,  sweet  potatoes  and  yams,  as 
shown  by  Table  47,  are  represented  in  aU  divisions, 
though  the  three  southern  chvisions,  led  by  the  South 
Atlantic,  contained  in  1909  over  90  per  cent  of  the 
entire  acreage  of  this  crop.  In  these  divisions  North 
Carolina  and  Georgia  had  each  somewhat  over  84,000 
acres  in  sweet  potatoes  and  yams,  while  Alabama,  Mis- 
sissippi, and  Louisiana  likeAvise  had  acreages  in  excess 
of  50,000.  Table  45  gives  figures  derived  mainly  from 
Table  47.

It  will  be  noted  that  the  South  Atlantic  division 
is  the  only  geographic  division  in  which  these  crops  are 
grown  on  as  much  as  one-half  of  1 per  cent  of  the 
improved  farm  land.  An  average  yield  of  92.4  bushels 
per  acre  was  reported  for  the  country  as  a whole  in 
1909.  This  was  exceeded  in  the  leading  division,  the 
South  Atlantic,  but  was  not  attained  in  either  of  the 
other  southern  divisions,  where  the  acreage  was  con- 
siderable. In  both  the  South  Atlantic  and  the  East 
South  Central  divisions  the  yield  per  acre  was  greater  in 
1909  than  in  1899.  Better  prices  were  obtained  in  1909 
than  in  1899,  and  this,  combined  with  larger  aver- 
age yields,  brought  about  a considerably  higher 
value  per  acre  for  the  crop,  which  was  common  to 
all  divisions.

Other  vegetables  (Table  48). — Except  for  potatoes 
and  sweet  potatoes  and  yams,  which  arc  generally 
grown  in  considerable  quantities,  it  is  practically 
impossible  to  obtain  a correct  total  of  the  acreage, 
production,  or  value  of  individual  kinds  of  vegetables. 
Enumerators  were  instructed  to  obtain  from  every 
farm  a separate  report  for  any  vegetable  grown  for 
sale  in  considerable  quantities,  and  in  all  cases  to 
ascertam  the  total  acreage  in  vegetables  of  all  classes 
combined,  whether  grown  for  farm  use  or  for  sale, 
and  the  total  value  of  the  product.  It  is  scarcely 
likely,  however,  that  the  total  acreage  and  value 
reported  are  as  accurate  in  the  case  of  vegetables  as 
in  the  case  of  the  major  crops,  since  on  many  farms 
the  production  of  vegetables  is  practically  confined 
72497°— 13 26 


to  small  kitchen  gardens.  In  fact,  707,763  farms 
reported  farm  gardens  in  which  vegetables  other  than 
potatoes  were  grown  for  farm  use,  but  failed  to  give 
any  acreage  or  value.  In  all  probability,  therefore, 
the  totals  obtained  from  the  returns  are  understate- 
ments. 

In  tabulating  the  statistics  the  Census  Bureau  has 
distinguished  between  farms  which  reported  the  pro- 
duction in  1909  of  vegetables  (other  than  potatoes 
and  sweet  potatoes  and  yams)  valued  at  $500  or 
more  and  those  on  which  the  product  was  valued  at 
less  than  that  amount.  Farms  of  the  former  group 
usually  produce  vegetables  chiefly  for  sale,  while  on 
a large  proportion  of  the  other  farms  they  are  raised 
primarily,  if  not  exclusively,  for  home  consumption.

ABSTIIACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


Tlic  acroafi;e  of  vegetables  covered  by  tbe  table  was 
2,7()3,2f)9  in  1 909,  wliicli  was  eriiial  to  0.0  j)er  cent  of  the 
total  improved  farm  acreage  of  the  country,  and  was 
27.8  per  cent  gi’cater  than  the  acreage  reported  1899. 
The  value  of  tbe  vegetables  reported  increased  from 
$120,282,000  in  1899  to  $210,257,000  in  1909,  or  79.8 
per  cent,  and  in  1909  constituted  3.9  per  cent  of  the 
total  value  of  farm  crops. 

The  acreage  of  vegetables  on  farms  which  produced 
at  least  $500  worth  of  vegetables  amounted  in  1909  to 


566,517,  or  a little  over  one-fifth  of  the  total  aereage  in 
vegetables,  but  the  value  of  the  vegetables  gi’own  on 
such  farms,  $60,105,000,  represented  27.8  per  cent  of 
the  total  value  reported. 

As  judged  by  the  acreage  and  by  the  value  of  the 
product,  the  South  Atlantic  was  the  most  important 
division  in  the  production  of  miscellaneous  vegetables, 
the  East  North  Central  rankmg  second.  The  produc- 
tion of  vegetables  is,  however,  widely  distributed  over 
the  entire  country.

TOBACCO. 


Detailed  statistics  concerning  the  tobacco  crop  of 
1909,  with  comparative  figures  for  1899,  are  given  in 
Table  50.  Table  49  gives  percentages  and  averages 
for  the  important  producing  divisions  and  states,  based 
mainly  on  Table  50. 

The  tobacco  crop  is  more  localized  than  most  other 
staple  crops.  In  the  aggregate,  1,294,911  acres  were  in 
tobacco  in  1909,  representing  0.3  per  cent  of  the 
improved  farm  acreage  of  the  country.  In  the  distri- 
bution of  this  acreage,  the  East  South  Central  division, 
containing  43.3  per  cent  of  the  total,  led  all  others. 
This  figure  was  closely  apfiroximated,  however,  by  the 
South  Atlantic  division,  which  contained  37.6  ])cr  cent 
of  the  total  acreage.  The  combined  acreage  in  the 
East  North  Central  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions  was 
only  about  half  as  great  as  that  in.  the  South  Atlantic 
division  alone.  The  acreage  of  tobacco  in  N ew  England 


was  small  and  that  in  the  region  west  of  the  Mississippi 
was  quite  insignificant.  The  state  of  Kentucky  had 
the  greatest  area  m tobacco — 469,795  acres.  North 
Carolina  was  next  in  order,  but  had  an  aereage  less 
than  half  that  of  Kentucky.  The  only  other  states 
having  an  acreage  in  exeess  of  100,000  were  Virginia 
and  Ohio.  These  four  states  had  three-fourths  of  the 
entire  acreage  devoted  to  this  crop. 

The  jiroportion  of  the  improved  farm  land  in  to- 
bacco was  larger  in  the  East  South  Central  divi- 
sion (1.3  jier  cent)  than  in  any  other,  though  in  the 
South  Atlantic  division  it  was  only  slightly  less  (1  ])er 
cent).  Tlie  leading  states  exceeded  this  proportion 
considerably. 

In  1909,  as  compared  with  1899,  there  was  an  in- 
crease in  tlie  area  in  tobacco  of  193,451  acres,  or  17.6 
per  cent.  In  the  division  having  the  largest  acreage. 


FARM  CROPS,  BY  STATES 


403 


tho  East  South  Central,  the  gain  was  over  100, 000 
acres,  or  22.4  per  cent.  An  absolute  gain  about  half 
as  great  occurred  in  tho  East  North  Central  division, 
whore  tho  relative  increase  was  nearly  50  per  cent.  It 
is  noticeable  that  in  the  South  Atlantic  division  the 
increase  was  much  less,  amounting  to  only  4.6  per  cent. 
Next  to  Kentucky,  where  the  acreage  in  1909  was 
84,990  more  than  in  1899,  the  greatest  gain  was  in  Ohio.

1 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 

2 Not  calculated  because  of  unimportance  of  crop. 


The  production  in  1909  was  1,056,000,000  pounds 
and  was  greater  by  21.6  percent  than  that  in  1899, 
868,000,000  pounds.  Tho  greatest  absolute  increase 
was  in  tho  East  South  Central  division,  but  larger  per- 
centages of  increase  are  noted  in  the  case  of  tho  West 
North  Central  and  New  England  divisions. 

The  average  yield  per  acre  in  1909  was  815  jiounds. 
In  New  England  it  was  more  than  double  this  amount, 
and  in  the  Mitldle  Atlantic  and  East  North  Central  divi- 
sions it  was  considerably  higher  than  the  average.  In 
these  divisions  tobacco  is  grown  in  limited  areas  pecu- 
liarly adapted  to  its  cultivation.  As  compared  with 
1899,  the  United  States  as  a whole  and  each  of  the  divi- 
sions except  the  Middle  Atlantic  and  East  North  Central 
show  a larger  yield  per  acre  in  1909,  indicating  a greater 
relative  increase  in  the  production  than  in  the  acreage. 

The  average  value  per  pound  was  greater  in  1909 
than  in  1899,  and  tliis,  combined  with  an  increased 
yield  per  acre,  brought  about  a very  marked  increase 
in  the  value  per  acre.  The  total  value  of  the  crop  wfis 
much  greater  in  1909  ($104,303,000)  than  in  1899 
($56,988,000).  The  value  of  tobacco  constituted  1.9 
per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops  in  1909.

ABSTRACT  OF  THl^]  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 

COTTON  AND  COTTON  SEED. 


Cotton  (Table  52). — Of  the  32,04.3,838  acres  of  cot- 
ton harvested  in  1909,  the  West  South  Central  divi- 
sion contained  nearly  half,  the  South  Atlantic  division 
28.1  per  cent,  and  the  East  South  Central  division 
24.7  per  cent.  Though  cotton  is  reported  from  three 
other  divisions,  the  acreages  are  comparatively  insig- 
nificant. There  are,  however,  three  counties  in  south- 
eastern Missouri  in  which  the  cotton  acreage  is 
considerable.  Texas,  with  nearly  10,000,000  acres, 
has  considerably  over  one-fourth  of  the  total  area 
in  this  crop,  and  Georgia  has  about  half  the  acre- 
age of  Texas,  while  Alabama  and  Mississippi,  which 
follow  in  the  order  named,  have  each  more  than 
3,000,000  acres  in  cotton.  The  four  states  named 
report  about  70  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage. 
The  accompanying  map  shows  graphically  the 
distribution  of  the  cotton  acreage  among  the 
states. 

The  prominence  of  cotton  in  the  agriculture  of  the 
South  is  indicated  by  the  large  percentages  of  the 
total  improved  land  occupied  by  this  crop  in  the 
southern  divisions,  as  shown  by  Table  51.  In  the 
South  as  a whole  cotton  occupied  21.2  per  cent  of 
the  improved  farm  land.  In  each  of  the  four  states 
shown  in  Table  51  the  cotton  acreage  exceeds  one- 
third  of  all  the  improved  land  in  farms. 


The  area  in  cotton  increased  from  1899  to  1909  by 
7,768,737  acres,  or  32  per  cent.  Of  this  gain  more 
than  half  was  reported  from  the  West  South  Central 
division,  there  being  a gain  of  nearly  3,000,000  acres 
in  the  state  of  Texas  and  of  over  1,000,000  acres  in 
the  state  of  Oklahoma.  A gain  of  over  1,000,000 
acres  was  reported  in  Georgia.  The  percentage  of 
increase  in  the  West  South  Central  division  exceeded 
that  for  the  United  States  as  a whole,  and  that  in 
the  South  Atlantic  division  almost  equaled  it,  but 
the  rate  of  gain  in  the  East  South  Central  division  was 
considerably  less.

FARM  CROPS,  BY  STATES. 


Tlie  total  production  of  cotton  in  1 900  was  1 0,649,000 
bales,  an  increase  of  1,115,000  bales, or  11.7  per  cent, 
over  that  of  1899.  The  yield  of  cotton  was  0.33  bale 
per  acre  in  1909,  as  against  0.39  bale  per  acre  in  1899. 
In  each  of  the  southern  divisions,  except  the  South 
Atlantic,  there  was  a smaller  average  yield  in  1909  than 
10  years  earlier.  As  a result  the  relative  gain  in  pro- 
duction for  the  country  is  less  than  the  relative  gain  in 
acreage.  Two  divisions,  the  East  and  West  South 
Central,  reported  a smaller  crop  than  10  years  pre- 
viously. On  the  other  hand,  m the  South  Atlantic 
division  the  crop  increased  nearly  one-half. 


405 

The  average  value  of  cotton  per  bale,  which  was 
S33.96  in  1899,  was  $66.07  in  1909,  an  advance  of  nearly 
95  per  cent.  Hence,  with  an  increased  production, 
the  total  value  of  the  cotton  crop  in  1909,  $703,619,000, 
was  larger  than  that  of  1899  by  $379,861,000,  or  117.3 
per  cent.  The  increase  in  the  value  of  the  crop  was 
sufficient  to  offset  losses  in  acreage  and  yield,  except 
in  Louisiana. 

The  value  of  the  cotton  crop  of  1909  was  12.8  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops  for  the  country  as  a 
whole;  for  the  South  alone  cotton  represents  36.6  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops. 


COTTON. 


Cotton  seed  (Table  53) . — The  agricultural  schedules 
of  1910  and  1900  did  not  call  for  the  quantity  of  cot- 
ton seed  produced  or  its  value,  but  the  schedule  of  1910 
called  for  the  quantity  and  value  of  the  cotton  seed 
sold  during  1909.  It  was  believed  that,  for  various 
reasons,  it  would  be  impossible  for  many  farmers 
to  report  accurately  the  total  quantity  of  cotton  seed 
produced.  Inasmuch,  however,  as  the  sales  of 
cotton  seed  are  much  less  than  the  total  produc- 
tion, it  seemed  desirable  to  make  a rough  estimate  of 
the  total  quantity  and  value  of  cotton  seed  produced. 
It  has  been  the  usual  custom  among  fanners  and  in 
the  cotton  trade  to  assume  that  (in  the  case  of  upland 
cotton,  which  constitutes  the  great  bulk  of  the  crop) 
about  one-third  of  the  weight  of  the  seed  cotton  is 
lint  and  two-thirds  seed.  Although  dui'ing  recent 
years  the  ratios  have  probably  been  nearer  35  per 
cent  lint  and  65  per  cent  seed,  the  bureau  has  made 
its  estimates  of  the  production  of  cotton  seed  on  the 


more  customary  basis.  It  has  further  assumed  for 
convenience  that  a bale  of  cotton  as  reported  by  the 
farmer  contains  500  pounds  of  lint  cotton,  which  is 
probably  a slight  exaggeration,  inasmuch  as  no  allow- 
ance is  made  for  bagging  and  ties.  The  production  of 
cotton  seed  by  counties  and  states,  and  for  the  South 
as  a whole  has,  in  other  words,  been  estimated  by  the 
simple  method  of  allowing  1,000  pounds  of  seed  for 
each  bale  of  cotton.  Aside  from  a considerable 
margin  of  error  in  the  total  quantity  thus  estimated 
for  the  South  as  a whole,  there  is  doubtless  some  addi- 
tional error  in  individual  counties.  The  value  of  cotton 
seed  has  been  estimated  for  1899  l)y  multiplying  the 
estimated  total  quantity  produced  by  the  average 
price  reported  by  the  cottonseed-oil  mills  as  paid  for 
the  seed  purchased  during  that  year;  and  for  1909 
by  multiplying  the  estimated  quantity  produced  by 
the  average  value  per  ton  reported  by  farmers  for  the 
seed  sold  by  them.  It  is  assumed  that  the  average 
value  of  the  entire  crop  is  the  same  as  the  average

value  of  fliat  ])urt  sold.  Table  53  shows  the  esti- 
mated (|uaiitity  and  value  of  cotton  seed  ])roduced  for 
1909  and  1899  for  the  country  as  a whole  and  hy 
geograj)hic  divisions. 

The  estimated  (juantity  of  cotton  seed  produced  in 
1899  was  4, 707, ()()()  tons,  and  in  1909,  5,325,000  tons. 

The  estimated  value  of  the  cotton  seed  in  1899  was 
.1540,951,000,  and  in  1909,  .15121,077,000,  an  increase 
of  157.9  per  cent,  as  compared  with  an  increase  of 
1 17.3  per  cent  in  the  value  of  lint  cotton  produced. 

The  total  (piantity  of  cotton  seed  reported  hy  farmers 
as  sold  during  1909  was  2,075,000  tons,  and  its  value 
S47,350,000. 

SUGAE 

Sugar  and  related  products  are  obtained  in  the 
United  States  from  three  widely  different  classes  of 
plants — cane  (sugar  cane  and  sorghum  cane),  beets, 
and  maple  trees.  Ordmary  sugar  is  derived  from 
sugar  cane  and  sugar  beets.  Beet  sugar  is  made  alto- 
gether m large  factories,  which  are  covered  by  the 
manufactures  census,  and  this  report  relates  only  to 
the  production  of  the  beets.  Most  of  the  sugar  cane 
also  is  crushed  hi  mills  covered  by  the  manufactures 
census.  Some,  however,  is  crushed  in  mhls  on  farms 
and  plantations,  the  operations  of  which  can  not  be 
separated  from  the  agricultural  operations,  so  that 
the  products  are  included  in  the  present  report;  these 
mhls,  however,  make  practically  no  sugar,  their  chief 
product  being  sirup.  A part  of  the  sorghum  cane 
produced  is  used  for  fodder,  but  there  are  numerous 
small  mills  which  crush  it  for  the  pui’pose  of  producing 
sirup.  Almost  all  of  these  mhls  are  on  farms,  and 
the  quantity  as  well  as  the  value  of  their  product  m 
that  case  is  covered  by  the  census  of  agriculture. 
Maple  sirup  and  maple  sugar  are  almost  wholly  made 
on  farms. 

Sugar  cane  (Table  54). — The  acreage  in  sugar  cane 
in  1909  was  476,849,  an  increase  of  23.2  per  cent  as 
compared  with  1899.  The  production  m 1909  was 
6,240,000  tons,  representmg  an  increase  of  48.5  per 
cent.  The  value  of  the  sugar  cane  in  1909,  includmg 
that  of  the  sugar,  sirup,  and  molasses  reported  on  the 
agricultural  schedules,  was  $26,416,000,  and  consti- 
tuted 0.5  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  farm  crops  for 
the  country.  The  value  of  sugar  cane  produced  in 
the  South  represented  1.4  per  cent  of  the  value  of  all 
crops  of  that  section.  More  than  two-thirds  of  the 
total  acreage  of  sugar  cane  in  1909  was  in  Louisiana, 
and  most  of  the  remainder  m Georgia,  Texas,  Alabama, 
and  Mississippi. 

Satisfactoiy  comparison  can  not  be  made  between 
the  total  value  of  the  product  as  reported  for  1909 
and  that  for  1899,  for  the  reason  that  m 1899  reports 
of  many  large  mills  on  ])lantations  were  included  in 
the  agricultural  census,  while  most  such  mills  in  1909 
were  covered  by  the  manufactures  census.  A much 
larger  })roportion  of  the  value  given  for  the  earlier 
year  therefore  consists  of  the  value  of  the  manu- 
factured product — sugar  and  molasses.

I The  values  given  include  the  value  of  sugar,  sirup,  and  molasses,  so  far  as 
covered  by  the  agricultural  census.  See  text  as  to  incomparability  of  the  two 
censuses. 


Of  the  6,240,000  tons  of  sugar  cane  produced  in  1909, 
4,639,000  tons  were  sold,^  the  amount  received  there- 
from bemg  $16,766,000;  in  1899,  out  of  4,202,000  tons 
produced,  only  1,126,000  tons,  valued  at  $3,882,000, 
were  sold.  The  average  value  per  ton  for  the  cane  sold 
was  $3.61  in  1909  and  $3.45  in  1899,  and  assuming  the 
same  value  per  ton  for  the  rest  of  the  cane,  the  total 
value  of  cane  produced  in  1909  would  be  $22,527,000 
and  the  value  of  that  produced  in  1899  would  be 
$14,498,000.  These  figures  represent  an  increase  of 
55.4  per  cent  in  the  total  value  of  the  cro]). 

In  1909  the  plantation  mills  covered  by  the  agricul- 
tural census  made  21,633,579  gallons  of  sinjp,  125,647 
pounds  of  sugar,  and  4,153  gallons  of  molasses.  The 
total  value  of  these  products  was  reported  as  $9,650,000. 

No  satisfactory  comparison  can  be  made  between 
1909  and  1899  as  to  the  amount  of  sirup,  sugar,  and 
molasses  made  on  plantations,  for  the  reason  already 
stated. 

The  total  production  of  cane  sugar  in  factories  cov- 
ered by  the  manufactures  census  in  1909  was  326,858 
tons;  of  molasses,  24,588,000^  gallons;  and  of  sirup, 
1,450,000 2 gallons;  these  figures  all  being  additional  to 
those  derived  from  the  agricultural  census.

manufacture  of  products  other  than  those  covered  by  the  industry 
designated.  The  output  of  these  establishinonts  wivs  7,281  tons  of

FARM  CROPS,  BY  STATES. 


Sorghum  cane  (Table  55). — The  acreage  of  sor- 
ghum cauc  in  1909  was  444,089,  or  51.5  per  cent  more 
tlian  in  1899.  And  although  the  production  was  13.8 
per  cent  less  than  in  the  earlier  year,  probably  on  ac- 
count of  unfavorable  weather  conditions  in  1909,  the 
value  of  the  crop,  amounting  in  1909  to  -110,174,000, 
or  0.2  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  all  farm  cro{)s, 
showed  a great  increase.  The  value  as  stated  includes 
that  of  the  siru])  made  on  farms.  The  amount  of  such 
siiTjp  was  10,532,000  gallons,  valued  at  $7,963,000, 
and  the  value  of  the  cane  sold  or  used  as  forage  was 
$2,211,000. 

The  amount  of  sirup  made  in  1899  was  16,973,000 
gallons  and  its  value,  -15,288,000.  The  crop  is  quite 
widely  distributed  tlirough  the  country,  but  is  much 
more  important  in  the  South  than  in  the  North  or  the 
West.  The  leading  states  in  acreage  in  1909  were 
Kentucky,  Texas,  Tennessee,  Missouri,  and  Arkansas.

Sugar  beets. — As  shown  in  Table  56,  the  acreage  of 
sugar  beets  in  the  United  States  in  1909,  364,093,  was 
more  than  three  times  as  great  as  in  1899;  the  jiroduc- 
tion,  3,933,000  tons,  was  nearly  five  times  as  great; 
and  the  value,  $19,881,000,  was  almost  six  times  as 
great.  The  average  value  per  ton  in  1909  was  $5.06 
and  in  1899,  $4.19.  The  crop  in  1909  occupied  0.1 
per  cent  of  the  improved  farm  acreage  of  the  country, 
and  its  value  constituted  0.4  per  cent  of  the  value  of 
all  crops. 

Although  sugar  beets  intended  for  sugar  manufac- 
ture are  now  raised  in  a considerable  number  of  states, 
much  the  greater  part  of  the  production  is  in  Colorado, 
California,  Michigan,  Utah,  Idaho,  and  Wisconsin. 


The  development  in  Colorado  during  the  past  decade 
has  been  particularly  striking. 

In  addition  to  the  sugar  beets  covered  by  this  table, 
which  has  been  confined  as  far  as  practicable  to  those 
raised  for  the  [lurpose  of  making  sugar,  small  quanti- 
ties are  raised  in  many  states  for  forage.

Maple  sugar  and  sirup  (Table  57). — The  total  num- 
ber of  maple  trees  reported  b}^  the  farmers  as  tapped  in 
1909  was  18,899,533;  they  produced  14,060,000  pounds 
of  sugar  and  4,106,000  gallons  of  sirup,  the  combined 
value  of  which  was  $5,178,000. 

The  quantity  of  maple  sugar  made  on  farms  was  17.9 
per  cent  greater  than  in  1899,  while  the  quantity  of 
sirup  was  almost  twdee  as  great,  and  the  combined  value 
of  the  sugar  and  sirup  nearly  twice  as  great  as  in  1899. 
Ohio  is  the  leading  state  in  the  production  of  sirup, 
followed  by  New  York  and  Vermont;  but  Vermont  far 
outranks  all  other  states  in  the  production  of  maple 
sugar.  New  York  and  Pennsylvania  ranking  second  and 
third,  respectively.  In  the  combined  value  of  the  two 
products.  New  York  ranks  first.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 

SUNDRY  MINOR  CROPS. 


Under  tliis  heading  are  included  a variety  of  croi)s 
of  comparatively  small  importance  which  can  not  be 
logically  classified  under  any  of  the  other  designations. 
The  individual  crops  are  in  no  way  closely  related  to 
one  another  in  use,  method  of  production,  or  geo- 
graphic distribution. 

Table  58  gives  statistics  of  those  minor  crops  for 
which  the  acreage  was  reported,  for  the  leading  states.

< Reported  in  small  fractions. 

Broom  corn. — The  total  acreage  of  broom  corn  in 
1909  was  .326,102,  an  increase  of  82.6  per  cent  over 
that  in  1899.  The  production,  however,  was  con- 
siderably less  in  the  later  year  than  in  the  earlier, 
although  the  value  increased  by  43.1  per  cent,  amount- 
ing in  1909  to  85,134,000.  About  two-tbirds  of  the 
total  acreage  in  1909  was  in  Oklahoma,  and  most  of 


the  remainder  in  Kansas  and  Illinois.  The  acreage 
in  Illinois  was  much  less  in  1909  than  in  1899. 

Hemp. — The  production  of  hemp  is  mainly  con- 
fined to  Kentucky,  which  in  1909  reported  6,855  out 
of  the  total  of  7,647  acres.  The  acreage  was  less 
than  half  as  great  in  1909  as  in  1899,  but  the  produc- 
tion feU  off  only  36.3  per  cent  and  the  value  oidy  24.5 
per  cent.  The  value  of  the  crop  in  1909  was  $413,000. 

Hops. — The  acreage  of  hops  in  the  United  States 
was  44,693  in  1909,  or  about  one-fifth  less  than  in 
1899.  The  production  fell  off  in  approximately  the 
same  ratio,  but  the  value  increased  92.2  per  cent, 
amounting  in  1909  to  $7,845,000.  Oregon  is  the 
leading  hop  growing  state,  with  nearly  half  the  total 
acreage  in  1909;  New  York,  California,  and  Wash- 
ington are  the  only  other  states  of  importance. 

Other  crops. — In  the  case  of  none  of  the  other  crops 
covered  by  the  table  did  the  acreage  in  1909  amount 
to  10,000,  and  only  for  mint  did  the  value  exceed  a 
quarter  of  a million  dollars.  With  the  exception  of 
ginseng,  the  crops  listed  are  virtually  confined  to  one 
or  two  states. 

By-products  (Table  59) . — Flax  fiber,  cornstalks,  and 
straw,  which  are  obtained  as  by-products  incidental  to 
the  raising  of  flaxseed  and  the  various  cereal  crops, 
have  a considerable  value  for  feeding  or  other  pur- 
poses. They  are  for  the  most  part  consumed  on  the 
farms  producing  them,  however,  and  their  value  is  not 
included  with  the  value  of  the  main  crops  from  which 
they  are  derived. 

The  Census  Bureau  did  not  make  any  attempt  to 
ascertain  the  total  quantity  or  value  of  these  prod- 
ucts, the  schedules  calling  only  for  the  quantity  and 
value  of  those  sold  during  1909.

A comparatively  small  quantity  of  flax  fiber  and 
straw  was  sold  by  the  farmers.  The  quantity  of  other 
straw  sold,  however,  was  considerable,  the  value 
amounting  to  $3,189,000,  and  the  amount  received 
from  the  sale  of  cornstalks  was  $801,000.  The  amount 
of  straw  and  cornstalks  sold  depends  very  largely  upon 
whether  there  are  in  the  vicinity  cities,  towns,  or  atI- 
lages  where  such  materials  are  needed,  inasmuch  as 
those  by-products  are  seldom  sold  by  one  farmer  to 
another. 


FARM  ('ROPS,  BY  STATES. 

FRUITS  AND  NUTS. 


409 


Tlio  value  of  fruits  ami  nuts  produced  in  the  United 
States  in  1909  amounted  to  .1222,024,000,  or  4 per  cent 
of  the  total  value  of  farm  crops.  This  value  exceeds 
that  reported  for  1899,  .^133,049,000,  by  66.9  per  cent. 
It  is  hnpossible  to  state  the  qtiantity  of  the  product  as  a 
single  total,  but  the  statistics  for  mdividual  classes 
show  that  in  general  the  value  increased  by  a much 
larger  percentage  than  the  production.  Of  the  total 
value  of  Iruits  and  nuts  in  1909,  $29,974,000  was  con- 
tributed by  small  fruits,  $140,867,000  by  orchard 
fruits,  $22,028,000  by  grapes,  $22,711,000  by  citrus 
fruits,  $1,995,000  by  other  tropical  and  subtropical 
fniits,  and  $4,448,000  by  nuts.  The  value  of  each  of 
these  classes  in  1909  was  very  much  greater  than  in 
1899,  except  in  the  case  of  small  fruits.  The  distribu- 
tion of  this  value  in  1909  among  the  states  is  shown 
by  the  map  on  page  417. 


Small  fruits  (Tables  60  and  61). — The  acreage  of 
small  fruits  reported  in  1909  was  272,460,  as  com- 
pared with  309,770  in  1899,  thus  showing  a decrease 
of  37,310  acres,  or  12  per  cent.  Tiic  total  production 
in  1909,  426,566,000  quarts,  was  7.9  per  cent  less  than 
ten  years  earlier,  when  the  quantity  produced  was 
463,219,000  quarts,  but  the  value,  $29,974,000,  was 
nearly  one-fifth  greater,  the  value  of  small  fruits  being 
$25,030,000  in  1899.  The  acreage  hi  1909  represented 
0.1  per  cent  of  the  total  improved  fann  acreage  of  the 
comitry,  and  the  value  0.5  per  cent  of  the  total  value 
ol  farm  crops.  The  production  of  small  fruits  taken 
as  a group  is  widely  distributed  through  the  country. 
In  acreage  the  East  North  Central  division  ranked 
first  m 1909,  the  Middle  Atlantic  second,  and  the 
South  Atlantic  tliird,  but  in  value  the  Middle  Atlantic 
division  outranked  all  others.

1 Includes  cranberries  and  all  other  unclassified  small  fruits. 


* Reported  in  small  fractions. 


Strawberries  are  the  most  important  of  the  small 
fruits,  representing  in  1909  over  half  of  the  total  acre- 
age and  about  tliree-fourths  of  the  total  value.  The 
acreage  of  raspberries  and  loganberries  hi  1909  was 
slightly  less  than  that  of  blackberries  and  dewberries, 
but  the  production  and  value  were  considerably 
greater.  The  production  of  strawberries  and  black- 
berries is  very  widely  distributed  through  the  country, 
but  that  of  raspberries,  currants,  and  gooseberries  is 
mainly  confined  to  the  North  and  West,  and  that  of 
cranberries  is  almost  wholly  confined  to  Massachusetts, 
New  Jersey,  and  Wisconsin. 


The  acreage  of  each  of  tlie  separate  classes  of  small 
fruits  covered  by  the  table  was  less  in  1909  than  in 
1899;  and  the  production  was  likewise  less  except  in 
the  case  of  cranberries  for  which  38,243,000  quarts  were 
reported  in  1909.  In  1899  the  production  of  straw- 
berries was  257,427,000  quarts,  that  of  blackberries 
and  dewberries  62,190,000  quarts,  that  of  raspberries 
and  loganberries  76,628,000  quarts,  that  of  cun-ants 
18,593,000  quarts,  that  of  gooseberries  9,321,000  quarts, 
and  that  of  cranberries  31,601,000  quarts.  The  value 
of  the  separate  kinds  of  small  fruits  was  not  called  for 
by  the  agricultural  schedule  at  the  Twelfth  Census.

• Reported  in  small  fractions. 

Orchard  fruits  (Table  62). — Neither  in  1910  nor  in 
1900  did  the  census  schedules  call  for  the  acreage 
of  orchard  fruits,  but  at  both  censuses  the  number  of 
trees  of  bearing  age  was  called  for,  and  at  the  later 
census  also  the  number  not  of  bearing  age.  In  the 
report  of  the  census  of  1900,  however,  the  behef  was 
expressed  that  some  trees  not  of  bearing  age  were  re- 
ported by  the  enumerators  as  of  bearing  age.  This 
doubtless  accounts  wholly  or  in  part  for  the  decreasc 
in  the  reported  number  of  trees  of  bearing  age  for  all 
classes  of  orchard  fruits  combined,  from  369,377,000 
in  1900  to  301,117,000  in  1910.  Decreases  also  appear 
in  the  totals  for  the  United  States  for  every  kind  of 
orchard  fruit  which  was  reported  separately.  The  num- 
ber of  trees  which  were  not  of  bearing  age  in  1910  was 
130,973,000.  The  total  production  of  orchard  fruits 
in  1909  was  216,084,000  bushels,  or  only  slightly  more 
than  in  1899,  but  all  the  kinds  of  fruit  excej)t  apples, 
in  which  there  was  a tlecrease,  show  high  ])ercentages

of  increase.  The  value  of  all  orchard  fruits  in  1909, 
however,  $140,867,000,  was  68.2  per  cent  greater  than 
the  value  in  1899,  and  rcji resented  2.6  per  cent  of  the 
total  value  of  farm  crops. 

The  production  of  orchard  fruits  as  a group  is  very 
widely  distributed  throughout  the  country.  As  meas- 
ured by  number  of  trees  of  bearing  age  in  1910,  the 
East  North  Central  was  the  leading  tlivision,  followed 
by  the  West  North  Central  and  the  South  Atlantic; 
but  as  determined  by  value  of  fruit  produced  in  1909 
the  ranking  is  (piitc  dilTerent,  the  Middle  Atlantic  divi- 
sion standing  first,  the  Pacific  division  second,  ami  the 
East  North  Central  thiixl.  The  leading  states  in  the 
value  of  fruit  ])roduced  are  California  and  New  York. 

Apples  are  much  (he  most  important  of  the  orchard 
fruits,  their  value  in  1909  being  59.1  j)er  cent  of  the 
total.  Peaches  and  nectarines  rank  next,  with  20.4  per 
cent  of  the  total,  followed  by  jilums  and  prunes,  pears, 
cherries,  ami  a]n-icots  and  (piinces  in  the  order  named.

Dofinito  conclusions  as  to  tho  relative  i]n[)ortance 
of  tlill’erent  states  can  not  always  ho  drawn  from  the 
nuinber  of  trees  of  hearing  age,  since  tho  trees  in  some 
states  are  much  more  prolific  than  in  others,  nor  does 
tho  production  of  any  given  year  furnish  an  altogether 
satisfactory  index,  since  weather  conditions  may  he

in  another.

Apples  (Table  63). — The  number  of  apple  trees  of 
bearing  age  in  1910  was  151,323,000,  and  there 
were  65,792,000  trees  not  of  bearing  age.  The  pro- 
duction in  1909  was  147,522,000  bashels,  as  compared 
with  175,398,000  bushels  in  1899,  a decrease  of  15.9 
per  cent.  The  value  of  the  apple  crop  in  1909  was 


$83,231,000  or  1.5  per  cent  of  tho  total  value  of  all 
crops.  Values  were  not  reported  for  individual  kinds 
of  fruit  in  1899. 

While  apple  production  is  widely  distributed,  the 
leading  geographic  divisions  are  the  Middle  Atlantic, 
East  North  Central,  and  West  North  Central.  There 
is,  however,  a marked  development  in  the  western  sec- 
tions of  the  country,  which  hi  part  ex])lains  the  fact 
that  in  1910  the  ratio  of  the  number  of  trees  not  of 
bearing  age  to  the  number  of  bearing  age  was  much 
higher  in  the  West  South  Central,  ^Mountain,  and 
Pacific  divisions  than  in  any  of  the  more  easterly 
divisions  except  the  South  Atlantic.

ABSTRACT  OF  THI^]  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


Peaches  and  nectarines  (Table  04). — The  number 
of  peacli  and  nectarine  trees  of  bearing  ago  April  15, 
1910,  was  94,507,000,  and  tlie  number  not  of  bearing 
age  42,266,000.  The  value  of  peaches  and  nectarines 
produced  in  1909  was  .*128,781,000.  The  production  is 
very  widely  distributed . In  number  of  trees  of  bearing 
ago  in  1910  the  West  South  Central  division  ranked 
lirst  and  the  South  Atlantic  division  second;  but  m the 
production  of  1909  the  Pacific  division  (in  which  nearly 
the  enth’O  production  is  in  California)  decidedly  out- 
ranked all  others,  with  the  East  South  Central  division 
second  and  the  South  Atlantic  third.

Pears  (Table  65). — The  number  of  pear  trees  re- 
ported as  of  bearing  age  in  1910  was  15,172,000,  and 
there  were  8,804,000  trees  not  of  bearing  age.  The 
production  increased  from  6,625,000  bushels  in  1899 
to  8,841,000  bushels  in  1909,  or  33.4  per  cent.  The 
value  of  the  crop  in  1909  was  $7,911,000.  In  number 
of  trees  of  bearing  age  in  1910,  the  Middle  Atlantic 
and  East  North  Central  divisions  ranked  far  above  the 
others,  but  in  the  production  for  1909  the  Pacific  divi- 
sion stood  first.  California  and  New  York  together 
produced  about  three-eighths  of  the  total  pear  crop. 
Only  one  other  state,  Michigan,  reported  the  produc- 
tion of  more  than  500,000  bushels  of  pears.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRK^ULTURE 


Apricots  (Table  08). — The  production  of  apricots 
is  mainly  confined  to  California,  which  produced  98 
per  cent  of  the  total  cro])  in  1909.  In  Kansas,  Okla- 
homa, and  Texas  there  are  a good  many  aiiricot  trees, 
blit  the  ])roduction  reported  for  1909  was  insignificant, 
perhajis  because  of  temjiorarily  unfavorable  climatic 
conditions.  The  number  of  trees  of  bearing  age  in 
the  United  States  in  1910,  as  reported,  was  3,070,000. 
The  production  in  1909  was  4,150,000  bushels,  or  57.1 
per  cent  more  than  that  in  1899.  The  value  of  the 
cro]>  in  1909  was  $2,884,000. 

Quinces  (Table  08). — The  production  of  quinces  is 
much  less  important  than  that  of  the  fruits  previously 
mentioned.  The  total  number  of  trees  of  bearing  age 
m 1910  was  1,154,000,  and  of  trees  not  of  bearing  age 
595,000.  The  production  in  1909,  429,000  bushels, 
was  valued  at  $517,000,  New  York,  Ohio,  and  Penn- 
sylvania being  the  leading  states.  This  crop  was  not 
separately  reported  at  the  census  of  1900.

Grapes  (Table  69). — The  total  number  of  grape- 
vines of  bearing  age  in  1910  was  223,702,000,  and  the 
number  not  of  bearing  age  59,929,000.  The  produc- 
tion of  grapes  in  1909,  2,571,065,000  pounds,  was 
nearly  twice  as  great  as  in  1899.  The  value  in  1909, 
$22,028,000,  represented  0.4  per  cent  of  the  total 
value  of  farm  crops.  The  value  given  for  1899, 
$14,090,000,  is  not  precisely  comparable  witli  that 
for  1909,  since  it  includes  tlie  value  of  such  derived 
products  as  wine  and  rai.sins,  while  the  value  given 
for  1909  represents  the  fruit  alone.  Since,  however, 


in  all  states  except  California,  the  larger  part  of  the 
grapes  are  sold  in  their  natural  condition,  the  values 
shown  for  most  of  the  states  are  probably  quite  closely 
comparable.

The  value  of  citrus  fruits  was  $22,711,000,  of  figs 
$804,000,  of  pineapples  $734,000,  and  that  of  olives 
$405,000,  other  fruits  being  represented  by  relatively 
insignificant  amounts.  The  value  of  the  separate  lands 
of  fruit  was  not  reported  for  1899.  The  production  of 
citrus  fruits  in  1909  amounted  to  23,502,000  boxes,  as 
compared  with  7,098,000  boxes  in  1899 — an  increase 
of  231.1  per  cent.  To  the  value  of  the  citrus  fruits 
in  1909  oranges  contributed  $17,566,000,  lemons 
$2,994,000,  and  grapefruit  $2,061,000.  Much  the 
greater  part  of  the  tropical  and  subtropical  fruit 
produced  in  the  United  States  is  grown  in  California 
and  Florida,  the  value  of  the  product  of  the  former 
state  in  1909  constituting  67.8  per  cent  of  the  total, 
and  that  of  the  latter  28.7  per  cent. 

Oranges. — In  1910  the  number  of  orange  trees  of 
bearing  age  was  9,738,000,  and  the  number  not  of 
bearing  age,  4, 327,000. ‘ The  production  in  1909 
amounted  to  19,487,000  boxes,  or  more  than  three 
times  the  number  in  1899.  The  value  of  the  1909 
crop  was  $17,566,000.  Nearly  three-fourths  of  the 
1909  crop  was  produced  in  California,  and  most  of  the 
remainder  in  Florida.  The  production  in  the  latter 
state  in  1909  was  about  eighteen  times  as  great  as  in 
1899,  the  crop  of  the  earlier  year  having  been  greatly 
reduced  by  disastrous  frosts. 

Lemons. — There  were  957,000  lemon  trees  of  bearing 
age  in  the  United  States  in  1910,  and  396,000  not  of 
bearing  age.  The  production  in  1909  amounted  to 

2,770,000  boxes,  as  compared  ^vith  877,000  boxes  in 
1899 — an  increase  of  215.9  per  cent.  The  value  of 
the  crop  of  1909  was  $2,994,000,  the  average  value 
per  box  being  somewhat  greater  than  in  the  case  of 
oranges.  Nearly  the  entire  production  of  lemons  was 
in  Cahfomia. 

Grapefruit. — No  other  class  of  fruit  shows  so  great 
an  increase  between  1899  and  1909  as  pomelo,  or 
grapefruit.  Wliile  the  crop  of  1899  was  affected  by 
the  frosts  in  Florida,  the  leading  state  in  the  growing 
of  this  fruit,  the  production  during  recent  years  has 
been  very  much  greater  than  during  even  the  most 
favorable  years  prior  to  1900.  The  total  number  of 
grapefruit  trees  of  bearing  age  in  1910  was  710,000, 
and  of  trees  not  of  bearing  age  641,000.  The  produc- 
tion in  1909  amounted  to  1,189,000  boxes,  as  com- 

* It  should  be  noted  that,  as  in  the  case  of  orchard  fruits,  the 
number  of  tropical  and  subtropical  fruit  trees  reported  as  of  bearing 
age  in  1900  is  believed  to  have  included  a good  many  not  of  bearing 
age,  and  to  be,  therefore,  incomparable  with  the  number  for  1910. 


BY  STATES. 

pared  with  31,000  bo.xes  in  1899,  and  the  crop  was* 
valued  at  $2,0(51 ,000. 

Other  citrus  fruits. — Tlic  other  citrus  fruits  are 
relatively  unimportant.  They  include  limes,  tanger- 
ines, and  kumquats,  chiefly  produced  in  Florida,  and 
mandarins,  chiefly  jnoduced  in  Louisiana.  The  total 
production  of  limes  amounted  to  only  about  11,000 
boxes,  valued  at  slightly  more  than  $12,000.  That  of 
tangarines  nearly  39,000  boxes,  valued  at  almost 
$69,000,  while  that  of  mandarins  and  kumquats  was 
very  small.

Figs. — The  production  of  figs  is  somewhat  more 
widely  distributed  than  that  of  the  citrus  fruits.  The 
total  number  of  trees  of  bearing  age  in  1910  was 
822,000,  but  there  was  a still  larger  number  not  of 
bearing  age.  The  production  in  1909  amounted  to 

35.060.000  pounds,  valued  at  $804,000;  the  crop  in 
1899  amounted  to  12,995,000  pounds.  The  leading 
state  is  California,  which  produced  nearly  two-thirds 
of  the  total  crop  in  1909. 

Olives. — The  production  of  olives  is  practically  con- 
fined to  Califorma  and  Arizona.  The  crop  of  1909, 

16.405.000  pounds,  was  more  than  tlmee  times  as 
great  as  that  of  1899. 

Pineapples. — The  production  of  pineapples  m the 
United  States  is  virtually  confined  to  Florida.  The 
crop  of  1909  amounted  tp  779,000  crates.  The  pro- 
duction as  reportetl  for  1899  was  expressed  in  number 
of  pineapples,  but  on  the  basis  of  the  average  number 
per  crate  (about  30)  it  amounted  to  aboilt  95,000  crates.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE 


Other  tropical  and  subtropical  fruits. — In  addition  to 
tlio  fruits  already  listed,  there  are  a considerable  num- 
ber of  other  tropical  and  subtropical  fruits  produced 
in  small  quantities  in  the  United  States,  mainly  in 
Florida  and  California.  These  include  bananas,  avo- 
cado pears,  guavas,  mangoes,  pemimmons  (Japanese), 
loquats,  pomegranates,  and  dates. 


The  total  nut  crop  reported  for  1909,  62,328,000 
pounds,  was  55.7  per  cent  greater  than  that  reported 
for  1899,  and  the  value,  $4,448,000,  was  128.1  per 
cent  greater.  California  is  by  far  the  most  important 
state  in  the  production  of  nuts,  and  Texas  ranks  next. 
No  other  state  reported  as  much  as  $100,000  worth  of 
nuts  in  1909.

Nuts  (Tables  72  and  73). — Systematic  cultivation 
of  nut  trees,  which  is  for  the  most  part  comparatively 
recent  in  the  United  States,  is  as  yet  largely  confined 
to  a few  states  in  the  South  and  on  the  Pacific  coast. 
Throughout  large  sections  of  the  country,  however, 
there  are  many  wild  nut  trees,  the  aggregate  produc- 
tion of  which  is  considerable;  but  m most  cases  the 
nuts  obtained  from  such  trees  are  not  looked  upon  as 
a commercial  crop  and  are  mainly  consumed  on  the 
farm.  Doubtless  the  production  of  such  wild  nuts 
reported  to  the  Census  Bureau  is  much  less  than  the 
actual  production.

tion.  The  combined  value  of  those  three  classes  of 
nuts  in  1909  amounted  to  $3,981,00G,  or  about  nine- 
tenths  of  the  total  for  all  nuts. 

The  crop  of  Persian  or  English  walnuts  in  1909, 
22,027,000  pounds,  was  more  tliau  twice  as  great  as 
that  in  1899.  Most  of  those  nuts  were  grown  in  Cali- 
fornia. The  production  of  pecans  in  1909,  9,891,000 


pounds,  was  more  than  three  times  as  great  as  that  of 
10  years  earlier.  About  three-fifths  of  the  crop  was 
grown  in  Texas,  and  most  of  tlie  remainder  in  Okla- 
homa, Louisiana,  Mississippi,  Georgia,  and  Florida. 
The  ])roduction  of  almonds,  which  is  mainly  confined 
to  California,  amounted  to  6,794,000  j)ounds  in  1909, 
or  somewhat  less  than  in  1899.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 

FLOWERS  AND  PLANTS,  NURSERY  PRODUCTS,  AND  FOREST  PRODUCTS. 


Flowers  and  plants. — Table  74  includes  statistics 
both  for  flowers  and  jjlants  raised  on  ordinary  farms 
and  for  those  raised  by  florists’  establishments  devoted 
exclusively  to  this  branch  of  industry.  Often  such 
establishments  have  comparatively  little  land,  but 
raise  their  products  chiefly  in  greenhouses  and  by 
highly  intensive  methods.  The  acreage  statistics, 
therefore,  have  comparatively  little  significance.  The 
acreage  reported  for  the  United  States  as  a whole  in 
1909  amounted  to  18,248.  The  value  of  the  flowers 
and  plants  raised  was  $34,872,000,  an  increase  of  85.9 
per  cent  as  compared  with  1899.  These  products 
contributed  0.6  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  crops  in 
1909.  The  value  of  flower  seeds  is  not  included  in 
this  table,  but  appears,  together  with  that  of  vege- 
table seeds,  in  Table  38. 

As  might  be  expected,  the  raising  of  flowers  and 
plants  is  most  extensively  carried  on  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  large  cities.  New  York,  Pennsylvania, 
Illinois,  New  Jersey,  Massachusetts,  and  Ohio  are  the 
leading  states  in  this  industry  according  to  value  of 
products.  The  raising  of  flowers  and  plants  is  also 
an  important  industry  on  the  Pacific  coast. 

Nursery  products. — As  in  the  case  of  flowers  and 
plants,  the  statistics  presented  in  Table  74  cover  the 
raising  of  nursery  products  not  only  on  ordinary 
farms,  but  also  by  establishments  which  devote  them- 
selves exclusively  to  this  branch  of  agriculture,  and 
which  employ  only  intensive  methods.  The  acreage 
in  1909,  80,618,  was  35.5  per  cent  greater  than  in  1899, 
while  the  value  of  products,  $21,051,000,  was  more 
than  twice  as  great  as  10  years  earlier,  and  was  equal 
to  0.4  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  farm  crops. 

In  value  of  nursery  products  the  Middle  Atlantic 
division  ranked  first,  the  West  North  Central  second, 
the  Pacific  third,  and  the  East  North  Central  fourth. 
New  York  reported  a greater  value  of  such  products 
than  any  other  state,  California  being  next  in  order. 


Forest  products. — The  census  schedule  for  1910 
called  for  the  “value  of  all  firewood,  fencing  material, 
logs,  railroad  ties,  telegraph  and  telephone  poles, 
materials  for  barrels,  bark,  naval  stores,  or  other 
forest  products  cut  or  produced  in  1909,  whether  used 
on  farms,  sold,  or  on  hand  April  15,  1910;”  and  also, 
as  a separate  item,  for  the  “amount  received  from 
sale  of  standing  timber  in  1909.”  The  schedifle  of  the 
1900  census  was  substantially  similar,  except  that 
it  did  not  specifically  mention  standing  tunber;  it  is 
probable  that  some  sales  of  standing  timber  were  in- 
cluded in  the  returns,  but  that  the  total  value  of  forest 
products  as  reported  for  1899  was  somewhat  lower 
than  it  would  have  been  if  the  schedule  had  been 
worded  as  in  1910.  The  value  of  forest  products  at 
each  census,  as  shown  in  Table  74,  represents  only  that 
derived  from  farms,  which  is  much  less  than  that  de- 
rived from  land  not  in  farms.  Most  of  the  forest 
products  of  farms  are  derived  from  natural  forests,  as 
there  is  yet  little  systematic  planting  of  forest  trees. 

The  total  value  of  the  forest  products  of  farms  in 
1909  was  $195,306,283,  which  is  77.8  per  cent  greater 
than  that  reported  for  1899.  Of  this  arnoimt, 
$102,782,078  was  the  value  of  products  used  or  to  be 
used  on  the  farms  themselves,  $70,800,983  that  of 
products  sold  or  intended  for  sale,  and  $21,723,222  the 
amount  received  for  standing  timber.  The  total  value 
of  forest  products  of  farms  in  1909  represented  3.6  per 
cent  of  the  value  of  all  crops. 

The  production  of  forest  products  by  farmers  is 
widely  distributed.  In  1909  the  South  Atlantic  divi- 
sion outranked  all  others  in  the  value  of  such  products, 
and  was  followed  by  the  East  North  Central  and  East 
South  Central  divisions.  The  states  of  North  Carolina, 
New  York,  and  Virginia  each  reported  forest  products 
valued  at  more  than  $10,000,000.  In  total  value  of 
forest  products,  including  those  not  produced  on  farms, 
the  ranking  of  the  states  would  be  very  different.

CHAPTEI^  14. 

TJniTGATION  AND  IRRIGATED  GROTS. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  contains,  in  condensed 
form,  the  jjrincipal  data  regarding  irrigation  derived 
from  the  Tiiirteenth  Decennial  Census,  taken  in  the 
year  1910. 

An  amendment  to  the  Thirteenth  Census  act,  ap- 
proved February  25,  1910,  contained  the  following 
clause  relatmg  to  m-igation: 

Inquiries  shall  also  be  made  as  to  the  location  and  character  of 
irrigation  enterprises,  quantity  of  land  irrigated  in  the  arid  region 
of  the  United  States  and  in  each  state  and  county  in  that  section 
under  state  and  Federal  laws;  the  price  at  which  these  lands,  includ- 
ing water  rights,  are  obtainable;  the  character  and  value  of  crojjs 
produced  on  irrigated  lands,  the  amount  of  water  used  per  acre  for 
said  irrigation  and  whether  it  was  obtainable  from  national,  state, 
or  private  works;  the  location  of  the  various  projects  and  methods 
of  construction,  with  facts  as  to  their  physical  condition;  the  amount 
of  capital  invested  in  such  irrigation  works. 

As  the  Office  of  Experiment  Stations  of  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agricidture  employs  a corps  of 
state  irrigation  agents,  an  arrangement  was  made  by 
which  these  state  irngation  agents  cooperated  in  the 
supervdsion  in  their  respective  states  of  the  work  of  the 
special  agents  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in  collecting 
statistics  of  irrigation. 

The  information  called  for  by  this  law  which  could 
be  supplied  by  farm  operators  was  obtained  oh  sup- 
plemental schedules  by  the  regular  census  enumerators 
as  a part  of  the  agricultural  census.  The  remaining 
data,  which  were  supplied  by  the  owners  or  officials  of 
irrigation  entei’prises,  were  obtained  on  special  sched- 
ules by  the  special  agents.  The  data  relating  to  crops 
presented  here  were  taken  from  the  supplemental  sched- 
ules filled  out  by  the  agricultural  enumerators.  With 
the  exception  of  the  statistics  as  to  the  number  of 
farms  irrigated,  which  were  obtained  as  explained  on 
the  following  page,  all  the  other  data  presented  here 
were  taken  from  the  special  schedules. 

The  law  relating  to  the  special  irrigation  census, 
quoted  above,  provided  that  the  inquiry  should  cover 
the  “arid  region  of  the  United  States.”  For  the  pur- 
poses of  this  report  the  “arid  region”  has  been  held 
to  include  all  sections  of  the  United  States  where 
irrigation  is  generally  practiced  in  the  grovdng  of  farm 
crops.  As  defined  in  this  way,  the  “arid  region”  in- 
cludes the  western  parts  of  the  tier  of  states  formed  by 


the  Dakotas,  Nebraska,  Kansas,  Oklahoma,  and  Texas, 
and  all  of  the  states  between  these  and  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  In  parts  of  tliis  great  territory  there  is  abund-- 
ant  rainfall;  but  in  each  of  the  states  comprised  in  it- 
thero  are  considerable  sections,  and  hi  some  very 
extensive  areas,  where  f aiming  is  largely  dependent 
upon  migation. 

The  special  hiquh-y  was  also  extended  to  the  rice 
growmg  districts  of  Louisiana,  Texas,  and  Ai’kansas, 
but  the  rice  district  has  been  treated  separately  in  this 
report.  (See  p.  431.) 

In  accordance  with  the  law,  the  enterprises  have 
been  classified  primarily  according  to  their  legal 
status — that  is,  according  to  the  state  or  Federal  laws 
by  virtue  of  which  they  were  created,  or  according  to 
other  features  of  their  legal  and  economic  form.  The 
types  of  enterprises  distmguished  are  as  follows: 

United  States  Reclamation  Service  enterprises,  established  under 
the  Federal  law  of  June  17,  1902,  providing  for  the  construction  of 
irrigation  works  with  the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  public  lands. 

United  States  Indian  Service  enterprises,  established  under  va- 
rious acts  of  Fongress  providing  for  the  construction  by  that  service 
of  works  for  the  irrigation  of  land  in  Indian  reservations. 

Carey  Act  enterprises,  established  under  the  Federal  law  of  Au- 
gust 18, 1894,  granting  to  each  of  the  states  in  t he  arid  region  1,000,000 
acres  of  land  on  condition  that  the  state  provide  for  its  irrigation, 
and  under  amendments  to  that  law  granting  additional  areas  to 
Idaho  and  Wyoming. 

Irrigation  districts,  which  are  public  corporations  established 
under  state  laws  and  empowered  to  issue  bonds  and  levy  and 
collect  taxes  for  the  purchase  or  construction  of  inigation  works. 

Cooperative  enterprises,  which  are  controlled  by  the  water  users 
combined  in  some  organized  form  of  cooperation  under  state  laws. 
The  most  common  form  of  organization  is  the  stock  company,  the 
stock  of  which  is  owned  by  the  water  users.  In  Arizona  and  New 
Mexico  many  of  the  fcooperative  enterprises  are  operated  under 
laws  regulating  “ community  ” ditches. 

Individual  and  partnership  enterprises,  which  belong  to  indi- 
vidual farmer.s,  or  to  groups  of  farmers  associated  without  formal 
organization.  It  is  not  always  possible  to  distinguish  between 
partnership  and  cooperative  enterprises;  but  as  the  difference  is 
slight  this  is  unimportant. 

Commercial  enterprises,  incorporated  or  otherwise,  which  supply 
water  for  compensation  to  parties  who  own  no  interest  in  the  works. 
Persons  obtaining  water  from  such  enterprises  ai’e  usually  required 
to  pay  for  the  right  to  receive  water  and  to  pay,  in  addition,  annual 
charges  based  in  some  instances  on  the  acreage  irrigated  and  in  others 
on  the  quantity  of  water  received.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 

THE  ARID  REGION  AS  A WHOLE. 


Summary. — Table  1 summarizes  the  principal  data 
for  the  arid  region  as  a whole  as  returned  at  the  census 
of  1910,  and  includes  corresponding  data  for  the 
preceding  census  as  far  as  available.  Unless  otherwise 
indicated  the  figures  relate  to  the  year  in  which  the 
census  was  taken.  In  the  reports  of  the  censuses  of 
1900  and  1890  data  relating  to  irrigation  on  Indian  reser- 
vations were  excluded  fromthe  totals  for  the  arid  region, 
but  for  the  later  census  they  are  included.  Smee  the 
acreage  which  was  irrigated  on  Indian  reservations  in 
1909  was  only  172,912,  or  1.3  per  cent  of  the  total 
acreage  reported  as  irrigated,  it  has  not  been  deemed 
advisable  to  eliminate  the  figures  for  Indian  reserva- 
tions in  making  comparisons  between  the  different 
censuses.  The  general  agricultural  statistics  given  in 
the  table  for  purposes  of  comparison  cover  the  entire 
areas  of  the  states  included  in  the  arid  region,  as 
defined  on  the  precedmg  page,  although  in  some  of 
the  states  the  territory  which  requires  no  irrigation 
vastly  exceeds  the  irrigated  territory. 

The  number  of  farms  irrigated  is  the  number  of 
farms  on  which  irrigation  is  practiced,  regardless  of  the 
extent  of  such  irrigation,  and  is  equivalent  to  the  term 
“number  of  u-rigators”  used  in  previous  census  reports. 
The  number  given  for  1909  is  made  up  of  the  number 
reported  on  the  supplemental  agricultiu’al  schedules  by 


the  regular  enumerators,  together  with  an  estimate  of 
the  number  of  farms  served  by  enterprises  which  were 
reported  by  special  agents  but  not  by  the  regular  enu- 
merators. The  reports  of  the  special  agents  stated  only 
the  acreage  supplied  by  such  enterprises,  and  the  num- 
ber of  farms  was  estimated  on  the  basis  of  the  average 
acreage  nrigated  per  farm,  as  shown  by  the  supple- 
mental schedules. 

The  acreage  irrigated  in  1909  is  that  reported  by  the 
special  agents  from  information  secured  from  owners 
or  officials  of  irrigation  enterprises  or,  in  some  in- 
stances, from  public  records.  This  acreage  is  probably 
in  some  measure  an  overstatement.  There  is  a natural 
tendency  for  the  officials  of  irrigation  enterprises  to 
report  as  irrigated  the  entire  areas  of  farms  of  which 
only  a part  is  irrigated.  Furthermore,  some  farms  re- 
ceive water  from  more  than  one  enterprise,  and  may  be 
reported  as  ii’rigated  by  each,  wliich  results  in  duplica- 
tion. It  is  believed,  however,  that  the  acreage  given  is 
within  10  per  cent  of  the  correct  figure.  In  addition 
to  information  as  to  the  acreage  irrigated  in  1909  data 
were  collected  as  to  the  acreage  the  enterprises  were 
capable  of  supplying  with  water  in  1910  and  the  total 
acreage  which  enterprises  completed  or  imder  way  in 
1910  were  designed  to  supply  ultimately  (designated 
as  “acreage  included  in  projects”)-

which  irrigation  was  ])racticcd  increased  47.7  per  cent 
between  1899  and  1909,  the  irrigated  farms  forming  a 
larger  percentage  of  all  farms  in  1909  than  in  1899. 
The  acreage  reported  as  irrigated  in  1 909  was  1 3,738,485, 
which  constitutes  1.2  ])er  cent  of  the  total  land  area 
of  the  same  states,  3.5  per  cent  of  the  total  land  in 
farms,  and  7.9  per  cent  of  the  improved  land  in  farms. 
There  was  an  increase  of  82.7  per  cent  in  such  acreage 
between  1899  and  1909,  a rate  of  increase  much  higlier 
than  that  in  the  number  of  farms  irrigated,  the  average 
irrigated  acreage  per  farm  being  greater  for  1909  than 
for  1899. 

The  acreage  to  which  enterprises  were  ready  to 
supply  water  in  1910  was  19,334,697,  or  5,596,212 
acres  in  excess  of  the  acreage  irrigated  in  1909,  while

The  total  number  of  farms  on  which  irrigation  was 
practiced  in  1909  was  158,713.  California  contained 
the  lai'gest  number  of  such  farms,  having  about  one- 
fourth  (24.8  per  cent)  of  the  total  number,  and  Colo- 
rado the  next  largest  number,  nearly  one-sixth  (16.3 
percent)  of  the  total,  while  Utah  ranked  thhxl  m this  re- 
spect, with  about  one-eighth  (12.4  percent)  of  the  total. 

The  percentage  of  increase  between  1889  and  1899 
in  the  number  of  farms  ifrigated  was  more  than  double 
that  during  the  succeeding  decade,  but  the  absolute 


ing  a combined  capacity  of  12,581,129  acre-feet,  or 
nearly  1 acre-foot  of  rcseiwolr  capacity  for  each  acre 
irrigated  from  any  source  in  1909.  Tlie  number  of 
pumping  plants  reported  was  13,906  and  the  acreage 
supplied  by  them  477,625. 

The  total  cost  of  irrigation  enterprises  to  July  1, 
1910,  was  $307,866,369,  or  $15.92  per  acre  of  the  land 
which  these  enterprises  were  capable  of  supplying  with 
water  in  1910.  The  increases  in  the  items  relating  to 
cost  are  the  most  conspicuous  shown.  The  total  cost 
of  irrigation  enterprises  increased  between  1900  and 
1910  by  359.8  per  cent,  and  the  average  cost  per 
acre  covered  increased  also,  although  much  less  in 
degree.  (As  to  the  comparability  of  the  figures  for 
this  item,  however,  see  the  discussion  of  tliis  subject 
following  Table  12.)  The  average  cost  of  operation 
and  maintenance  per  acre  of  land  irrigated  for  the 
year  1909  shows  also  a large  increase — 181.6  jjer  cent — 
over  the  cost  shown  for  1899.  It  is  believed,  how- 
ever, that  the  cost  shown  for  1899  is  not  properly 
comparable  with  that  for  1909. 

AGE  IRRIGATED. 

increases  during  the  two  decades  were  approximately 
equal.  Nebraska  showed  the  largest  percentage  of 
mcrease  during  the  former  period  and  Texas  during 
the  latter  period,  but  in  neither  state  is  the  actual 
number  of  irrigated  farms  large.  In  Nebraska  and 
South  Dakota  there  were  decreases  between  1899  and 
1909.  The  largest  absolute  increase  in  both  decades 
was  in  California.  In  the  period  1899  to  1909  the  next 
lai'gest  increase  was  in  Colorado,  and  in  the  period  1889 
to  1899  in  Utah.

' Kxoliisive  of  land  iirigatod  for  rico  growing. 


The  enter])rises  were  repoi  ti'd  in  1910  as  capable  of 
irrigating  19,334,697  acres,  which  is  5,596,212  acres  in 
excess  of  the  acreage  actually  irrigated  in  1909.  This 
excess  shows  the  extent  to  which  the  irrigated  area  can 
be  enlarged  without  the  construction  'of  additional 
works.  It  does  not,  however,  ropresent  land  avail- 
able for  settlement  in  the  latter  year,  as  much  of 
the  land  that  was  under  ditch  in  1910  but  not  irri- 


gated in  1909  was  already  taken  ii]),  being  in  farms 
not  comjdetely  under  cultivation.  The  excess  acreage 
lies  principally  in  Colorado,  Idaho,  California,  Montana, 
andWjmming,  these  states  ranking  in  the  order  named 
in  this  respect. 

Tlie  acreage  included  in  projects  which  w’cre  eilher 
comjdeted  or  under  way  July  1,  1910,  as  reported  by 
the  various  entciprises — 31,111,142 — was  17,372,657

acres  greater  than  the  acreage  irrigated  iii  1909.  The 
ligurc  would  indicate  the  amount  by  whicli  the  irri- 
gated acreage  may  bo  extended  iipon  the  completion 
of  existing  enterprises,  were  it  not  probable  that  the 
owners  of  these  enterprises  in  some  cases  have  over- 
estimated what  they  can  accomplish.  It  is  certain, 
however,  that  much  additional  land  will  later  be 
provided  with  a water  suj>ply  by  works  that  were  in 
process  of  construction  in  1910.  The  amount  of  ex- 
cess of  the  acreage  included  in  projects  over  that  irri- 
gated in  1909  is  also  greatest  in  the  states  named  in 
the  preceding  paragraph  and  in  Oregon. 

Table  5 shows  by  percentages  the  relative  im])or- 
tance  of  the  several  classes  of  enterprises  as  judged  by

Nearly  one-half  (45.5  per  cent)  of  the  acreage  iri’i- 
gated  in  1909  was  served  by  individual  and  partnershi]) 
enterprises,  and  about  one-third  (33.8  per  cent)  by 


cooperative  enterprises,  which  are  contiolled  by  the 
water  users.  Irrigation  districts,  which  served  3.8 
per  cent,  are  also  controlled  by  the  water  users.  Thus 
about  83  per  cent  of  the  acreage  irrigated  in  1909 
received  a water  su])])ly  from  works  controlled  by  the 
water  users.  United  States  Ileciamation  Service  and 
Carey  Act  enterprises,  wliich  irrigated  2.9  per  cent 
and  2,1  per  cent,  respectively,  of  this  total  acreage, 
are  to  be  turned  over  to  the  water  users  when  the 
rights  are  paid  for,  and  manj^  of  the  commercial  enter- 
prises are  operating  under  a similar  arrangement. 

Acreage  irrigated,  classified  by  source  of  water 
supply. — In  Table  6 the  acreage  irrigated  in  the  arid 
region  m 1909  is  classified  according  to  the  source  of 
the  water  supply.  Where  a supply  is  received  from 
more  than  one  source,  the  land  is  classified  under  the 
source  from  which  the  principal  supply  is  derived. 
In  the  aggregate  considerable  areas  are  supplied  with 
water  from  more  than  one  source.  Thus,  in  California, 
large  areas  receive  water  both  by  gra  vity  diversion  from 
streams  and  by  pumping  from  wells,  while  in  Texas 
some  of  the  newer  canals  on  the  Rio  Grande  receive 
water  by  gravity  when  the  river  is  high  and  by  pump- 
ing when  the  river  is  low.  In  both  instances  most  of 
this  land  is  classed  with  the  acreage  that  received 
water  by  gravity  from  streams.  Tlie  only  reservoirs 
which  are  treated  as  independent  sources  of  supply 
are  those  filled  by  collecting  storm  water  or  from 
watercoiuses  which  are  ordinarily  dry.  WRen  reser- 
voirs are  filled  from  streams  or  wells,  the  primary 
source  is  considered  the  source  of  supply.

' Exclusive  of  land  irrigated  for  rice  .growing. 


More  than  nine-tenths  (92.9  per  cent)  of  the  acreage 
irrigated  in  1909  was  supplied  with  water  by  gravity 
diversion  from  streams,  and,  including  cases  where 
water  was  pumped,  streams  constituted  the  source  of 
supply  for  94.1  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  irrigated. 
Wells  supplied  the  next  largest  acreage,  3.3  per  cent  of 
the  total,  about  one-third  of  this  acreage  being  watered 


by  flowing  wells.  Springs  furnished  the  supjily  for  1.4 
per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  irrigated,  and  reservoirs 
and  lakes  each  for  less  than  1 per  cent.  Of  the  total 
acreage  irrigated  from  wells,  California  contained  77.6 
per  cent,  and  New  Mexico  12.1  per  cent.  In  the  case 
of  the  other  sources  of  su]>ply  the  acreage  irrigated 
was  more  generall}^  distributed  among  the  states.

Reservoirs. — Table  8 gives,  by  states,  the  number 
and  capacity  of  reservoirs  used  for  irrigation  in  1910. 
The  acre-foot,  used  to  express  capacity,  is  the  quantity 
of  water  required  to  cover  1 acre  to  the  depth  of  1 foot, 
or  43,560  cubic  feet.  Most  of  these  reservoirs  are 
filled  from  streams  during  flood  season  and  in  the 
winter,  the  stored  water  being  used  in  the  late  sum- 
mer on  land  wliich  receives  its  earlier  supply  by 
gravity  diversion  from  streams.  Some,  however,  store 
storm  water  flowing  in  drainage  channels  which  are 
ordinarily  dry.

flowing  and  pumped  wells  used  for  irrigation  in  1910. 
The  capacities  reported  are  estimates  made  by  the 
owners,  and  arc  often  not  very  accurate,  as  few  well 
owners  liave  facilities  for  measuring  the  discharge  of 
weUs.  In  the  case  of  pumped  wells  many  of  the  state- 
ments of  capacity  are  based  on  the  estimated  pump 
capacity,  the  capacity  of  the  wells  themselves  never

being  grouped  under  the  designation  of  “subhumid  region.” 
f Separate  figures  not  available. 

* Exclusive  of  enterprises  supplying  water  for  the  irrigation  of  rice. 


The  cost  of  irrigation  enterprises  up  to  July  1,  1910, 
as  reported  at  the  Thirteenth  Census,  includes  the  cost 
of  construction,  the  cost  of  acquirmg  rights,  and  any 
added  costs  incident  to  construction,  such  as  the 
purchase  of  land  for  rights  of  way,  the  budding  of 
structures  for  use  in  operation  and  maintenance,  and 
engineering  and  legal  expenses.  For  all  of  the  larger 
enterprises  the  cost  is  that  given  by  the  owners,  but 
it  is  probable  that  in  many  cases  this  is  estimated 
rather  than  taken  from  actual  accounts.  For  some  of 
the  smaUer  enterprises  the  cost  was  estimated  by  the 
special  agents  of  the  Census  Bureau,  and  in  the  case 
of  some  schedules  received  by  mad  the  cost  has  been 
estimated  in  the  bureau  on  the  basis  of  the  average 
cost  per  acre  for  other  enterprises  of  the  same  class  in 
the  same  vicinity.  Many  of  the  smaller  ditches  were 
budt  a number  of  years  ago  by  their  owners  without 
the  expenditure  of  much,  if  any,  money,  and  many  of 
these  have  smee  changed  hands.  In  such  cases  the 
cost  given  by  the  present  owners  is  only  a rough  esti- 
mate. The  data  as  to  cost  reported  for  1899  and  1889 
are  probably  somewhat  less  accurate  than  those  for 
1910.  The  figure  for  cost  given  in  the  Twelfth  Census 
report  is  designated  as  the  "cost  of  construction  of 
systems  operated  in  1899.”  The  figure  for  cost  at  the 
Eleventh  Census  is  an  estimate  consisting  of  the  sum 
of  the  amounts  obtained  by  multiplying  the  acreage 
irrigated  by  the  average  first  cost  per  acre  of  obtaining 
water,  or  of  water  rights,  as  given  by  the  irrigators. 
Although  not  specifically  stated  m the  reports  for  the 


previous  censuses,  it  is  probable  that  the  figures  there 
given  include  the  same  items  represented  in  the  figure 
for  cost  in  1910. 

The  total  cost  of  irrigation  enterprises  up  to  July  1, 
1910,  was  reported  as  $307,866,369,  which  represents 
an  increase  of  $240,904,094,  or  359.8  per  cent  over 
the  cost  reported  at  the  census  of  1900.  In  no  state 
in  the  arid  region  was  the  increase  m cost  for  this 
period  less  than  100  per  cent,  the  highest  percentage 
of  increase  being  m North  Dakota  and  the  lowest  in 
Oklahoma.  With  respect  to  absolute  increase  Cali- 
fornia ranked  first,  Colorado  second,  Idaho  third,  and 
Montana  fourth.  The  year  1910  was  in  the  midst  of 
a period  of  great  activity  in  the  construction  of  irriga- 
tion works,  and  on  July  1,  1910,  a large  number  of 
works  were  incomplete.  The  "estimated  final  cost” 
reported,  $424,281,186,  is  the  sum  of  the  cost  up  to 
July  1 and  the  estimated  cost  of  completing  these 
unfinished  works. 

Average  cost  per  acre. — Table  12  gives  the  average 
cost  of  irrigation  enterprises  per  acre.  The  averages 
for  1889  and  1899  are,  with  one  exception,  for  the  acre- 
age actually  irrigated  in  the  respective  years.  These 
averages  are  probably  considerably  higher  than  if  they 
had  been  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the  acreage  the  en- 
terprises were  capable  of  irrigating.  At  the  Thirteenth 
Census  the  average  cost  per  acre  has  been  computed  by 
dividing  the  cost  to  July  1,  1910,  by  the  acreage  which 
enterprises  were  capable  of  irrigating  in  1910.  Aver- 
ages based  on  the  acreage  imgated  in  1909  and  the  cost

- Figures  for  Kansas,  Nebraska,  North  Dakota,  South  Dakota,  and  Texas  are 
not  shown  separately  in  the  report  of  the  census  of  1X90,  these  five  states  being

Immid  region  was  $4.07. 

3 E.xclusive  of  land  irrigated  for  rice  growing. 

The  average  cost  per  aci-e  based  on  the  acreage  irri- 
gated in  1909  was  $22.41;  that  based  on  the  acreage 
enterprises  were  capable  of  irrigating  in  1910  was 
$15.92;  and  that  based  on  the  estimated  total  cost 
and  the  acreage  included  in  projects  was  $13.04. 

Between  1889  and  1899  there  was  no  marked  increase 
in  the  average  cost  of  irrigation  enterprises  joer  acre  of 
land  irrigated,  but  in  1910  the  average  cost  per  acre  was 
very  much  higher.  The  chief  reason  for  this  is  the 
fact  that,  naturall}",  irrigation  enteiiorises  were  first 
undertaken  where  water  could  be  most  easily  secured 
and  engineering  difficulties  were  least  serious.  The 
enterprises  undertaken  during  more  recent  years  have 
been  of  necessity  on  a much  larger  scale  tlum  those  built 
formerly,  and,  in  most  cases,  of  a better  and  moi'e  per- 
manent tyjie  of  construction  Indeed,  much  of  the 
cost  incurred  between  1899  and  1910  was  for  the  im- 


lirovement  of  existing  works,  especially  by  the  addition 
of  reservoirs,  which  did  not  provide  water  for  new 
lands,  but  rather  provided  a better  supply  for  land 
already  irrigated.

The  highest  average  cost  per  acre  on  each  basis  is 
shown  for  the  United  States  Beclamation  Service  en- 
terprises, and  the  next  liighest  in  each  case  for  Carey 
Act  enterprises.  Irrigation  districts  ranked  third 
and  commercial  enterprises  fourth,  except  in  one 
case  where  the  order  is  reversed.  These  four  classes 
comprise  the  laige  enterprises  which  are  now  en- 
gaged in  developing  new  lauds,  and  most  of  their 
work  is  of  recent  date.  The  works  built  by  indi- 
\Tiduals  or  cooperative  enterprises,  which  are  smaller 
and  were  for  the  most  part  built  at  an  earlier  period, 
naturally  utilized  the  sources  from  which  water  could 
be  most  readily  diverted  and  transported  to  the  land 
to  be  irrigated.  The  larger  works  of  recent  date  serve 
land  farther  from  the  streams  and  involve  better,  more 
expensive,  and  more  permanent  construction,  and  as  a 
result  the  average  cost  per  acre  is  liigher  than  that  for 
the  small  works. 

Average  cost  per  acre,  by  size  groups. — The  average 
cost  of  irrigation  works  per  acre  for  enterprises  classi- 
fied by  size  is  shown  in  Table  1 4.  The  classification 
is  based  on  the  acreage  intended  ultimately  to  be 
irrigated. 

It  will  be  noted  that  in  general  the  cost  per  acre 
irrigated  increases  with  the  size  of  enterprises.  This 
condition  is  due  at  least  in  a considerable  measure  to 
the  fact  already  noted  that  most  of  the  larger  enter- 
prises, which  aie  mainly  of  recent  date,  have  had  to 
seek  water  more  difficult  to  obtain  than  that  secured 
by  the  smallei'  enterprises,  and  that  the}’  represent  a 
better  type  of  work.

Operation  and  maintenance. — Table  15  gives  the 
average  cost  per  acre  for  the  operation  and  mainte- 
nance of  irrigation  enterprises  in  1909.  The  inqniry 
as  to  this  item  was  not  extended  to  individual  fyid 
partnership  enterprises,  for  the  reason  that  farmers 
owning  their  own  ditches  usually  clean  and  repair  them 
at  odd  times  without  keeping  any  record  of  the  time 
or  money  expended.  In  the  case  of  some  enterprises 
of  other  classes,  no  reports  were  received.  The  sta- 
tistics for  cost  of  operation  reported  at  the  two  previous 
censuses,  for  various  reasons,  are  not  fairly  comparable 
with  those  for  1909,  and  consequently  are  not  shown 
in  the  table. 

For  the  arid  region  as  a whole,  the  average  cost  of 
operation  and  maintenance  per  acre  irrigated  was  $1 .07. 
The  abnormal  cost  shown  for  North  Dakota  ($28.40) 
relates  almost  entirely  to  a single  large  project  which 
supplied  water  in  1909  to  only  a small  part  of  the 
acreage  which  it  is  designed  to  serve.  The  lowest 
average  is  for  Oklahoma  ($0.51  per  acre).

CROPS. 


The  returns  of  crops  grown  on  irrigated  land,  which 
were  made  by  the  regular  enumerators  of  population 
and  agriculture,  are  somewhat  incomplete,  for  the 
reason  that,  owing  to  the  late  date  at  which  the  pro- 
visions of  law  regarding  the  irrigation  census  were 
passed,  the  enumerators  could  not  be  as  carefully 
instructed  regarding  the  special  irrigation  schedules  as 
regarding  the  regular  agricultural  schedules.  On 
many  of  the  schedules  the  agricultural  enumerators 
reported  land  as  irrigated  but  failed  to  return  sepa- 
ratel}’  the  crops  grown  on  such  land.  The  total  acre- 
age of  crops  reported  as  raised  on  irrigated  land 
formed  52.7  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  irrigated  in 
1909;  and  while  part  of  the  remainder  was  doubtless 
in  pasture,  it  is  evident  that  part  was  in  crops  not 
reported  as  grown  under  irrigation  and  a part  was 
probably  in  crops  not  harvested.  *\1  though  the  totals 
are  thus  incomplete,  the  returns  are  sufficiently  accu- 
rate to  afford  reliable  averages  of  yields  and  values  and 
to  show  the  relative  importance  of  the  various  crops. 

Table  16  gives,  by  states,  the  total  acreage  and  total 
value  of  crops  reported  as  irrigated  in  1909,  with  the 
average  value  per  acre.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


is  followed  by  that  for  Texas,  $45.43  (exclusive  of 
rice),  and  tliat  for  California,  $43.50.  Wyoming 
showed  the  lowest  average  value  per  acre,  $12.61.  As 
is  to  be  expected,  the  average  value  per  aci’e  is  higliest 
ill  the  states  witli  large  areas  of  fruits,  vegetables,  and 
other  s])ccialized  crops  raised  by  means  of  irrigation, 
while  in  those  where  forage  croj)s  and  grains  })redomi- 
nate  the  average  is  lower.  Fruit  crop.s  comprised 
about  12  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  of  irrigated  crops 
in  Washington  in  1909  and  about  21  per  cent  of  the 
total  in  California,  and  vegetables  and  otber  special 
ci’ops  about  21  per  cent  of  the  total  acreage  of  irri- 
gated crops  in  Texas,  exclusive  of  rice.  In  Wyoming, 
on  the  other  hand,  more  than  32  per  cent  of  the  total 
acreage  of  irrigated  crops  in  1909  was  in  wild  grass, 
and  irrigated  fruit  crops  were  insignificant. 

Table  17  shows  the  reported  acreage  and  value  of 
each  important  irrigated  crop  in  the  arid  region  as 
a whole,  with  the  percentage  of  the  total  represented 
by  each.

In  value  also  alfalfa  was  most  important,  represent- 
ing 28  per  cent  of  the  total  amount  reported;  but 
orchard  fruits  and  grapes  ranked  second  in  this 
respect  among  the  crops  shown  separately  and  trop- 
ical fruits  third,  notwithstanding  the  relatively  small 
acreages  in  these  crops.

For  each  of  the  crops  presented  in  the  table  except 
corn  and  “wild,  salt,  or  prairie  grasses,”  the  average 
yield  on  irrigated  land  exceeds  that  on  imirrigated 
land,  the  percentages  of  excess  ranging  from  18.7  for 
grains  cut  green  to  67.3  per  cent  for  wheat.  As  cli- 
matic conditions  in  the  arid  region  are  not  favorable 
to  corn,  it  is  not  grown  to  a large  extent  there.  In 
the  case  of  “wild,  salt,  or  prairie  grasses”  the  average 
yields  on  irrigated  and  unin’igated  land  are  practically 
equal.  A large  part  of  the  unirrigated  wild  grass 
is  cut.on  river  bottom  lands  where  the  soil  is  likely  to 
be  wet,  even  without  irrigation,  and  consequently  a 
difference  in  favor  of  irrigated  land  is  not  to  be 
expected. 

A combined  average  for  all  the  crops  listed  m Table 
18,  each  being  given  a weight  corresponding  to  its 
acreage,  shows  an  excess  yield  of  28.6  per  cent  for  the 
crops  grown  on  irrigated  land  over  those  grown  on 
imirrigated  land.  It  i.s,  of  course,  obvious  that  this 
difference  in  no  way  represents  the  advantage  of  irriga- 
tion over  nonirrigation.  In  some  sections  where  rain- 
fall is  plentiful  irrigation  would  add  little  to  the  yield, 
but  in  arid  sections  often  little  or  nothing  can  be  raised 
without  irrigation. 

Average  values  per  acre. — The  average  values  per 
acre  of  the  loading  irrigated  crops  reported  for  the 
arid  region  are  shown  in  Table  19  in  comparison  with 
averages  for  the  same  crojis  grown  on  imirrigated  land 
for  the  United  States  as  a whole,  so  far  as  acreage 
figures  are  available  for  these. 

Among  crops  grown  on  irrigated  land  in  1909, 
tropical  fruits  led  in  average  value  j)cr  acre  by  a wide 
margin,  orchard  fruits  and  grapes  ranking  second. 
Potatoes  followed  the  fruit  crops,  with  an  average 
value  of  $60.03,  and  sugar  beets  were  next  of  the 


IRRIGATION  AND  IRRIGATED  CROPS. 


431 


crops  shown  separately,  the  average  value  being 
$57.29  per  acre.  Alfalfa,  the  most  important  imgated 
crop,  had  an  average  value  per  acre  of  $22.94.  In  com- 
paring the  average  values  per  acre  for  different  crops 
it  should  bo  borne  in  mind  that  the  crops  with  higher 
average  values  often  require  more  expensive  methods 
of  cultivation  than  those  with  lower  average  values.

Each  of  the  crops  shown  in  the  table  for  wliich 
comparisons  are  made  had  a higher  average  value 
per  acre  for  irrigated  land  than  is  shown  for  the 
same  crop  grown  on  unirrigated  land  for  the  United 
States.  The  excess  in  favor  of  the  products  raised 
on  irrigated  land,  for  the  crops  included  in  the  com- 
parison, ranged  from  0.2  per  cent  for  grains  cut  green 
to  63.2  per  cent  for  oats.  The  average  excess  for  irri- 
gated crops  for  the  crops  for  which  comparative  figures 
are  given  in  the  table,  based  on  the  total  acreages  and 
total  values,  is  about  43  per  cent.  It  should  be  noted 
that  the  comparison  just  made  does  not  include  the 
crops  with  the  highest  average  values  per  acre,  such 
as  fruits  and  vegetables. 

Comparison  with  preceding  census. — According  to 
the  reports  of  the  Twelfth  Census  the  total  acreage 
of  irrigated  crops  in  the  arid  and  semiarid  states  was 
5,932,557,  while  the  acreage  of  such  crops  reported  at 
the  present  census  of  irrigation  was  7,241,561,  which 
represents  an  increase  of  22.1  per  cent.  The  fact  that 
this  increase  is  much  smaller  than  the  increase  in  the 
acreage  reported  as  irrigated  (82.7  per  cent)  is  a 

IRRIGATION  FO: 

As  previously  stated,  the  special  inquiry  into  irri- 
gation for  rice  growing  was  confined  to  the  rice 
growing  districts  of  Louisiana,  Texas,  and  Arkansas. 
The  data  collected,  except  those  relating  to  crops,  are 
summarized  in  Table  21. 

The  number  of  farms  reporting  irrigation  for  rice 
growing  and  the  acreage  irrigated,  as  reported  at  the 


further  indication  that  the  crop  reports  of  the  census 
of  irrigation  for  1910  are  incomplete.  Because  of  this 
incompleteness,  the  crop  figures  of  the  two  censuses 
are  not  compared  directly,  but  in  Table  20  the  per- 
centage wliich  the  acreage  in  each  irrigated  crop  formed 
of  the  total  acreage  reported  in  such  cro])s  is  shown  for 
the  two  censuses.

From  Table  20  it  appears  that  at  both  censuses 
alfalfa  was  the  leading  crop  grown  under  irrigation, 
but  that  it  occupied  a considerably  larger  proportion  of 
the  total  acreage  reported  for  irrigated  crops  in  1909 
than  in  1899.  The  crop  next  in  importance  in  re- 
spect to  acreage  in  both  years  was  “wild,  salt,  or 
prairie  grasses,  ” which  likewise  comprised  a larger  per- 
centage of  the  total  in  1909  than  in  1899.  Oats  was 
third  in  acreage  in  1909,  followed  by  wheat,  while  m 
1899  wheat  ranked  third  and  oats  fourth.  Oats 
covered  a much  larger  percentage  of  the  total  acreage 
of  irrigated  crops  in  1909  than  in  1899  and  wheat  a 
much  smaller  percentage  in  the  later  than  m the 
earlier  year. 

The  most  notable  relative  increase  was  for  sugar 
beets,  the  growing  of  this  crop  in  the  irrigated  region 
being  largely  a development  of  the  last  decade.  Pota- 
toes also  showed  a marked  increase  in  relative  im- 
portance. Tropical  and  subtropical  fruits  occupied 
about  the  same  place  in  the  two  censuses.  From  a 
comparison  of  Table  20  with  Table  19,  it  will  be  seen 
that,  with  the  exception  of  “wild,  salt,  or  prairie 
grasses,”  the  irrigated  crops  which  are  increasing  in 
acreage  most  rapidly  are  all  among  the  crops  with 
relatively  high  values  per  acre.

data  for  that  census  relate  to  the  year  1910.  The 
reports  of  the  agricultural  census  of  1910  show  that 
95.5  per  cent  of  the  entire  acreage  of  rice  harvested  in 
1909  was  in  the  three  states  included  in  the  special 
irrigation  inquiry,  and  that  in  all  the  other  states 
a marked  decrease  occurred  between  1899  and  1909

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— AGRICULTURE. 


ill  tiic  acreage  in  rice.  The  ligures  given  in  the  table 
for  tlie  census  of  1910  represent,  therefore,  in  a fairly 
adequate  measure,  the  extent  of  irrigation  for  rice 
growing  in  tlie  United  States. 

'The  acreage  rejiorted  on  the  special  irrigation  sched- 
ules as  inigated  for  rice  growing  in  1909  is  greater  than 
the  total  acreage  of  rice  reported  in  that  year  on  the 
agricultural  schedules  for  the  territory  covered.  This 
difference  is  due  principally  to  the  fact  that  the  irriga- 
tion schedules  show  the  total  acreage  watered,  while 
the  agricultural  schedules  show  only  the  acreage 
harvested.  A considerable  acreage  planted  in  rice  in 
1909  was  not  harvested  because  of  poor  stand,  short- 
age of  water,  and  damage  by  storms.

2 Based  on  acreage  included  in  projects. 


The  total  acreage  irrigated  for  rice  growing  in  the 
three  states  in  1909  was  694,800-,  of  which  54.7  per  cent 
was  in  Louisiana,  41.3  per  cent  in  Texas,  and  4 per  cent 
in  Arkansas.  The  enterprises  which  were  completed 
or  under  way  in  1910  were  reported  as  capable  of  irri- 
gating 950,706  acres  in  that  year  and  of  serving  ulti- 
mately a total  of  1,134,322  acres. 

The  total  cost  of  irrigation  enterprises  to  July  1, 
1910,  was  $13,587,639,  or  an  average  of  $14.29  per  acre 
for  the  land  to  which  they  were  capable  of  supplying 
water  in  1910.  Upon  the  basis  of  the  acreage  irrigated 
in  1909,  the  average  cost  per  acre  was  $19.56.  The 
estimated  total  cost  of  enterprises  completed  or  under 
way  in  1910  was  $13,667,639,  or  $12.05  per  acre  for  the 
land  included  in  these  enterprises.  From  these  figures 
it  appears  that  the  works  for  supplying  water  for  rice 
irrigation  which  were  under  construction  in  1910  were 
relatively  insignificant. 

In  the  report  on  irrigation  for  the  Twelfth  Census  no 
information  relating  t o the  irrigation  of  rice  in  Arkan- 


sas is  given,  because  the  rice  growing  industry  in  that 
state  was  insignificant  in  1900. 

In  Table  22  comparisons  are  made  for  Louisiana 
ami  Texas  for  the  few  items  that  were  reported  at 
both  censuses.  The  figures  for  the  Twelfth  Census 
relate  to  the  year  1899.

In  Louisiana  considerable  increases  have  taken 
place  since  the  census  of  1900  in  all  the  items  shown 
in  the  table  except  number  of  farms.  The  large  de- 
crease in  the  number  of  farms  reporting  the  Erigation 
of  rice  is  probably  due  to  the  abandonment  of  rice 
growing  on  farms  where  only  small  acreages  were 
planted,  and  an  extension  of  the  mdustry  in  sections 
where  rice  is  grown  on  a larger  scale.  In  Texas  al- 
most the  entire  development  has  taken  place  since 
1899. 

As  the  figures  for  average  cost  of  Erigation  enter- 
prises per  acre  at  the  two  censuses  are  not  computed 
on  the  same  basis,  they  are  not  comparable. 

Although  the  crop  returns  for  irrigated  rice  are  not 
complete,  they  are  sufficiently  so  to  afford  reliable 
averages  of  the  yield  and  value  per  acre.  These  are 
shown  in  Table  23.

used  for  a longer  time  than  in  other  sections,  show  the 
lowest  average  yield,  while  Arkansas,  where  the  grow- 
ing of  rice  is  of  comparatively  recent  date,  shows  the

Chapter  15. 

STATISTICS  OF  MANUFACTURES  FOR  STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  contains  a summary  of 
the  statistics  of  manufactures  for  the  United  States 
for  the  calendar  year  1909,  as  shown  by  the  Thirteenth 
Census. 

The  principal  facts  derived  from  the  census  inquiry 
are  presented  in  four  general  tables  at  the  end  of  the 
chapter,  the  first  giving  statistics  for  individual  indus- 
tries, the  second  for  states  and  territories,  the  third 
for  each  of  the  25  leading  manufacturing  cities,  and 
the  fourth  for  each  city  of  10,000  or  more  inhabitants. 

Table  110  gives  for  each  industry  in  1909, 1904,  and 
1899  the  number  of  establishments;  number  of  per- 
sons engaged  in  the  industry  during  the  year,  classified 
as  proprietors  and  firm  members,  salaried  employees, 
and  wage  earners;  primary  power;  capital;  salaries; 
wages;  cost  of  materials;  value  of  products;  value 
added  by  manufacture;  and  the  percentage  of  increase 
in  average  number  of  wage  earners  and  in  value  of 
products,  from  census  to  census.  The  industries  are 
arranged  alphabetically. 

Table  111  gives  similar  statistics  for  the  different 
states  and  territories,  arranged  geographically. 

Table  112  gives  for  each  of  the  25  leading  manu- 
facturing cities  the  same  items  given  in  Tables  110  and 
111;  the  cities  are  arranged  according  to  the  value  of 
their  manufactured  products. 

Table  113  gives,  for  each  city  of  10,000  or  more 
inhabitants,  the  number  of  estabhshments,  the  average 
number  of  wage  earners,  the  value  of  products,  and  the 
value  added  by  manufacture  for  1909,  1904,  and  1899. 
The  cities  are  arranged  alphabetically  by  states. 

In  addition  to  these  general  tables  there  are  inter- 
spersed in  the  text  discussion  a series  of  special  text 
tables  analyzing  certain  of  the  data  contained  in  the 
general  tables.  Some  of  these  special  text  tables  pre- 
sent figures  only  for  all  industries  combined  in  conti- 
nental United  States  as  a whole;  others  give  statistics 
for  the  principal  industries  separately;  and  still  others 
give  figures  for  states  and  territories. 

Scope  ol  census:  Factory  industries. — Census  statistics  of  manu- 
factures are  compiled  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  showing  the 
absolute  and  relative  magnitude  of  the  different  branches  of 
industry  covered  and  their  growth  or  decline.  Incidentally,  the 
effort  is  made  to  present  data  throwing  light  upon  character  of 
organization,  location  of  establishments,  size  of  establishments, 
labor  force,  and  similar  subjects.  When  use  is  made  of  the  data  for 
these  purposes  it  is  imperative  that  due  attention  should  be  given 


to  the  limitations  of  the  figures.  Particularly  is  this  true  when  the 
attempt  is  made  to  derive  from  them  figures  purporting  to  show 
average  wages,  cost  of  production,  or  profits. 

The  census  of  1909,  like  that  of  1904,  was  confined  to  manufac- 
turing establishments  conducted  under  the  factory  system,  as 
distinguished  from  the  neighborhood,  hand,  and  building  indus- 
tries. Where  statistics  for  1899  are  given  they  have  been  reduced 
to  a comparable  basis  by  eliminating,  as  far  as  possible,  the  latter 
classes  of  industries.  The  census  does  not  include  establishments 
which  were  idle  during  the  entire  year,  or  had  a value  of  products 
of  less  than  $500,  or  the  manufacturing  done  in  educational,  elee- 
mosynary, and  penal  institutions,  or  in  governmental  establish- 
ments, except  those  of  the  Federal  Government. 

Period  covered. — The  returns  cover  the  calendar  year  1909,  or 
the  business  year  which  corresponds  most  nearly  to  that  calendar 
year.  The  statistics  cover  a year’s  operations,  except  for  estab- 
lishments which  began  or  discontinued  business  during  the  year. 

The  establishment. — Asa  rule,  the  term  “establishment”  rep- 
resents a separated  plant  or  mill.  In  some  cases  it  represents  two 
or  more  plants  operated  under  a common  ownership  or  for  which 
one  set  of  books  of  account  is  kept. 

If  the  plants  constituting  an  establishment  as  thus  defined 
were  not  all  located  within  the  same  city  or  state,  separate 
reports  were  secured  in  order  that  the  separate  totals  might  be 
included  in  the  statistics  for  each  city  or  state.  In  some  instances 
separate  reports  were  secured  for  different  industries  carried  on  in 
the  same  establishment. 

Classification  by  industries. — The  establishments  were  assigned 
to  the  several  classes  of  industries  according  to  their  products  of  chief 
value.  The  value  of  products  reported  for  a given  industry  may 
thus,  on  the  one  hand,  include  minor  products  very  different  from 
those  covered  by  the  class  designation,  and,  on  the  other  hand,  may 
not  include  the  total  product  covered  by  this  designation,  because 
some  part  of  this  product  may  be  made  in  establishments  in  which 
it  is  not  the  product  of  chief  value. 

The  number  of  industries  for  which  a separate  presentation  is 
made  is  264,  a much  smaller  number  than  in  the  reports  for  the  cen- 
sus of  1904,  in  which  339  industries  were  shown  separately.  This 
decrease  is  due  to  the  fact  that  an  attempt  to  make  a separate 
presentation  would  in  the  case  of  many  industries  be  misleading, 
inasmuch  as  a large  part  of  the  product  of  the  class  described  by  the 
industry  designation  is  made,  not  by  establishments  engaged 
primarily  in  manufacturing  that  class  of  commodities,  but  by 
establishments  whose  principal  product  is  such  as  to  necessitate 
their  classification  elsewhere.  In  order  to  avoid  this  difficulty  it  is 
necessary  in  many  cases  to  combine  a number  of  closely  related 
industries  under  a more  general  designation.  This  condition  is 
constantly  becoming  more  conspicuous  in  the  manufacturing 
business  of  the  country,  and  consequently  the  number  of  industries 
which  can  properly  be  shown  separately  is  smaller  at  this  census 
than  at  previous  censuses. 

Owing  to  changes  in  industrial  conditions,  moreover,  it  is  not 
always  possible  to  classify  establishments  by  industries  in  such  a 
way  as  to  permit  accurate  comparison  with  preceding  censuses,  and 
for  some  of  the  industries  covered  by  Table  110,  therefore,  compara- 
tive statistics  for  earlier  censuses  are  necessarily  omitted.

The  total  value  of  manufactures  in  the  area  covered 
by  this  table  for  1909  was  $20,767,-546,000,  of  which 
99.5  per  cent  was  contributed  by  continental  United 
States,  the  manufactures  of  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and  Porto 
Rico  being  comparatively  unimportant.  The  most 
important  industry  in  Alaska  is  the  canning  and  pre- 
serving of  fish;  in  Hawaii,  the  manufacture  of  sugar; 
and  in  Porto  Rico,  the  manufacture  of  sugar  and  of 
tobacco  products. 

The  above  table  is  the  only  one  in  this  report  in 
wliich  the  statistics  for  the  noncontiguous  territories 
are  included,  all  the  other  tables  relating  exclusively 
to  continental  United  States. 

Explanation  of  terms. — With  reference  to  some  of 
the  items  contained  in  the  above  and  following  tables 
certain  explanations  arc  necessary: 

Persons  engaged  in  manufacturing  industries.— The  statistics  of 
the  number  of  proprietors  and  firm  members  and  the  number  of  sal- 
aried employees  are  based  on  the  returns  for  a single  representa- 
tive day  only.  In  the  case  of  wage  earners  a report  was  obtained 
of  the  number  employed  on  the  1.5th  of  each  month,  and  from  these 
returns  the  average  number  employed  during  the  year  has  been 
calculated  by  dividing  the  sum  of  the  numbers  reported  for  the 
several  months  by  12.  (See  also  p.  452.) 

Capital. — For  reasons  stated  in  reports  of  prior  censuses  the  statis- 
tics of  capital  secured  by  the  census  canvass  are  so  defective  as 
to  be  of  little  value,  except  as  indicating  very  general  conditions. 
The  instructions  on  the  schedule  for  securing  capital  were  as  follows: 

The  answer  should  show  the  total  amount  of  capital,  both  owned 
and  borrowed,  on  the  last  day  of  the  business  year  reported.  All 


the  items  of  fixed  and  live  capital  may  be  taken  at  the  amounts 
carried  on  the  books.  If  land  or  buildings  are  rented,  that  fact 
should  be  stated  and  no  value  given.  If  a part  of  the  land  or  build- 
ings is  owned,  the  remainder  being  rented,  that  fact  should  be  so 
stated  and  onlj?  the  value  of  the  owne<l  property  given.  Do  not 
include  securities  and  loans  representing  investments  in  other 
enterprises. 

Materials. — The  statistics  as  to  cost  of  materials  relate  to  the  mate- 
rials used  during  the  year,  which  may  be  more  or  less  than  the 
materials  purchased  during  the  year.  The  term  “materials”  in- 
cludes fuel,  rent  of  power  and  heat,  mill  supplies,  and  containers, 
as  well  as  materials  forming  a constituent  part  of  the  product. 
Under  the  head  of  “fuel”  is  included  all  fuel  used,  whether  for 
heat,  light,  or  power,  or  for  the  process  of  manufacture. 

Expenses. — Under  “Expenses”  are  included  all  items  of  expense 
incident  to  the  year’s  business,  except  interest,  whether  on  bonds 
or  other  forms  of  indebtedness,  and  allowances  for  depreciation. 

Value  of  products. — The  amounts  given  under  this  head  represent 
the  selling  value  at  the  factory  of  all  products  manufactured  during 
the  year,  which  may  differ  from  the  value  of  the  products  sold. 
Amounts  recei^■ed  for  work  on  materials  furnished  by  others  are 
included. 

Cost  of  manufacture  and  profits. — Census  data  do  not  show  the 
entire  cost  of  manufacture,  and  consequently  can  not  be  used  to 
show  profits.  No  account  has  been  taken  of  interest  and  depre- 
ciation. Even  if  the  amount  of  profit  could  be  determined  by 
deducting  the  expenses  from  the  value  of  the  products  the  rate  of 
profit  on  the  investment  could  not  properly  be  calculated,  because 
of  the  very  defective  character  of  the  returns  regarding  capital. 

Primary  horsepower. — This  item  i-epresents  the  total  primary 
power  generated  by  the  manufacturing  establishments  plus  the 
amount  of  power,  principally  electric,  rented  by  them  from  other 
concerns.  It  does  not  cover  the  electric  power  developed  by  the 
primary  power  of  the  establishments  them.selves,  the  inclusion  of 
which  would  evidently  result  in  duplication.

‘ Figures  not  available. 


In  1909  the  United  States  had  268,491  manufactur- 
ing establishments,  which  gave  employment  during 
the  year  to  an  average  of  7,678,578  persons,  of  whom 
6,615,046  were  wage  earners.  These  manufacturing 
establishments  paid  $4,365,613,000  in  salaries  and 
wages,  and  turned  out  products  to  the  value  of 
$20,672,052,000,  to  produce  which  materials  costing 
$12,142,791,000  were  consumed.  The  value  added 
by  manufacture,  namely,  the  difference  between  the 
cost  of  materials  and  the  total  value  of  products,  was 
$8,529,261,000.  This  figure  best  represents  the  net 
wealth  created  by  manufacturmg  operations,  because 
the  gross  value  of  products  includes  the  cost  of  the 
materials  used,  wliich  are  either  the  products  of  non- 
manufacturing industries,  such  as  agriculture,  for- 
estry, fisheries,  and  mining,  or  else  are  themselves  the 
product  of  manufacturing  establishments.  The  value 
of  products  derived  from  this  latter  class  of  materials 
involves  a duplication,  inasmuch  as  the  value  of 
these  materials  has  already  figured  in  the  value  of 
products  reported  for  the  establishments  manufac- 
turing them  in  the  fii’st  instance;  in  some  cases,  indeed, 
where  a given  product  has  passed  through  several 
distinct  stages  of  manufacture  in  difi'erent  establish- 
ments before  reaching  its  final  form,  this  duplication 
may  be  repeated  several  times.  All  such  du])lica- 
tions,  as  well  as  the  original  value  of  materials,  are, 
however,  eliminated  in  the  figures  for  value  added  by 
manufacture.  This  value  covers  salaries  and  wages — 
which  represent  over  one-half  of  the  total — overhead 
charges,  depreciation,  interest,  taxes,  and  other  ex- 
penses attendant  ui)on  the  manufacturing  oi)erations, 
as  well  as  the  profits  of  the  undertaking. 

Table  2 shows  that  the  manufacturing  industries 
of  the  United  States  as  a whole  experienced  a more 
rapid  growth  during  the  five-year  period  1904-1909 


than  during  the  period  1899-1904,  although  in  both 
periods  the  progress  was  very  marked.  During  the 
first  five  years  of  the  decade  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  increased  16  per  cent;  during  the  sec- 
ond five  years,  21  per  cent.  The  value  of  products 
increased  29.7  per  cent  during  the  first  period  and  39.7 
per  cent  during  the  second  period.  The  rate  of  in- 
crease in  the  value  added  by  manufacture  shows  less 
difference  between  the  two  periods,  being  30.3  per  cent 
during  the  first  five  years  and  35.5  per  cent  during  the 
second  five  years.  In  this  connection  it  may  be  noted 
that  there  was  a greater  rate  of  increase  in  the  cost  of 
materials  during  the  second  period  than  during  the 
fimt. 

During  the  10  years  from  1899  to  1909  the  number 
of  establishments  increased  29.4  per  cent;  the  capital 
employed,  105.3  per  cent;  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners,  40.4  per  cent;  the  amount  of  primary 
power,  84.9  per  cent;  the  value  of  materials  con- 
sumed, 84.7  per  cent;  the  value  of  products,  81.2  per 
cent;  and  the  value  added  by  manufacture,  76.6  per 
cent.  The  gross  value  of  products  in  1909  exceeded 
that  in  1899  by  more  than  $9,000,000,000,  and  the 
value  added  by  manufacture  in  1909  was,  in  round 
numbers,  $3,700,000,000  more  than  in  1899. 

It  would  be  improper  to  infer  that  manufactures 
increased  in  volume  during  either  of  the  five-year 
periods  covered  by  tire  table  to  tire  full  extent  indi- 
cated by  the  increase  in  value  of  materials  consumed 
or  in  the  value  of  products,  since  the  increase  shown 
in  these  items  is  certainly  due  in  part  to  the  increase 
that  has  taken  jrlace  in  the  price  of  commodities. 
It  may  be  presumed  that  the  quantity  of  products 
increased  somewhat  more  rapidly  than  the  number 
of  wage  earners;  this  might  be  expected  from  the 
fact  that  the  amount  of  [rrimary  (rower  increased 
I much  faster  than  the  number  of  wage  earners  ; in 


STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES.

other  words,  each  wage  earner,  on  the  average,  had 
greater  assistance  from  mechanical  power  in  1909  than 
in  1904  or  1899. 

It  is  a matter  of  interest  to  note  that  during  both  of 
the  five-year  periods  the  wages  paid  showed  a higher 
percentage  of  increase  than  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners,  thus  indicating  an  increase  in  the  aver- 
age wages. 

Comparison  with  earlier  censuses. — In  1810  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Treasury  made  a report  on  the  condition 
of  manufactures  in  the  United  States  and  estimated 
that  the  value  of  products  for  1809  exceeded 
$120,000,000.  An  estimate  based  on  the  returns  of  the 
census  of  1810  placed  the  value  of  the  annual  product 
at  $198,613,471.  Further  efforts  to  secure  statistics 
of  manufactures  were  made  in  1820  and  1840,  but  the 
results  were  more  or  less  unsatisfactory.  In  1830  no 
such  attempt  was  made.  The  census  of  1850  was  the 
first  to  present  fairly  complete  statistics  for  manufac- 
tures. Each  census  from  that  time  to  1890  was  based 
in  part  on  returns  for  the  preceding  calendar  year  and 
in  part  on  returns  for  other  12-month  periods,  mainly 
ending  during  the  census  year  itself.  The  last  three 
censuses  cover  principally  returns  for  the  preceding 
calendar  year  or  for  12-month  periods  ending  within 
that  year.  In  general,  in  tliis  report  the  statistics 
for  all  censuses  are  referred  to  by  the  year  preceding 
that  in  which  the  census  was  taken. 


The  statistics  of  manufactures  secured  at  the  de- 
cennial censuses  from  1850  to  1900,  inclusive,  covered 
the  neighborhood,  hand,  and  building  industries,  as 
well  as  the  factory  industries,  while  the  reports 
for  1904  and  1909  were  confined  to  factory  industries. 
The  statistics  for  1899  obtained  at  the  decennial  cen- 
sus of  1900,  although  originally  taken  on  the  broader 
basis,  have,  for  the  purpose  of  comparison  with  later 
censuses,  been  reduced  to  the  factory  basis  by  elimi- 
nating as  far  as  possible  the  neighborhood,  hand,  and 
building  trades,  but  no  such  elimination  is  possible 
with  respect  to  the  earlier  censuses.  For  this  reason 
the  statistics  for  years  prior  to  1899  are  not  entirely 
comparable  with  those  for  1904  and  1909.  Never- 
theless, for  the  purpose  of  showing  in  a rough  way 
the  movement  during  each  decade  since  1850,  the 
following  summary  table  is  presented.  Two  sets  of 
figures  are  given  in  this  table  for  1899,  the  one  includ- 
ing the  neighborhood,  hand,  and  building  trades,  in 
order  to  make  the  data  comparable  with  those  for  pre- 
ceding censuses,  and  the  other  excluding  them  in 
order  to  make  the  figures  comparable  with  those  for 
later  censuses.  The  values  and  wages  for  1869  have 
been  reduced  to  a gold  basis,  inasmuch  as  the  figures 
as  reported  would,  because  of  the  inflation  of  the 
currency  at  that  time,  exaggerate  the  increase  from 
1859  to  1869,  and  understate  the  increase  from  1869 
to  1879.

This  table  shows  that,  although  the  returns  for  1849 
included  neighborhood,  hand,  and  building  trades  and 
those  for  1909  did  not,  nevertheless  the  value  of  prod- 
ucts in  the  latter  year  was  over  twenty  times  as 
great  as  the  value  reported  60  years  before.  During 
the  same  time  the  number  of  wage  earners  employed 
increased  almost  sixfold. 

As  judged  by  the  number  of  wage  earners,  the  decade 
showing  the  greatest  percentage  of  increase  was  that 
from  1859  to  1869,  during  which  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  increased  56.6  per  cent.  The  decade  1879 


to  1889  also  showed  an  exceptionally  high  percentage 
of  increase  in  this  respect,  while  the  next  largest  per- 
centage of  increase  occurred  during  the  decade  from 
1899  to  1909.  As  respects  value  of  products,  the  per- 
centage of  increase  during  the  past  decade  exceeds  that 
in  any  other  except  the  decade  from  1849  to  1859 ; but  in 
value  added  by  manufacture,  the  percentage  of  increase 
during  the  past  10  years  falls  below  that  from  1879  to 
1889,  as  well  as  that  from  1849  to  1859.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


were  mucli  greater  tlian  during  any  other  decade;  tlie 
increase  in  value  of  products,  in  fact,  almost  equaled 
the  total  value  of  all  manufactured  products  in  1889. 

Leading  industries. --The  relative  importance  of  the 
leading  manufacturing  industries  in  the  United  States 
in  1909  and  their  growth  from  1899  to  1909  are 
shown  in  Table  4,  which  includes  the  industries  leav- 
ing a gross  value  of  products  in  1909  of  $100,000,000 
or  more.  'Phc  industries  are  arranged  in  the  order 
of  the  value  of  ])roducts.  The  table  also  shows  the 
rank  of  the  industries  listed,  not  only  with  respect  to 
value  of  products,  hut  witli  respect  to  number  of  wage 
earners  employed  and  value  added  by  manufacture, 
and  the  percentage  of  the  total  of  each  of  these  items 
for  all  industries  combined  which  is  represented  by 
each  specified  industry.  While  the  column  of  rank 
under  “Value  of  products”  represents  correctly  the 
order  of  the  industries  named  among  all  the  industries 
of  the  country,  the  ranking  shown  with  reference  to 
number  of  wage  earners  and  value  added  by  manufac- 
ture relates  only  to  the  relative  order  of  the  industries 
covered  by  this  particular  table.  There  are  various 
industries  not  named  which  rank  higher  in  these 
respects  than  some  of  the  industries  listed  in  the 
table. 

The  number  of  wage  earners  and  the  value  added 
by  manufacture  are,  at  least  from  certain  standpoints, 
a better  measure  of  the  relative  importance  of  manufac- 
turing industries  than  the  gross  value  of  products.  In 
some  industries  the  value  of  the  materials  used  consti- 
tutes by  far  the  larger  part  of  the  total  value  of  products, 
the  manufacturing  process  involving  the  addition  of 
only  a small  amount  of  labor  cost  and  other  expenses 
and  of  manufacturer’s  profit  to  the  cost  of  the  materials. 
Moreover,  in  some  of  the  industries  tliere  is  a much 
gi’eater  duplication  in  the  gross  value  of  products  than 
in  others.  This  duplication,  of  course,  does  not 
appear  in  the  value  added  by  manufacture. 

In  considering  the  ranking  of  the  industries  in 
Table  4,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  some  of 
the  industries  specified  are  in  a sense  groups  of  in- 
dustries rather  than  single  industries.  As  stated  in 
the  Introduction,  in  certain  cases,  in  order  to  avoid 
a misleading  understatement  of  the  importance  of  the 
production  of  a given  minor  class  of  commodities,  the 
returns  for  establishments  making  these  commoditie,s 
as  their  sole  or  principal  product  have  had  to  be  com- 
bined with  those  of  establishments  in  larger  indus- 
tries which  produce  primarily  other  commodities,  but 
which  incidentally  make  a large  ])art  of  the  distinctive 
products  in  question.  In  a few  instances  where  a 
similar  condition  exists,  however,  it  was  deemed  best 
not  to  make  such  a combination  of  industries.  As  also 
stated  in  the  Introduction,  the  rejjort  for  each  estab- 
lishment, as  a whole,  has  been  assigned  to  a given 
class  of  indusfry  according  to  its  ])roducts  of  chief 
value,  so  that  the.  figures  for  any  given  class  must 
not  be  taken  either  as  fully  covering  or  as  re])resent- 


ing exclusively  the  operations  of  that  branch  of  man- 
ufacturing indicated  by  the  industry  designation. 

The  following  ex])lanations  show  the  scope  of  those 
classifications  in  the  table  which  are  not  on  their  face 
entirely  clear: 

Slaughtering  and  meat  packing. — This  classification 
includes  the  wholesale  slaughtering  and  meat-pack- 
ing establishments  and  those  engaged  in  the  manu- 
facture of  sausage,  but  not  the  numerous  retail 
butcher  shops  which  in  the  aggregate  slaughter  a large 
number  of  animals.  It  includes  the  manufacture  of 
many  by-products,  some  of  which  are  carried  to  a 
high  degree  of  elaboration. 

Foundry  and  machine-shop  products. — This  industrv’’ 
includes  all  allied  industries  excepting  those  which 
manufacture  a distinctive  product  indicated  by  some 
other  classification,  such  as  cash  registers,  calculating 
machines,  sewing  machines,  and  electrical  machinery. 
The  establishments  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of 
bells,  gas  machines  and  gas  and  water  meters,  hard- 
ware, plumbei-s’  supplies,  saddlery  hardware,  steam 
fittings,  structural  ironwork,  and  cast-iron  and  cast- 
steel  pipe,  some  of  which  were  reported  under  separate 
classifications  at  previous  censuses,  are  all  included 
under  this  general  heading. 

Lumber  and  timber  products. — This  industry  em- 
braces logging  operations,  ordinary  sawmills,  planing 
mills,  and  establishments  engaged  in  the  manufacture 
of  wooden  pacldng  boxes.  It  does  not  include  sta- 
tistics of  mills  engaged  exclusively  in  custom  sawing 
for  local  consumption. 

Iron  and  steel,  steel  works  and  rolling  mills. — This 
industry  embraces  the  manufacture  of  steel  and  the 
hot  rolling  of  iron  and  steel.  It  also  includes  the  mak- 
ing of  forgings  and  castings  and  the  maiiufacture  of 
rolled  iron  and  steel  into  more  highly  finished  forms 
when  conducted  as  a part  of  the  rolling-mill  operations, 
as  well  as  the  few  extant  forges  and  bloomeries.  It 
does  not,  however,  include  the  making  of  cold-rolled 
products,  nor  of  forgings,  castings,  and  manufactures 
of  iron  and  steel  by  establishments  not  equi])ped  vith 
steel-making  furnaces  or  hot  trains  of  rolls. 

Flour-mill  and  gristmill  products. — This  classifica- 
tion includes  statistics  for  all  mills  grinding  wheat, 
rye,  or  buckwheat  flour,  or  corn  meal,  hominy,  grits, 
or  feed,  but  it  does  not  include  statistics  for  mills  doing 
custom  gi’inding  exclusively,  or  for  factories  making 
fancy  cereal  food  or  other  special  food  ])rej)arations  as  a 
chief  product. 

Printing  and  publishing. — This  classification  in- 
cludes job-printing  establishments,  the  ])rinting  and 
publishing  of  books,  nowspa])ers  and  periodicals, 
and  music,  bookbinding,  steel  engraving,  and  litho- 
graphing. 

Cotton  goods,  includiny  cotton  small  wares. — In  addi- 
tion to  the  statistics  for  cotton  mills  proper,  there  are 
included  under  this  head  the  statistics  for  establish- 
ments that  make  a specialty  of  small  wares,  such  ns 


STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES.

braids,  taj)e>s,  l)indings,  corset  and  shoe  laces,  and  the 
like. 

Clothing,  men’s,  including  shirts. — This  classification 
includes  the  making  of  men’s  and  boys’  ready-made 
clothing;  the  making  of  overalls,  butchers’  aprons, 
bathirig  suits,  and  gymnasium  clothing;  and  the  manu- 
facture of  all  kinds  of  shirts — cotton,  linen,  flannel, 
etc. — as  well  as  shirt  bosoms  and  shirt  waists  for  men 
and  boys. 

Boots  and  shoes,  including  cut  stoch  and  findings. — 
Under  this  head  are  included  not  only  factories  making 
the  finished  product,  but  those  doing  the  whole  or 
part  of  the  work  on  materials  furnished  by  others,  as 
well  as  shops  doing  stitching,  crimping,  fitting,  and 
bottoming,  or  performing  other  special  operations. 
The  manufacture  of  footwear  not  coming  strictly 
under  the  head  of  boots  and  shoes,  such  as  overgaiters, 
moccasins,  and  leggings,  is  also  covered  by  this  desig- 
nation. It  does  not  include  the  manufacture  of  rub- 
ber boots  and  shoes. 

Clothing,  women’s. — Besides  the  making  of  suits, 
dresses,  skirts,  and  shirt  waists,  this  industry  includes 
the  manufacture  of  women’s  underwear  and  night 
robes,  of  infants’  clothing,  and  of  such  articles  as 
aprons,  linings,  belts,  dress  shields,  and  hose  sup- 
porters. 

Sugar  and  molasses,  not  including  beet  sugar. — 
Under  this  classification  are  included  the  manufacture 
of  sugar  and  of  some  by-products  of  the  sugar  indus- 
try, such  as  molasses  and  sirup,  and  also  the  opera- 
tions of  sugar  refineries,  together  with  the  manufacture 
of  maple  sugar.  It  does  not,  however,  include  the 
small  plantation  or  custom  sugar  mills. 

Furniture  and  refrigerators. — This  industry  embraces 
the  manufacture  of  wood  and  metal  furniture  of  all 
kinds,  store  and  office  fixtures,  and  refrigerators  and 
ice  boxes,  except  where  such  products  are  provided  for 
by  a distinct  classification,  such  as  show  cases. 

Copper,  tin,  and  sheet-iron  products. — This  classifica- 
tion comprises  the  manufacture  of  sheet-metal  prod- 
ucts of  copper,  tin,  and  iron,  including  the  prepa- 
ration of  copper,  tin,  or  sheet-iron  material  for  build- 
ing construction.  It  includes  the  factory  work  on 
cornices,  skylights,  roofmg,  etc.,  but  does  not  include 
the  erection  or  installation  of  the  same. 

Canning  and  preserving. — Tliis  industry  includes  the 
canning  and  preserving  of  fruits  and  vegetables,  fish, 
oysters,  clams,  etc.,  and  the  manufacture  of  pickles, 
preserves,  jellies,  sauces,  etc.  It  includes  the  prepara- 
tion of  pickled,  smoked,  and  dried  fish,  and  the  packing 
of  dried  fruits  by  packing  houses  which  make  a spe- 
cialty of  such  business,  but  does  not  include  the 
drving  and  packing  of  fruits  by  the  grower  on  the  farm, 
nor  does  it  include  the  canning  of  meats,  soups,  and 
similar  products  in  meat-packing  establishments,  the 
statistics  for  which  are  included  with  those  for  the 
slaughtering  and  meat-packing  industry. 


Patent  medicines  and  compounds  and  druggists’ 
preparations. — Under  this  liead  are  included  establish- 
ments making  so-called  patent  medicines,  and  also 
some  compounds  that  are  not  used  for  medicinal  pur- 
poses, and  the  manufacture  of  capsules,  extracts, 
tinctures,  and  other  pharmaceutical  preparations,  to- 
gether with  perfumery  and  cosmetics. 

Chemicals. — This  classification  includes  establish- 
ments engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  acids, 
sodas,  potashes,  alums,  coal-tar  products,  cyanides, 
bleaching  materials,  plastics,  compressed  or  liquefied 
gases,  alkaloids,  gold,  silver,  and  platinum  salts, 
chloroform,  ether,  and  other  fine  chemicals,  glycerin, 
epsom  salts,  copperas,  blue  vitriol,  and  other  bases  and 
salts,  when  they  are  made  as  a chief  product  by  the 
establishment  reporting.  Chemical  substances  pro- 
duced by  the  aid  of  electricity  are  presented  in  a 
group  by  themselves.  Chemicals  of  the  class  above 
specified  are  frequently  manufactured  as  by-products 
by  establishments  classified  in  the  census  reports  under 
a different  head,  for  example,  by  establishments  making 
patent  medicines  and  compounds  and  druggists’  prepa- 
rations, soap,  fertilizers,  baking  powders,  and  flavoring 
extracts ; by  refiners  of  coal  tar  for  use  as  roofing  ma- 
terial; by  smelters  and  refiners  of  lead  and  zinc;  and 
by  establishments  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  sul- 
phuric, nitric,  and  mixed  acids  and  of  explosives,  in 
wood  distillation,  and  in  making  tin  and  terne  plate. 

It  will  be  seen  from  Table  4 that  some  of  the  indus- 
tries that  hold  a very  high  rank  in  gross  value  of  prod- 
ucts rank  comparatively  low  in  the  number  of  wage 
earners  employed  and  in  the  value  added  by  manu- 
facture. Wliere  this  is  the  case  it  indicates  that  the 
cost  of  materials  represents  a large  proportion  of  the 
total  value  of  products,  and  that  therefore  the  value 
added  by  manufacture,  of  which  wages  constitute 
usually  the  largest  item,  is  not  commensurate  with 
the  total  value  of  products.  Thus  the  slaughtering 
and  meat-packing  industry,  which  ranks  fii-st  in  gross 
value  of  products,  and  the  flour-mill  and  gristmill  in- 
dustry, which  ranks  fifth  in  that  respect,  both  hold 
a comparatively  low  rank  with  regard  to  number  of 
wage  earners  and  value  added  by  manufacture.  The 
blast-furnace  industry,  the  smelting  and  refinhig  of 
copper,  the  manufacture  and  refining  of  sugar  and  mo- 
lasses, the  manufacture  of  butter,  cheese,  and  con- 
densed milk,  the  refining  of  petroleum,  and  the  smelt- 
ing and  refining  of  lead  are  other  industries  which 
rank  much  higher  in  gross  value  of  products  than  in 
the  number  of  wage  earners  or  the  value  added  by 
manufacture. 

There  are  several  industries  the  rank  of  which 
according  to  the  number  of  wage  earners  and  the  value 
added  by  manufacture  is  decidedly  liigher  than  the 
rank  according  to  value  of  products;  in  other  words, 
the  cost  of  materials  is  relatively  a smaller  part  of  the 
total  value  of  products  for  these  industries  than  for 


442 


ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES 


most  others.  Amonji;  tlie  industries  of  tliis  class  are 
the  making  of  wojiien’s  clothing,  the  manufacture  of 
automobiles,  furniture,  electrical  machinery,  apparatus, 
and  supplies,  hosiery  and  knit  goods,  silk  goods,  and 
agricultural  implements,  and  the  confectionery  and 
marble  and  stone  work  industries. 

The  foundry  and  macliine-shop  industry,  the  lum- 
ber industry,  the  steel  works  and  rolling  mills,  the 
printing  and  pubhshing  industry,  the  manufacture  of 
cotton  goods,  of  men’s  clothing,  and  of  boots  and  shoes 
all  rank  among  the  first  10  industries  in  the  table  on 


each  of  the  three  bases  shown  in  the  table.  The  fig- 
ures for  both  value  of  products  and  value  added  by 
manufacture  in  the  case  of  the  brewery  and  distillery 
industries  include  a very  large  amount  of  tax  paid  to 
the  F ederal  Government,  and  are  therefore  misleading 
as  an  indication  of  the  relative  importance  of  these 
industries  from  a purely  manufacturing  standpoint. 
That  importance  is  best  shown  by  their  ranking  in 
number  of  wage  earners;  in  this  respect  the  brewery  in- 
dustry ranks  twenty-fifth  among  the  industries  listed, 
and  the  distillery  industry  forty-third.

the  period  1904  to  1909;  and  the  blast-furnace  indus-

By  far  the  highest  percentages  of  increase  are  shown 
for  the  automobile  industry,  the  gross  value  of  products 
of  wliich  increased  more  than  sevenfold  during  the  five 
years  1904  to  1909,  and  more  than  fifty  fold  during 
the  decade  as  a whole.  Other  industries  which 
show  exceptionally  large  increases  for  both  five-year 
periods  in  all  three  items  are  the  making  of  men’s  and 
of  women’s  clothing,  the  bakery  and  the  butter,  cheese,

eludes  the  less  important  industries  of  the  country, 
shows  greater  percentages  of  increase  than  all  Indus- ^ 
tries  combmed,  thus  indicating  possibly  an  increased 
tendency  toward  diversification  in  manufacturing 
industries. 

The  percentage  of  increase  in  all  three  of  the  items — 
number  of  wage  earners,  gross  value  of  products,  and 
value  added  by  manufacture — was  gi-eater  during  the 
second  five-year  period  (1904  to  1909)  than  during 
the  first  (1899  to  1904)  in  the  slaughtering  and  meat- 
packing and  foundry  and  machine-shop  industries,  the 
manufacture  of  cotton  goods,  the  men’s  clothing,  boot 
and  shoe,  and  woolen-goods  industries,  the  smelting  and 
refining  of  copper,  the  manufacture  of  automobiles,  silk 
and  silk  goods,  brass  and  bronze  products,  agricultural 
implements,  and  paint  and  varnish,  the  steel  works 
and  rolling  mills,  and  the  chemical  industry.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  percentage  of  increase  in  all  three 
items  was  less  during  the  later  five-year  period  than 
during  the  earlier  in  the  flour-mill  and  gristnfill,  rail- 
road repair  shop,  bakery,  women’s  clothing,  paper  and 
wood  pulp,  petroleum  refining,  furniture,  illunfinating 
gas,  carriage  and  wagon,  and  leather-goods  industries.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS  MANUFACTURES. 


In  all  the  other  industries  covered  hy  the  table  the 
increases  during  the  second  period  are  in  some  items 
greater  than  during  the  first  period,  while  in  other 
items  they  are  less,  or  else  the  industry  shows  a decrease 
during  one  or  both  periods. 

In  considering  the  relative  importance  of  the  indus- 
tries shown  in  Table  110  and  not  included  in  Table  4, 
it  should  be  noted  that  there  are  several  industries 
fisted  the  figures  given  for  which  fall  far  short  of  being  a 
complete  presentation  of  the  statistics  for  that  branch  of 
manufactures  covered  by  the  industiy  d*esignation,  for 
the  reason  that  they  cover  onl}'’  establishments  engaged 
primarily  in  manufacturing  the  class  of  products  indi- 
cated by  this  designation,  wdaile  large  quantities  of  the 
same  j)roducts  are  manufactured  incidentally  by  estab- 
lishments classified  under  other  heads.  Some  conspic- 
uous examples  are  the  manufacture  of  glue,  candles,  lard, 
and  fertilizers,  and-  the  d3'eing  and  finishing  of  textiles. 
A large  proportion  of  the  glue,  lard,  and  fertilizers  are 
manufactured  by  slaughtering  and  meat-packing  estab- 
lishments, and  quantities  of  fertilizers  are  also  made  in 
cottonseed-oil  mills.  The  dyeing  and  fmisliuig  of  tex- 
tiles is  done  largely  in  the  establishments  that  manufac- 
ture the  fabric.  Candles  are  manufactured  in  establish- 
ments classified  under  the  head  of  "soap”  and  in  those 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  petroleum  products. 
For  reasons  of  this  character  the  roasting  andgrinding  of 
coffee  and  spice,  and  the  manufacture  of  fertilizers,  food 
preparations,  and  rubber  goods,  and  the  soap  industry, 
for  each  of  wdiich  products  valued  at  over  1100,000,000 
were  reported,  are  not  shown  in  Table  4. 


Summary  by  states  and  geographic  divisions. — Table 
5 on  the  next  page  shows,  for  each  state,  the  popu- 
lation, also  the  number  of  wage  earners,  value  of 
products,  and  value  added  by  manufacture  in  1909, 
together  with  the  rank  of  the  state  with  respect  to 
each  of  these  items  and  the  percentage  of  the  total 
reported  from  each  state.  It  also  shows  the  percent- 
age of  increase  with  respect  to  each  of  these  three  items 
from  1904  to  1909  and  from  1899  to  1904,  respectively. 
The  states  are  arranged  in  the  order  of  their  rank 
with  respect  to  value  of  products. 

The  first  seven  states  in  respect  to  value  of  products 
are  also  the  first  seven  in  respect  to  number  of  wage 
earners  and  value  added  by  manufacture.  Each  of 
these  seven  states  has  the  same  rank  in  all  three  respects 
except  that  Illinois,  which  is  third  in  value  of  products 
and  value  added  by  manufacture,  ranks  fourth  in  num- 
ber of  w’age  earners,  Massachusetts  advancing  to  third 
place.  These  seven  states  together  reported  over  three- 
fifths  of  the  total  value  of  manufactured  products  for 
the  United  States. 

Most  of  the  other  states  show^  approximately  the  same 
rank  in  each  of  the  three  items,  but  there  are  several 
state.s  in  which,  becauseof  the  large  proportion  which  the 
cost  of  materials  represents  of  the  total  value  of  products, 
the  rank  according  to  value  of  products  is  materially 
higher  than  that  in  number  of  w’age  earners  or  in  value 
added  b}^  manufacture.  This  is  particularly  true  of 
states  in  which  the  flour-mill  and  slaughtering  indus- 
tries are  the  most  important.  The  most  noteworthy 
case  of  this  character  is  Kansas,  which  ranks  four-

STATJ<:S,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


teenth  in  value  of  products,  but  only  thirty-third  in 
niunber  of  wage  earners  and  twenty-eighth  in  value 
adiled  by  manufacture. 

With  oidy  one  exception  all  of  the  states  show  an 
increase  in  each  of  the  three  items  from  1904  to  1909; 
in  Montana,  however,  the  value  added  by  manufac- 
ture shows  a decrease  for  this  period,  due  largely  to 
merely  teclmical  dill’erences  in  methods  of  account- 
ing in  the  smelting  industry,  which  is  the  principal 
one  in  that  state.  A few  of  the  states  showed  a 
decrease  in  one  or  more  items  for  the  period  1899 
to  1904. 


The  greatest  percentages  of  increase  are  naturally 
in  those  states  in  which  the  development  of  manu- 
facturing industries  is  com|)aratively  recent.  Thus 
Texas,  Washington,  Oregon,  Utah,  Oklahoma,  Idaho, 
North  Dakota,  and  Nevada  show  exceptionally  high 
rates  of  increase  for  both  live-year  periods.  Among 
the  10  states  which  are  most  important  in  manufac- 
turing the  most  conspicuous  advances  are  in  Ohio, 
New  Jersey,  and  Michigan.  The  absolute  increase, 
as  distinguished  from  the  percentage  of  increase,  was 
greater  in  New  York,  the  leading  manufacturing  state, 
than  in  any  other  state.

* Per  cent  of  increase  is  based  on  figures  in  Table  111.  A minus  sign  (— ) denotes  decrease. 


Table  6,  on  page  448,  presents  similar  data  for 
the  nine  grand  geographic  divisions  of  the  United 
States,  arranged  in  the  order  of  their  rank  in  value  of 
products.  The  states  included  in  each  division  are 
shown  in  Table  111. 

The  three  Middle  Atlantic  states — New  York,  New 
Jersey,  and  Pennsylvania — together  reported  more  than 
one-third  of  the  total  value  of  manufactured  products 


2 Lo,ss  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 

for  the  country;  the  East  North  Central  states,  about 
one-fourth;  and  the  New  England  states,  somewhat 
over  one-eighth.  These  three  divisions  together  con- 
tributed 72.6  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  manufac- 
tured products  in  1909;  they  showed,  however,  some- 
what lower  percentages  of  increase  during  the  past 
decade  than  the  other  divisions,  in  which  manufactur- 
ing is  of  more  recent  development.

Summary  for  50  leading  cities:  1909.  — Table  7 
{)iesents,  for  the  50  cities  which  stand  highest  in 
value  of  manufactured  products,  arranged  in  order  of 
rank,  data  similar  to  those  presented  for  the  geographic 
divisions  in  Table  6.  It  should  be  particularly  noted 
in  considering  this  table  that  the  figures  relate  only 
to  the  manufacturing  establishments  situated  actually 
within  the  boundaries  of  the  several  cities. 

In  the  case  of  practically  every  city  listed  there 
are  important  manufacturing  establishments  in  the 
immediate  vicinity,  and  in  the  case  of  several  of 
the  cities  such  outside  establishments,  which  virtu- 
ally constitute  a part  of  the  city’s  industrial  in- 
terests, have  a greater  value  of  products  than 
those  within  the  city  itself.  The  most  notable 
instances  of  this  character  are  Pittsburgh  and  Boston, 
which  would  rank  decidedly  higher  in  a table  based 
on  metropolitan  or  industrial  districts  than  they 
do  in  the  table  for  cities  proper.  While  the  popula- 
tion of  Pittsburgh  proper  is  533,905,  the  population 
of  the  metropolitan  district  of  Pittsburgh,  as  defined 
by  the  Census  Bureau,  is  1,042,855.  Similarly,  the 
population  of  the  Boston  metropolitan  district  is 
1,520,470,  as  compared  with  670,585  for  the  city 
proper.  Further  details  regarding  the  manufactures  of 
the  25  leading  cities  are  given  in  Table  112. 

The  rank  of  the  cities  of  the  country  with  respect  to 
manufactures  is  in  many  cases  decidedly  thfferent 
from  their  rank  in  population.  Thus  Boston  ranks 
fifth  in  population,  but  eighth  in  value  of  manufac- 
tured products;  Baltimore,  seventh  in  population,  but 
thirteenth  in  value  of  manufactured  products;  and 
Ix)S  Angeles,  sixteenth  in  population,  but  thirty- 
second  in  value  of  products.  Kansas  City,  Kans., 
on  the  other  hand,  by  reason  of  the  large  slaughtering 
establishments  there,  ranks  fifteenth  in  value  of  manu- 
factured products,  but  is  not  among  the  .50  princii)al 
cities  from  the  standpoint  of  population.  Of  the  50 
cities  in  the  United  States  which  have  over  100,000 
inhabitants,  14  are  not  included  among  the  50  cities 
liaving  the  largest  value  of  manufactures. 


In  the  case  of  some  of  the  cities  listed  in  the  table, 
the  rank  with  respect  to  the  number  of  wage  earners 
and  the  value  added  by  manufacture  is  very  different 
from  that  with  respect  to  the  gross  value  of  products, 
these  differences  being  dependent  upon  the  character 
of  the  predominating  industries.  It  is  noteworthy, 
however,  that  the  13  cities  which  rank  highest  in  gross 
value  of  products  are  also  the  13  which  occupy  the 
lughest  rank  with  respect  to  wage  earners  and  value 
added  by  manufacture,  although  considered  individu- 
ally these  cities  do  not  in  all  cases  hold  the  same  rank 
in  each  of  the  three  respects.  Conspicuous  instances 
of  cities  having  higher  rank  in  gross  value  of  products 
than  in  number  of  wage  earners  or  value  added  by 
manufacture  are  Kansas  City,  Kans.,  South  Omaha, 
Youngstown,  Bayonne,  and  Perth  Amboy.  On  the  other 
hand,  cities  which  lead  in  the  manufacture  of  textiles, 
such  as  Lawi’ence,  Fall  River,  Lowell,  New  Bedford,  and 
Paterson,  have  a decidedly  higher  rank  with  respect  to 
number  of  wage  earners  than  with  respect  to  either 
value  of  products  or  value  added  by  manufacture. 

For  every  city  listed  in  the  table  a greater  gross 
value  of  products  and,  with  the  exception  of  Omaha, 
a greater  value  added  by  manufacture  were  reported 
in  1909  than  in  1899.  Only  two  cities — San  Francisco 
and  New  Orleans — showed  a loss  in  gross  value  in 
1909  as  compared  with  1904,  and  only  San  Francisco  a 
loss  in  value  added  by  manufacture.  Between  1899 
and  1904,  however,  decreases  in  gross  value  of  manu- 
factures occurred  in  four  cities.  In  number  of  wage 
earners,  Pittsburgh,  San  Francisco,  South  Omaha,  and 
Peoria  showed  a decline  in  1909  as  compared  with 
1899;  several  other  cities  showed  decreases  fi’om  1899 
] to  1904,  but  these  were  more  than  made  up  during  the 
second  half  of  the  decade.  It  may  be  noted  that  the 
statistics  for  the  Pittsburgh  industrial  district,  which 
is  more  comprehensive  than  the  city,  would  show  de- 
cided gains  and  that  the  decrease  in  the  manufacturing 
industries  in  San  Francisco  is  the  natural  result  of  the 
gi’eat  earth(|uake  and  lire. 

Of  the  cities  reporting  products  of  $200,000,000 
or  more,  Deti’oit  showed  the  greatest  percentage 


449 


STATES,  (TTIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


of  increase  in  all  of  the  items  under  consideration 
and  Cleveland  the  next  greatest,  with  the  exception  of 
the  number  of  wage  earners,  in  which  it  was  exceeded 
by  Milwaukee.  Among  the  smaller  manufacturing 
cities  included  in  the  table,  those  showing  conspicuous 


increases  are  Akron,  Perth  Amboy,  Los  Angeles,  and 
Seattle. 

In  the  case  of  most  of  the  cities  higher  rates  of  in- 
crease in  all  three  items  are  shown  for  the  period  1904 
to  1909  than  for  the  period  1899  to  1904.

Distribution  according  to  size  of  conununities. — 
It  is  a matter  of  interest  to  know  the  extent  to  wliich 
the  manufacturing  enterprises  of  the  country  are  located 
in  the  larger  cities  as  compared  with  the  smaller 
cities  and  rural  «districts.  Some  indication  of  this  is 
given  in  Table  8,  on  page  451,  which  distributes  the 
total  number  of  establishments,  average  number  of 
wage  earners,  value  of  products,  and  value  added  by 
manufacture  reported  in  1909  and  1899  by  classes  of 
places,  the  classes  distinguished  being  cities  of  100,000 
inhabitants  or  over,  cities  of  25,000  to  100,000  inliabit- 
ants,  cities  of  10,000  to  25,000  inliabitants,  and  the 
remainder  of  the  country,  the  latter  including  the 
72497°— 13 29 


smaller  cities,  towns,  and  other  incorporated  places 
and  the  rural  districts.  The  aggregate  population  of 
each  group  in  1910  and  1900  is  also  given.  Statistics 
for  1904  are  not  given  because  there  was  no  Federal 
census  of  population  for  that  year,  and  it  is  impos- 
sible to  determine  with  accuracy  what  cities  belonged 
to  each  group. 

In  considering  tliis  table  it  should  be  noted  that  each 
place  is  classed  at  each  census  according  to  its  popula- 
tion at  that  census,  so  that  the  same  community  may 
be  in  one  class  in  1900  and  in  another  class  in  1910;  and 
consequently  the  change  in  the  totals  for  any  given 
class  of  communities  from  1899  to  1909  should  not  be

business  in  the  same  communities.  The  significant 
figures  are  the  percentages  of  the  totals  reported  by 
eacli  class  of  j)laces  at  the  two  censuses.  It  should  be 
noted  further  that  the  statistics  of  manufactures 
shown  for  any  given  community  are  those  reported 
from  establishments  lying  strictly  within  the  municipal 


boundaries.  Since  in  many  cases  large  manufacturing 
establishments  are  located  just  outside  of  city  bound- 
aries, the  pro[)ortion  of  the  manufacturing  business 
of  the  country  as  a whole  which,  in  a sense,  can  be 
|)ropcrly  credited  to  places  of  10,000  or  more  inhabitants 
is  somewhat  greater  than  can  be  shown  by  the  statistics 
in  this  table.

In  1909  places  of  more  than  10,000  inhabitants, 
although  they  included  only  37  per  cent  of  the  total 
population  of  the  country,  contained  a little  over  one- 
half  of  the  total  number  of  manufacturing  establish- 
ments in  the  country.  These  establishments  employed 
nearly  two-thirds  of  the  wage  earners  employed  in 
manufactures  (65.3  per  cent),  and  reported  more  than 
two-thirds  of  the  total  value  of  products  and  of  the 
value  added  by  manufacture,  the  actual  percentages 
being  69  and  70.4,  respectively. 

It  is  noteworthy,  however,  that,  whereas  commu- 
nities of  this  size  contained  a materially  larger  pro- 
portion of  the  population  of  the  country  in  1910  than 
they  did  in  1900—37  per  cent  as  against  31.7  per 
cent — there  was  only  a very  slight  increase  in  their  pro- 
portion of  the  total  number  of  manufacturing  establish- 
ments and  of  wage  earners,  and  of  the  total  value  added 
by  manufacture,  and  practically  no  change  in  their 
proportion  of  the  total  value  of  products.  In  other 
words,  while  these  communities,  considered  as  a 


group,  have  perhaps  a little  more  than  held  their 
own  in  relative  importance  in  manufacturing  industry, 
they  have  not  gained  in  tliis  respect  commensurately 
with  their  gain  in  population.  The  foregoing  state- 
ment regarding  this  group  as  a whole  holds  true  like- 
wise for  the  class  of  cities  having  from  25,000  to  100,000 
inhabitants  and  for  the  class  having  100,000  or  more 
inhabitants,  except  that  for  the  latter  group  there 
was  a slight  decrease  in  the  proportion  of  the  value 
of  products  and  value  added  by  manufacture.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  class  of  communities  having  from 
10,000  to  25,000  inhabitants  reported  a slight  in- 
crease m its  proportion  of  the  total  population  in 
1910  as  compared  with  1900,  and  a slightly  larger 
proportion  of  the  total  value  of  products  in  1909 
than  in  1899,  although  in  respect  to  number  of  estab- 
lishments, average  number  of  wage  earners,  and  value 
added  by  manufacture,  the  proportion  for  such  com- 
munities was  slightly  lower  in  the  later  year  than  in 
the  earlier. 


PERSONS  ENGAGED  IN  MANUFACTURING  INDUSTRIES. 


Definitions  and  explanations. — Attention  is  called  to 
certain  differences  between  the  census  of  1909  and 
previous  censuses  in  respect  to  the  manner  of  collect- 
ing and  presenting  statistics  of  persons  engaged  in 
manufacturing  industries. 

At  the  censuses  of  1899,  1904,  and  1909  the  follow- 
ing general  classes  of  persons  engaged  in  manufac- 
turing industries  were  distinguished:  (1)  Proprietors 
and  firm  members,  (2)  salaried  officers  of  corporations, 
(3)  superintendents  and  managers,  (4)  clerks,  and  (5) 


wage  earners.  In  the  reports  for  the  censuses  of  1904 
and  1899  these  five  classes  were  shown  accordmg  to 
the  tln-ee  main  groups:  (1)  Proprietors  and  firm  mem- 
bers, (2)  salaried  officials,  clerks,  etc.,  and  (3)  wage 
earners.  The  second  group  included  the  tln-ee  classes 
of  salaried  officers  of  corporations,  superintendents  and 
managers,  and  clerks.  In  certahi  tables  relating  ex- 
clusively to  the  present  census  a somewhat  different 
grouping  is  employed — that  into  (1)  proprietors  and 
officials,  (2)  clerks,  and  (3)  wage  earners.  The  first 


1 5 ‘2 


AHSTHACT 


OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


group  includes  ])r()priet.ors  and  firm  members,  salaried 
ollicers  of  corporations,  and  superintendents  and 
managers.  In  comj)arative  tables  covering  the  cen- 
suses of  1899  and  1904  it  is  of  course  necessaiy 
to  group  the  figures  for  1909  according  to  the 
same  classification  that  was  employed  in  the  earlier 
censuses. 

At  tliis  census  the  number  of  persons  engaged  in  the 
industries,  segregated  by  sex,  and,  in  the  case  of  wage 
earners,  also  by  age  (whether  under  16  or  16  and  over), 
was  reported  for  December  15,  or  the  nearest  repre- 
sentative day.  d’he  15th  of  December  was  selected  as 
rejiresenting  for  most  industries  normal  conditions  of 
employment,  but  where  conditions  were  exceptional, 
and  particularly  in  the  case  of  certain  seasonal  indus- 
tries, such  as  canning,  the  December  date  could  not  be 
accepted  as  typical  and  an  earlier  date  had  to  be 
chosen. 

In  the  case  of  employees  other  than  wage  earners  the 
number  thus  reported  on  December  15  or  other  repre- 
sentative day  has  been  treated  as  equivalent  to  the 
average  for  the  year,  since  the  number  of  employees  of 
this  class  does  not  vary  much  from  month  to  month 
in  a given  industry.  In  the  case  of  wage  earners  the 
average  is  obtained  in  the  manner  explained  in  the 
next  paragraph. 

In  addition  to  the  more  detailed  report  by  sex  and 
age  of  the  number  of  wage  earners  on  December  15  or 
other  representative  day,  a report  was  obtained  of  the 
number  employed  on  the  15th  of  each  month,  without 
distinction  of  sex  or  age.  From  these  figures  the 
average  number  of  wage  earners  for  the  year  has  been 
calculated  by  dividing  the  sum  of  the  numbers 
reported  each  month  by  12.  The  average  thus  ob- 
tained represents  the  number  of  wage  earners  that 
would  be  required  to  perform  the  work  done  if  all  were 
constantly  employed  during  the  entire  year.  Accord- 
ingly, the  importance  of  any  industry  as  an  employer 
of  labor  is  befieved  to  be  more  accurately  measured  by 
tliis  average  than  by  the  number  employed  at  any  one 
time  or  on  a given  day. 

The  number  of  wage  earners  reported  for  the  i-epre- 
sentative  day,  though  given  in  certain  tables  for  each 
separate  industiy,  is  not  totaled  for  all  industries  com- 
bined, because  in  view  of  the  variations  of  date  such  a 
total  is  believed  not  to  be  significant.  It  would 
involve  more  or  less  duplication  of  persons  working  in 
different  industries  at  different  times,  would  not  rep- 
resent the  total  number  employed  in  all  industries  at 
any  one  time,  and  would  give  an  undue  weight  to 
seasonal  industries  as  compared  with  industries  in 
continual  operation. 

In  particular,  totals  by  sex  and  age  for  the  wage 
earners  reported  for  the  re])resentative  day  for  all 
industries  combined  would  be  misleading  because  of 
the  undue  weight  given  to  seasonal  industries,  in  some 
of  which,  such  as  canning  and  ])reserving,  the  distribu- 
tion of  tlie  wage  earners  by  sex  and  age  is  materially 


different  from  that  in  most  industries  of  more  regular 
operation.  In  order  to  determine  as  nearly  as  possible 
the  sex  and  ago  distribution  of  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  for  a given  state  as  a whole,  the  per  cent 
distribution  by  sex  and  age  of  the  wage  earners  in  each 
industry  for  December  15  or  the  nearest  representa- 
tive day  has  been  calculated  from  the  actual  numbers 
reported  for  that  date.  The  percentages  thus  ob- 
tained have  been  applied  to  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  for  the  3’ear  in  that  industr^q  to  determine 
the  average  number  of  men,  women,  and  children 
employed.  These  calculated  averages  for  the  several 
industries  have  been  added  up  to  give  the  average 
distribution  for  each  state  as  a whole  and  for  the 
entire  country. 

In  1899  and  1904  the  schedule  called  for  the  aver- 
age number  of  wage  earners  of  each  sex  16  years 
and  over,  and  the  average  number  under  16  years  of 
age  without  distinction  of  sex,  for  each  month,  and 
these  montldy  statements  were  combined  in  an  annual 
average.  Comparatively  few  manufacturing  concerns, 
however,  keep  their  books  in  such  way  as  to  show 
readily  the  number  of  men,  women,  and  children  em- 
ployed on  the  average  each  month.  These  monthly 
returns  by  sex  and  age  were,  in  fact,  largelj'  estimates. 
It  was  believed  that  a more  accurate  and  rehable  sex 
and  age  distribution  could  be  secured  by  taking  as  a 
basis  of  estimate  the  actual  numbers  employed  on  a 
single  day. 

Summary  for  United  States:  1909. — The  following 
table  shows,  for  1909,  the  distribution  of  the  persons 
engaged  in  manufacturing,  each  class  being  distributed 
by  sex,  and  the  average  number  of  wage  earners  b}'

The  average  number  of  jiei-sons  engaged  in  manufac- 
turing industries  during  1909  was  7,078,578.  Of  these, 
6,615,046,  or  86.1  per  cent,  were  wage  earners;  487,173, 
or  6.3  per  cent,  projirictom  and  officials;  and  576,359, 
or  7.5  per  cent,  clerks.  Of  the  wage  earners,  5,163,164 
were  males  10  years  of  ago  and  over;  1,290,389  females 
10  years  of  age  and  over;  and  101,493  children  under

The  highest  proportion  of  proprietors  and  officials 
shown  for  any  individual  industry  covered  by  the 
table,  33.3  per  cent,  is  for  the  butter,  cheese,  and  con- 
densed-milk industry.  Many  of  the  establishments 
in  this  industry  are  carried  on  by  cooperative  asso- 
ciations, and  the  practice  in  1909,  as  at  prior  censuses, 
was  not  to  include  the  members  of  such  associations 
as  proprietors  in  the  totals,  but  to  omit  them  al- 
together. From  the  information  contained  in  the 
reports,  it  is  impossible,  in  some  instances,  to  distin- 
guish such  associations  from  partnerships,  and  the 
large  number  of  proprietors  and  officials  shown  for 
this  industry  indicates  the  probability  that  the  mem- 
bers of  some  associations  were  inadvertently  included 
as  partners.  The  high  percentage  of  proprietors  and 


officials  in  the  flour-mill  and  gristmill  and  tlie  bakery 
industi'ies  is  explained  by  the  fact  that  the  majority 
of  the  establishments  are  small  and  the  work  is  to  a 
large  extent  done  by  the  proprietors  or  their  imme- 
diate representatives,  while  in  the  large  flour  mills 
automatic  machinery  has  reduced  the  amount  of 
labor  to  a minimum. 

A factor  wliich  has  much  to  do  with  the  proportion 
of  clerks  among  the  total  number  of  employees  in  an 
industry  is  the  method  of  marketing  tlie  product. 
Thus  there  are  high  percentages  of  clerks  in  the 
manufacture  of  patent  medicines  and  compounds 
and  druggists’  preparations,  and  in  the  paint  and 
varnish,  ihuminating-gas,  and  printing  and  publish- 
ing industries.  In  these  industries  the  average  num-

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


her  of  customers  or  patrons  for  each  establishment 
is  large  and  this  necessitates  a large  force  of  em- 
. ployees  for  soliciting  trade,  correspondence,  account- 
ing, and  collection. 

In  general,  though  not  in  all  cases,  the  larger  the 
average  size  of  establislunents  in  an  industiy,  the 
smaller  is  the  proportion  of  proprietors,  officials,  and 
clerks,  and  the  larger  tlie  proportion  of  wage  earners. 
Tlius  tlie  four  textile  industries — the  cotton,  woolen, 
hosiery  and  knit-goods,  and  silk-manufacturing  in- 
dustries— which  are  mainly  conducted  in  large  fac- 
tories, show  the  largest  pi-oportions  of  wage  earners. 
An  unusually  large  proportion  of  wage  earners  is 
shown  also  for  the  paper  and  pulp  mills,  the  steel 
works  and  rolling  mills,  the  construction  of  steam- 
railroad  cars,  the  smelting  and  refining  of  copper  and 
lead,  the  tanning  and  finisliing  of  leather,  boots  and 
shoes,  and  the  repair  shops  of  steam  railroads. 

Comparison  with  previous  censuses  as  to  occupational 
status. — In  order  to  compare  the  distribution  of  per- 
sons engaged  in  manufacturing  industries  according 
to  occupational  status  in  1909  with  that  shown  at  the 
census  of  1904,  it  is  necessary  to  use  the  classification 
employed  at  the  earher  census.  (See  p.  451.)  Such 
a comparison  is  made  in  the  following  table.  Com- 
parable figures  for  1899  are  not  available.

A greater  percentage  of  increase  is  shown  for  salaried 
employees  than  for  the  other  two  classes.  This  is 
due  in  part  to  the  changes  from  individual  and  firm 
ownership  to  corporate  organization,  a change  which 
frequently  involves  the  transfer  of  proprietors  and  firm 
members  to  the  class  of  officials.  At  the  same  time 
there  is  no  doubt  that  the  number  of  clerks  here 
classified  with  the  other  salaried  employees  has  in- 
creased relatively  faster  than  the  number  of  wage 
earners.  This  may  indicate  an  increase  of  tlie  practice 
on  the  part  of  the  manufacturers  of  direct  sale  of 


goods  without  the  interjiosition  of  so  many  middlemen 
as  formerly  handled  the  ])roduct. 

Sex  and  age  distribution,  by  leading  industries:  1909. — 
Table  12,  on  the  opposite  page,  shows,  for  the  43  lead- 
ing industries,  the  number  and  per  cent  distribution,  by 
age  and  sex,  of  wage  earners  as  reported  for  December 
15,  or  the  neai-est  representative  day.  As  a means  of 
judging  the  true  importance  of  the  several  industries 
as  employers  of  labor,  the  average  number  employed 
for  the  entire  year  is  also  given  in  each  case,  this  num- 
ber, in  the  case  of  seasonal  industries,  being  much 
smaller  than  the  number  on  the  representative  day. 
The  per  cent  distribution  for  all  industries  combined, 
based  on  the  average  number  employed  as  shown  in 
Table  9,  is  also  presented. 

In  all  industries  combined  78  per  cent  of  the  average 
number  of  wage  earners  were  males  16  years  of  age  or 
over,  19.5  per  cent  females  16  years  of  age  or  over, 
and  2.5  per  cent  children  under  the  age  of  16. 

The  industries  for  which  the  largest  proportions  of 
males  16  years  of  age  or  over  are  shown  are  those  in 
which  the  work  is  of  a nature  requiring  much  physical 
strength  or  a high  degree  of  skill.  Thus  in  the  smelting 
and  refining  of  both  copper  and  lead  males  16  years 
of  age  or  over  constitute  99.9  per  cent  of  the  total 
number  of  wage  earners,  and  in  the  blast  furnaces 
they  constitute  99.8  per  cent.  Other  industries  in 
which  males  of  16  years  or  over  represent  more  than 
99  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners  are  the  gas  industry, 
construction  of  steam-railroad  cars,  steel  works  and 
rolling  mills,  marble  and  stone  work,  the  repair  shops 
of  steam  railroads,  and  the  manufacture  of  cotton- 
seed oil. 

The  proportion  of  women  and  children,  naturally, 
is  larger  in  those  industries  in  which  the  processes 
require  dexterity  rather  than  strength.  In  six  of  the 
industries  covered  by  Table  12 — the  making  of  men’s 
and  women’s  clothing,  the  confectionery  industry,  and 
the  manufacture  of  hosiery  and  knit  goods,  of  patent 
medicines  and  compounds  and  druggists’  preparations, 
and  of  silk  and  silk  goods — more  than  half  of  the  wage 
earners  are  females  16  years  of  age  or  over. 

The  proportion  of  wage  earners  under  16  years  is 
larger  in  three  of  the  textile  industries — the  cotton 
goods,  silk  and  silk  goods,  and  hosiery  and  knit-goods 
industries — than  in  any  other  of  the  jirincipal  industries 
of  the  country.  The  proportion  is  also  relatively 
high  in  the  canning  and  jireserving,  confectionery, 
and  woolen-goods  industries.

> No  totals  given  for  reasons  explained  on  page  452. 

In  addition  to  the  industries  shown  in  the  above 
table,  which  were  selected  according  to  their  importance 
with  respect  to  gross  value  of  products,  certain  others 
are  of  interest  because  of  the  relatively  large  number 
of  women  and  children  employed.  Table  13,  on  the 
following  page,  shows  the  sex  and  age  distribution  of 
wage  earners  in  all  industries  not  covered  by  the 
preceding  table  in  which  there  were  at  least  5,000 
women,  or  in  which  the  women  constituted  over  40 
per  cent  of  the  wage  earners  and  numbered  not  less 
than  500. 

The  table  shows  that  there  are  a large  number  of 
industries,  some  of  considerable  importance,  in  which 
women  16  years  of  age  or  over  represent  more  than  40 
per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  wage  earners.  In  the 
manufacture  of  corsets,  of  artificial  flowers,  feathers, 
and  plumes,  and  of  steel  pens,  more  than  80  per  cent 


* Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 

of  the  wage  earners  are  women.  Other  industries 
in  which  female  wage  earners  16  years  of  age  or  over 
constitute  over  three-fourths  of  the  total  number 
employed  are  the  manufacture  of  men’s  furnishing 
goods  and  of  millinery  and  lace  goods,  and  the  grading, 
roasting,  cleaning,  and  shelling  of  peanuts.  Large 
numbers  of  women  are  also-  employed  in  several  indus- 
tries listed  in  this  table  in  which,  however,  the  propor- 
tion which  these  represent  of  the  total  number  of  wage 
earners  is  less  than  40  per  cent. 

Of  the  industries  shown  in  Table  13,  those  in  which 
the  proportion  of  children  under  16  years  of  age  ex- 
ceeds 5 per  cent  are  the  manufacture  of  bags,  other 
than  paper;  cigar  boxes;  fancy  and  paper  boxes;  horse 
clothing;  cordage  and  twine;  needles,  pins,  and  hooks 
and  eyes;  lead  pencils;  stationery  goods,  not  elsewhere 
specified;  and  the  cork-cutting  industry.

Sex  and  age  distribution,  by  states:  1909. — Table  14 
shows,  for  each  geographic  division  and  each  state, 
tlie  distribution  of  wage  earners  by  sex  and  age  and 
the  per  cent  that  each  class  represents  of  the  total 
average  number  of  wage  earners.  Tlie  numbers  of 
each  sex  and  each  age  period  are  obtained  by 
applying  to  the  average  number  employed  in  each 
industry  in  each  state  the  percentages  of  each  age 
and  sex  in  the  number  of  wage  earners  reported  for 
December  15,  or  the  nearest  representative  day,  and 
then  totaling  the  result,  as  more  fully  explained  on 
page  452. 

The  relative  number  of  males  16  years  of  age  or 
over,  females  16  years  of  age  or  over,  and  children 
\mder  16  employed  in  each  state  depends  primarily 
upon  the  character  of  the  industries  in  that  state,  but 
the  number  of  persons  under  16  employed  is  also 
affected  by  the  legislation  of  the  several  states  with 
regard  to  child  labor.  Tlie  largest  proportions  of 
female  wage  earners  16  years  of  age  or  over  are  found 
in  the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic  divisions, 


owing  chiefly  to  the  importance  of  the  textile  and 
clothing  industries  in  these  divisions.  Next  to  these 
two  divisions  in  this  respect  ranks  the  South  Atlantic 
division,  and  in  this  division  appears  the  largest  pro- 
portion of  wage  earners  under  16  years  of  age,  6.3 
per  cent.  This  large  proportion  is  due  chiefly  to  the 
predominance  of  the  textile  industries  in  the  South 
Atlantic  states.  The  proportions  of  females  16  years 
of  ase  or  over  and  of  children  under  16  are  lowest  in 
the  West  South  Central,  Mountain,  and  Pacific  divi- 
sions, where  the  textile  and  clothing  industries  arc 
relatively  unimportant. 

Among  the  individual  states  the  largest  proportion 
of  female  wage  earners  16  years  of  age  or  over,  32.3 
per  cent,  is  found  in  Rhode  Island,  and  the  next  largest 
])roportion  in  New  Hampsliire,  followed  closely  by 
Massachusetts  and  New  York.  The  proportion  of 
children  employed  is  largest  in  South  Carolina,  12.9 
per  cent,  and  next  largest  in  North  Carolina.  Among 
the  Northern  states  Rliode  Island  shows  the  largest 
percentage  of  children.

Comparison  with  previous  censuses  as  to  sex  and 
age, — The  following  table  shows,  for  all  industries 
combined,  the  distribution  of  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  according  to  age  periods,  and  in  the  case 
of  those  16  years  of  age  or  over  according  to  sex,  for 
1909,  1904,  and  1899.  As  already  explained  (p.  452), 
the  distribution  for  1909  is  estimated  on  the  basis  of 
the  actual  proportions  reported  for  a single  represent- 


ative day,  while  the  figures  for  the  other  two  censuses 
represent  averages  computed  from  the  number  of  each 
class  reported  for  each  month  of  the  year.

From  an  examination  of  this  table  it  will  be  seen 
that,  wliile  the  numbers  of  men  and  women  workers 
increased  at  each  census,  the  number  of  children  under 
16  years  of  age  has  been  comparatively  stationary. 
For  all  industries  combined  there  was  a shght  net 
increase  during  the  10  years  in  the  number  of  cliildren 
employed,  although  from  1899  to  1904  the  number 
decreased.  The  percentage  which  children  represent 
of  the  total  number  of  wage  earners,  however,  de- 
creased from  census  to  census.  The  proportion  of  adult 
female  wage  earners  has  been  the  same  at  each  census, 
while  the  proportion  of  adult  males  has  increased 
slightly. 

Comparison  of  sex  and  age  distribution  in  selected 
industries:  1909,  1904,  and  1899. — Table  16  shows,  in 
percentages,  the  distribution  of  wage  earners  accord- 
ing to  sex  and  age  periods,  in  1909,  1904,  and  1899, 
for  all  industries  of  any  importance  in  wliich  the  pro- 
portion of  women  and  children  is  relatively  high  or  in 
which  the  absolute  number  of  women  and  children  is 
large.  The  percentages  for  the  three  years  are  com- 
parable though  not  precisely  parallel,  for  the  reason 
that  those  for  1909  relate  to  the  number  employed 
on  December  15,  or  the  nearest  representative  day, 
which  in  the  case  of  many  establishments  in  some 
industries  was  in  another  month  than  December, 
while  those  for  1904  and  1899  (in  wliich  years  reports 
w’ere  made  for  each  month  of  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  by  sex  and  age)  are  based  upon  the 
average  number  in  each  group  for  the  month  of 
December.  Nevertheless,  the  figures  should  be  very 
closely  comparable  for  nearly  all  industries. 

In  about  three-fifths  of  the  61  industries  shown  in 
this  table  the  number  of  females  16  years  of  age  or 
over  and  of  cliildren  under  the  age  of  16,  taken 
together,  formed  a smaller  proportion  of  the  wage 
earners  reported  for  December  in  1909  than  in 
1899,  or,  in  other  words,  the  proportion  of  males  16 
years  of  age  or  over  increased  during  the  decade.  In 
the  cotton-goods  industry,  in  which  the  number  of 
women  and  children  is  greater  than  in  any  other 
industry,  each  of  these  classes  represented  a smaller

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES, 


porceiitage  of  the  total  number  of  wa"e  earners  in  1909 
than  in  1899.  Similar  chan<>;es  have  occurred  in  the 
men’s  clothin"  and  the  hosier}'^  and  knit-goods  indus- 
tries, both  of  which  arc  important  as  employers  of 
women  and  children.  In  the  silk  and  woolen  industries 
the  proportion  of  women  has  increased  slightly,  but  the 
proportion  of  children  under  1(5  has  deci’eased.  For  the 
tobacco-products  industry,  in  which  the  ])roportion  of 


children  has  likewise  decreased,  a marked  increase  is 
shown  in  the  proportion  of  women  employed. 

Among  the  61  industries  listed  in  the  table  there 
were  22  in  which  the  percentage  of  children  was  higher 
in  1909  than  in  1899,  but  most  of  these  are  relatively

In  every  geographic  division  except  New  England, 
children  under  16  years  of  age  constituted  a smaller 
proportion  of  the  average  number  of  wage  earners  in 
1909  than  in  1899,  while  the  proportion  in  New  Eng- 


land rose  slightly,  wholly  on  account  of  increased 
proportions  in  Massachusetts  and  Connecticut.  The 
proportion  of  children  decreased  during  the  decade  in 
all  but  five  of  the  states,  the  exceptions  being  Massa- 
chusetts, Connecticut,  Maryland  (where  there  was  very 
little  change),  Florida,  and  New  Mexico.  In  the  Mid- 
dle Atlantic,  East  North  Central,  West  North  Central, 
East  South  Central,  and  Mountain  divisions  women 
16  years  of  age  or  over  represented  a larger  proportion 
of  the  total  in  1909  than  in  1899,  but  in  the  other 
divisions  they  constituted  a somewhat  smaller  pro- 
portion. Most  of  the  individual  states  show  com- 
paratively little  change  in  the  proportion  of  women, 
the  most  conspicuous  increases  being  in  certain  states 
where  the  manufacturing  industries  are  still  compara- 
tively undeveloped,  such  as  South  Dakota  and  Ne- 
braska. Marked  decreases  in  the  proportion  of  women 
took  place  in  Louisiana  and  California. 

Wage  earners  employed,  by  months. — The  following 
table  gives  the  number  of  wage  earners  employed  on 
the  15th  of  each  month  during  the  year  1909  for  all 
industries  combined.  For  purposes  of  comparison 
figures  for  1904  are  also  given,  but  these  are  on  a 
slightly  different  basis,  since  at  that  census  each  estab- 
lishment was  asked  to  report  the  average  number 
employed  for  each  month  rather  than  the  number 
employed  on  a specified  day  of  each  month.

‘ The  numbers  for  1909  represent  the  number  employed  on  the  15th  of  each 
month,  or  the  nearest  representative  day;  those  for  1904,  the  average  number  em- 
ployed during  each  month. 


In  1909  the  largest  numberof  wage  earners,  7,006,853, 
was  employed  in  November,  and  the  smallest  number, 
6,210,063,  in  January,  this  number  being  equal  to  88.6 
per  cent  of  the  maximum.  In  1904  the  largest  num- 
ber was  employed  in  October  and  the  smallest  number 
in  January,  the  minimum  representing  92.7  per  cent 
of  the  maximum.  In  1909  a fairly  constant  increase 
in  employment  was  shown  from  January  to  November, 
except  that  the  number  employed  in  July  was  a little 
lower  than  in  June. 

The  figures  for  employment  by  months  for  all  indus- 
tries combined  fail  to  show  fully  the  variations  in 
employment,  since  a variation  in  one  direction  in  one 
industry  may  be  offset  by  a variation  in  the  opposite 
direction  in  another  industry.  Except  for  distinctly

Considering  first  the  principal  industries,  it  will  be 
seen  that  the  greatest  regularity  of  employment  was 
in  the  manufacture  of  cotton  goods,  in  which  the 
number  employed  during  the  month  of  least  activity, 
January,  was  equal  to  97.6  per  cent  of  the  number 
employed  in  the  month  of  greatest  activity,  Decem- 


ber. Other  industries  in  which  the  number  for  the 
month  of  least  activity  was  more  than  90  per  cent  of 
the  number  for  the  month  of  greatest  activity  are  the 
manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes,  bakeries,  the  men’s 
clothing  industry,  the  tobacco-products  industry,  the 
manufacture  of  woolen  goods  and  of  hosiery  and  knit 
goods,  and  ])rinting  and  publishing.  Among  the  princi- 
pal industries  the  greatest  variation  appears  in  the  steel 
works  and  rolling  mills,  in  which  the  number  employed 
during  March,  the  month  of  least  activity,  was  only 
75.8  per  cent  of  the  number  employed  during  Decem- 
ber, the  month  of  greatest  activity.  The  women’s 
clothing  and  foundry  and  machine  shop  industries  also 
show  a comparatively  large  degree  of  variation  in  the 
number  employed. 

The  lumber  industry,  as  already  stated,  includes 
logging  camps  as  well  as  sawmills,  and  also  includes 
planing  mills  and  wooden  packing-box  factories.  The 
variation  in  emi)loyment  in  all  of  these  branches  taken 
together  for  the  country  as  a whole  is  not  very  great, 
the  number  employed  during  the  month  of  least 
activity  being  87.8  per  cent  of  the  number  employed 
during  the  month  of  greatest  activity.  For  the  log- 
ging camps  alone,  however,  there  is  greater  variation, 
the  number  employed  during  July,  170,587,  being  only 
76.6  per  cent  of  the  number  employed  in  December, 
which  was  222,564.  Furthermore,  since  in  different 
sections  of  the  country  the  active  season  in  the  woods 
covers  different  months,  if  the  operations  of  the  logging 
camps  in  each  geograpliic  division  are  considered  sep- 
arately, a much  wider  variation  appears  in  the  number 
employed,  this  being  particularly  true  in  the  Northern 
states. 

There  are  a number  of  industries  wliich  are  con- 
spicuously seasonal  in  character.  In  the  case  of  some 
of  these  the  weather  will  not  permit  work  except  at 
certain  seasons,  and  in  others  the  raw  material  used  is 
available  only  at  certain  seasons  and  must  be  handled 
immediately,  while  in  the  case  of  the  remainder  the 
demand  for  the  products  is  conspicuously  seasonal. 
The  most  variable  large  industry  is  canning  and  pre- 
serving, which  naturally  is  confined  mainly  to  the 
period  at  which  fruits  and  vegetables  arc  harvested. 
The  industry  includes  the  canning  and  preserving  of 
fish  and  oysters,  which  is  carried  on  in  the  winter 
months;  if  this  were  excluded  tliore  would  necessarily 
be  a much  greater  variation  in  the  numbei’s  employed. 
In  this  industry  the  number  employed  during  Janu- 
ary, the  montli  of  least  activity,  formed  only  12.9  per 
cent  of  the  number  employed  during  September.

The  most  important  distinction  shown  is  that  be- 
tween corporate  and  all  other  forms  of  ownership.  Of 
the  total  number  of  establishments  reported  as  en- 
gaged in  manufacturing  industries  in  1909,  25.9  per 
cent  were  under  corporate  ownership.  The  corre- 
sponding figure  for  1904  was  23.6  per  cent.  Wliile  cor- 
porations thus  controlled  only  about  one-fourth  of  the 
total  number  of  establishments,  they  gave  employ- 
ment to  a large  proportion  of  all  wage  earners  reported, 
namely,  75.6  per  cent  in  1909  and  70.6  per  cent  in  1904. 
The  value  of  the  products  of  the  factories  operated  by 
corporations  represented  79  per  cent  of  the  total  value 
of  products  for  all  establishments  in  1909  and  73.7  per 
cent  in  1904.  These  figures  show  that  even  during 
this  short  period  of  five  years  the  corporate  form  of 
ownership  increased  so  greatly  that  it  represented  an 
appreciably  larger  proportion  of  the  manufacturing 
interests  of  the  country  in  1909  than  in  1904. 


Partnerships  (including  limited  partnersliips)  con- 
trolled about  one-fifth  of  the  total  number  of  manu- 
facturing establishments  in  1909,  and  individuals 
rather  more  than  one-half  of  the  total  number.  These 
two  classes  of  establishments  were  about  equal  in  vol- 
ume of  business,  each  reporting  in  the  neighborhood  of 
one-eighth  of  the  total  number  of  wage  earners  and 
one-tenth  of  the  total  value  of  products  in  1909.  Dur- 
ing the  five  years  from  1904  to  1909  partnersliips  lost 
ground,  relatively,  to  a greater  degree  than  indi- 
vidual ownership,  presumably  because  of  the  incor- 
poration of  many  concerns  previously  operated  by 
firms. 

In  1909  there  were  4,120  establisliments  operated  by 
cooperative  companies  and  other  miscellaneous  forms 
of  ownership  that  could  not  be  classified  as  indi- 
vidual, firm,  or  corporate  ownersliip.  These  establish-  , 
ments  gave  employment  to  only  two-tenths  of  1 per 
cent  of  the  wage  earners,  and  the  value  of  their  prod- 
ucts was  only  five-tenths  of  1 per  cent  of  the  total  value 
reported  for  all  establishments. 

From  1904  to  1909  the  average  number  of  wage 
earners  per  establishment  decreased  for  all  three  prin- 
cipal classes  of  ownership,  while  the  average  value  of 
products  per  establishment  decreased  for  the  estab- 
lishments under  individual  and  firm  ownersliip  but  in- 
creased for  corporate  ownership. 

Proportion  of  business  done  by  corporations  in  the 
principal  industries:  1909  and  1904. — Table  21,  on  the 
following  page,  shows,  for  the  principal  industries,  the 
number  of  manufacturing  establishments  operated  by 
corporations  in  1909  and  1904,  and  the  percentage 
which  they  represent  of  the  entire  number  of  establish- 
ments; also  the  value  of  the  manufactured  products 
made  in  establishments  under  corporate  ownership  and 
the  percentage  which  this  represents  of  the  total 
value.  The  figures  as  to  total  value,  on  which  the 
percentages  are  based,  will  be  found  in  Table  110. 
Two  important  mdustries,  the  repair  shops  of  steam 
railroads  and  the  smelting  and  refhiing  of  copper,  are 
not  shown  separately  in  this  table,  as  to  do  so  would 
disclose  the  operations  of  individual  establishments. 

This  table  shows  tliat  in  industries  where  a large 
investment  in  plant  and  machinery  is  necessary  to 
the  proper  conduct  of  the  business,  the  estabUsh- 
ments  are  as  a rule  operated  by  corporations,  it 
being  easier  under  this  form  of  ownersliip  to  obtain 
the  necessary  capital.  All  of  the  estabUshments  en- 
gaged in  the  smelting  and  refining  of  lead  in  1909  were 
operated  by  corporations,  and  more  than  90  per  cent 
of  the  blast  furnaces,  steel  works  and  rolhng  mills, 
cottonseed-oil  mills,  and  establishments  manufactur- 
ing steam-railroad  cars  were  under  this  form  of 
ownership.  The  general  tendency  has  been  toward 
an  increase  in  the  proportion  of  the  establishments 
operated  by  corporations,  and  35  of  the  41  selected

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


industries  show  uu  increase  in  this  respect.  In  24  of 
the  41  selected  industries,  less  than  50  per  cent  of  the 
establishments  were  operated  by  corporations. 

As  a rule  corpoiations  control  a much  larger  pro- 
portion of  the  output  of  manufactures  than  they  do  of 
the  number  of  establishments.  In  16  of  the  41  indus- 
tries the  value  of  the  products  reported  by  corporations 
formed  in  1909  more  than  90  per  cent  of  the  value 


reported  for  all  establishments,  and  in  all  but  5 of  the 
industries  the  corporations  reported  more  than  50  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  products.  In  only  1 of  the 
selected  industries,  the  manufacture  of  women’s 
clotliing,  did  the  proportion  of  the  total  value  of  prod- 
ucts reported  by  corporations  fall  as  low  as  one-fourth. 
In  this  industry  it  formed  only  2.3.6  per  cent  of  the 
total  value  reported  for  1909.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


'I'ablo  22  shows  that  ia  most  of  the  states  in  1909 
the  number  of  manufacturing  establishments  owned 
by  corporations  represented  between  one-fifth  and 
one-third  of  the  total  number  of  manufacturing  estab- 
lishments. Vermont,  North  Dakota,  Nebraska,  Maiy- 
land,  and  Virginia  were  the  only  states  in  which  less 
than  one-fifth  of  the  establishments  were  owned  by 
corjiorations,  and  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut,  Ohio, 
Louisiana,  and  five  states  in  the  western  part  of 
the  country  were  the  only  ones  in  which  over  one- 
third  were  under  this  form  of  ownership.  In  a 
large  majority  of  the  states  the  proportion  of  es- 
tablishments operated  by  corporations  was  larger  in 
1909  than  in  1904,  the  exceptions  being  Nebraska, 
Virginia,  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  Tennessee,  Ala- 
bama, Mississippi,  Arkansas,  Montana,  Idaho,  Wyo- 
ming, and  Arizona. 

In  most  of  the  states  between  three-fifths  and  nine- 
tenths  of  the  total  value  of  manufactured  products  in 
1909  was  reported  by  establishments  under  corporate 

SIZE  OF  ESI 

Summary  for  United  States.— The  tendency  for 
manufacturing  to  become  concentrated  in  large  estab- 
lishments, or  the  reverse,  is  a matter  of  interest  from 
the  standpoint  of  industrial  organization.  In  order 
to  throw  some  light  upon  it.  Table  23  groups  the 
establishments  in  all  industries  combined  according 
to  the  value  of  their  products,  and  shows  for  each 
group,  for  1909  and  1904,  the  number  of  wage  earners, 
value  of  products,  and  value  added  by  manufacture, 
together  with  the  percentage  of  the  respective  totals 
represented  by  each  group.  It  also  gives  the  average 
size  of  establishments  as  measured  by  these  three 
items;  the  changes  in  this  average  are,  however,  much 
less  significant  than  the  changes  in  the  percentages 
for  the  several  groups. 

Of  the  268,491  establishments  reported  as  engaged 
in  manufacturing  industries  in  1909,  there  were  3,060, 
or  1.1  per  cent,  whose  products  were  valued  at  more 
than  $1,000,000  each.  The  corresponding  figures  for 
1904  were  1,900  establishments  out  of  216,180,  or 
nine-tenths  of  1 per  cent.  Wilde  these  establishments 
represented  a comparatively  small  proportion  of  the 
total  number  of  establishments,  they  gave  employment 
to  a much  larger  projiortion  of  all  the  wage  earners 
reported,  namely,  30.5  per  cent  in  1909  and  25.6  per 
cent  in  1904.  The  value  of  protlucts  of  such  estab- 
lishments represented  43.8  per  cent  of  the  total  value 
of  products  in  1909  and  38  per  cent  in  1904. 

The  figures  indicate  that  establishments  of  this  class 
produced  a considerably  larger  proportion  of  the  manu- 
factures of  the  country  in  1909  than  in  1904.  It 
should  be  noted  that  the  increased  proportion  is  due 
partly  to  the  fact  that  certain  establishments  included 
m the  other  groups  in  1904  were  included  in  this  group 
in  1909  as  the  result  of  an  increase  in  the  value  of 
their  output. 


ownership.  The  only  state  in  which  the  proportion 
was  less  than  three-fifths  was  South  Dakota,  while  in 
Connecticut,  South  Carolina,  Montana,  Colorado,  Ari- 
zona, Utah,  and  Nevada  the  proportion  was  nine- 
tenths  or  more.  Among  the  great  manufacturing 
states,  New  York  is  conspicuous  for  the  comparatively 
small  proportion,  62.6  per  cent,  of  the  value  of  its  prod- 
ucts contributed  by  this  class  of  establishments.  In 
almost  every  state  a larger  percentage  of  the  total 
value  of  products  was  reported  by  such  establishments 
in  1909  than  in  1904,  thus  indicating  that  the  tendency 
toward  the  incorporation  of  manufacturing  concerns, 
particularly  the  larger  concerns,  is  general  and  to  a 
considerable  degree  independent  of  variations  in  state 
legislation  regarding  corporations.  The  only  states  in 
which  the  proportion  of  the  total  value  produced  by 
corporations  was  less  in  1909  than  in  1904  are  Nebraska, 
Delaware,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  Montana,  Wyoming, 
New  Mexico,  and  Arizona,  and  the  difference  in  each 
case  was  slight.

In  1909  establishments  with  a ])roduct  valued  be- 
tween $100,000  and  $1,000,000,  gave  employment  to 
43.8  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners,  and  the  value  of  their 
products  formed  38.4  j)er  cent  of  the  total.  Establish- 
ments with  a product  valued  between  $20,000  and 
$100,000  gave  employment  to  about  one-sixth  of  the 
wage  earners,  and  the  value  of  their  products  formed 
about  one-eighth  of  the  total.  The  establishments  which 


STAT1^:S,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


had  a product  valued  between  $5,000  and  $20,000,  con- 
stituted about  one-third  of  the  whole  number,  but  gave 
employment  to  only  7.1  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners, 
and  the  Vidue  of  their  products  formed  oidy  4.4  per  cent 
of  the  total.  Establishments  that  had  a product  in 
1909  valued  at  less  than  $5,000  also  formed  about  one- 
third  of  the  total  number,  but  they  gave  employment  to 
only  2.2  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners  au<l  turned  out 
products  whoso  value  amounted  to  only  1.1  per  cent 
of  the  total.  In  this  class  of  establishments  a large 
proportion  of  the  work  was  done  by  the  proprietors 
and  firm  members. 

Of  the  five  classes  designated,  the  class  of  establish- 
ments with  products  valued  at  $1,000,000  or  over  is 
the  only  one  that  reported  a larger  proportion  of  the 
total  value  of  products  in  1909  than  in  1904,  every 
other  class  having  lost  relatively.  The  same  state- 
ment is  true  as  to  the  number  of  wage  earners,  except 
that  the  establishments  of  smallest  size,  as  well  as 
those  of  largest  size,  have  gained  somewhat  in  their 
proportion  of  the  total  number  emploj^ed.

During  the  five  years  1904-1909  the  average  value 
of  products  ):)er  establishment  increased  from  $68,4.33 
to  $76,993,  and  the  average  value  added  by  manu- 
facture from  $29,113  to  $31,767.  These  changes  can 
scarcely  be  taken  as  in  themselves  indicating  a tend- 
ency toward  concentration,  as  the  increased  values 
shown  are  due  in  part  to  the  increase  that  has  taken 
])lace  in  the  prices  of  commodities.  The  average  num- 
ber of  wage  earners  per  establishment  was  the  same  at 
the  two  censuses,  namely,  25. 

Relative  importance  of  large  establishments  in  the 
principal  industries:  1909  and  1904. — The  following 
table  shows  for  the  principal  industries  of  the  United 
States,  for  1909  and  1904,  the  number  of  estab- 
lishments manufacturing  products  to  the  value  of 
$1,000,000  or  more,  and  the  percentage  wliich  such 
establishments  represent  of  the  total  number  of  estab- 
lishments; also  the  value  of  products  made  by  estab- 
lishments of  this  class  and  the  proportion  which  that 
value  represents  of  the  total  for  all  establishments  in 
the  industry.

ABSTllACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


'I'lio  total  value  of  j)ro(]ucts  for  cadi  industry  as  a 
wJiole,  from  whidi  the  percentages  in  the  last  two  col- 
umns are  calculated,  ajipears  in  Table  110.  Three 
important  industries,  the  manufacture  of  leather 
goods,  marble  and  stonework,  and  sugar  and  molasses, 
are  not  shown  in  the  table  in  order  to  avoid  the  dis- 
closure of  individual  operations. 

While  the  gross  value  of  products  is  in  some  respects 
not  the  best  criterion  of  the  relative  irnjiortance  of 
dilfercnt  industries  or  of  different  states  or  sections  in 
res  fleet  to  manufacturing  business,  it  is  a fairly  satis- 
factory standard  for  comparing  different  classes  of 
establishments  within  the  same  industry.  Table  24 
shows,  as  might  be  expected,  exceedingly  wide  varia- 
tion among  the  different  industries  in  respect  to  the 
proportion  of  large  establishments,  and  in  I’espect  to 
the  proportion  of  the  total  value  of  products  which  is 
reported  by  such  establishments.  The  industry  in 
which  establishments  reporting  products  to  the  value 
of  .11,000,000  or  more  constitute  the  largest  propor- 
tion of  the  total  number  of  establishments  is  the 
smelting  and  refining  of  copper,  followed,  in  order,  bj^ 
the  smelting  and  refining  of  lead,  steel  works  and  rolling 
mills,  blast  furnaces,  the  refining  of  petroleum,  and  the 
construction  of  steam-railroad  cars.  In  each  of  these 
industries  in  1909  establishments  of  this  class  consti- 
tuted more  than  one-fifth  of  the  total  number,  and  in  the 
smelting  and  refining  of  copper  they  constituted  about 
five-sixths  of  the  total.  In  these  industries,  moreover, 
establishments  of  this  size  reported  exceptionally  high 
proportions  of  the  total  value  of  products.  The  smelt- 
ing and  refining  of  lead  and  of  copper  ranked  Ifighest  in 
this  respect,  with  99.2  and  99  per  cent,  respectively,  of 
the  total  value  of  products  I’eported  by  estabhshments 
with  a value  of  products  above  .11,000,000.  The  slaugh- 
tering and  meat-packing  industry,  also,  though  its  pro- 
portion of  large  establishments  is  not  conspicuously 
high,  shows  a very  high  proportion  of  the  total  value 
of  products,  85.8  per  cent,  reported  from  such  estab- 
lishments. 

On  the  other  hand,  there  are  a number  of  industries 
in  which  the  smaller  establishments  predominate  and 
in  which  only  a very  small  proportion  of  the  total 
value  of  products  is  contributed  by  establishments 
manufacturing  products  to  the  value  of  .11,000,000  or 
more.  In  the  bakery,  butter,  cheese,  and  condensed- 
milk,  women’s  clothing,  furniture,  and  lumber  indus- 
tries the  proportion  of  the  total  value  of  products 
reported  by  such  establishments  is  less  than  10  per 
cent,  and  there  are  several  other  industries  of  impor- 
tance in  which  the  proportion  is  less  than  20  per  cent. 

In  practically  every  industry  named  in  the  table  the 
number  of  establishments  manufacturing  products  to 
the  value  of  $1,000,000  or  more  increased  materially 


from  1904  to  1909,  and  constituted  a larger  proportion 
of  the  total  number  of  establishments  in  the  later  year 
than  in  the  earlier.  In  the  same  way  the  value  of  the 
products  of  such  establishments  in  nearly  every  indus- 
try constituted  a larger  proportion  of  the  total  value 
in  1909  than  in  1904,  the  only  exceptions  being  in 
the  manufacture  of  electrical  machinery,  apparatus, 
and  supplies,  the  construction  of  railroad  cars,  the 
illuminating-gas  industry,  the  distillery  industry,  and 
the  refining  of  petroleum. 

Relative  importance  of  large  establishments,  by- 
states:  1909  and  1904. — Table  25  presents,  by  states 
grouped  according  to  geographic  divisions,  statistics 
showing  the  relative  importance  of  the  establishments 
having  a product  valued  at  $1,000,000  or  over  for 
the  census  years  1909  and  1904.  Certain  states  are 
not  shown  separately,  as  to  do  so  would  disclose  indi- 
vidual operations. 

The  differences  among  the  several  states  with  re- 
spect to  the  extent  to  which  manufacturing  is  carried 
on  in  large  establishments  are  dependent  in  part  upon 
the  character  of  the  industries  predominant  in  each 
state.  It  also  depends  in  part  upon  the  degree  to 
which  those  industries  have  been  develo])ed;  in  those 
states  in  which  manufactures  are  extensive  the  large 
estabhshments  are  likely,  other  conditions  being  equal, 
to  do  a greater  proportion  of  the  manufacturing  than  in 
states  where  manufactures  are  relatively  unimportant. 

The  state  in  wliich  establishments  manufacturing 
products  to  tlie  value  of  $1,000,000  or  more  represented 
the  largest  proportion  of  the  total  number  of  estab- 
lishments in  1909  was  Rhode  Island,  with  3.5  per  cent, 
followed  by  Arizona  and  Massachusetts,  in  the  order 
named.  The  proportion  in  New  York,  the  leading  man- 
ufacturing state,  was  comparatively  low,  1 per  cent. 
There  are  several  states  in  which  such  establishments 
represented  only  a small  fraction  of  1 per  cent  of  the 
total  number. 

In  most  of  the  states  the  large  establishments  con- 
tributed a very  considerable  proportion  of  the  entire 
value  of  manufactured  products.  The  state  in  which 
this  proportion  was  the  highest  in  1909  is  Arizona, 
with  84.1  per  cent,  followed  by  Nebraska,  Montana, 
Kansas,  New  Jersey,  Illinois,  Utah,  and  Pennsylva- 
nia, in  each  of  which  states  the  products  of  establish- 
ments of  this  class  represented  more  than  one-half 
of  the  total  value.  The  predominance  of  the  smelting 
and  refining  of  copper  and  lead  in  the  Mountain  states 
named,  of  the  slaughtering  and  meat-packing  industry 
in  Kansas  and  Nebraska,  of  the  slaughtering  and  the 
iron  and  steel  industries  in  Illinois,  of  the  iron  and  steel 
industry  in  Pennsylvania,  and  of  the  smelting  and  refm- 
ing  of  copper  and  the  relining,  of  petroleum  in  New 
Jersey  serve  in  a large  measure  to  ex})lain  these  high

percentages.  In  New  York,  the  most  important  manu- 
facturing state,  37 per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products 
was  reported  by  establishments  of  the  class  under  con- 
sideration, this  com])aratively  low  percentage  being 
the  result  in  part  of  the  great  magnitude  in  that  state 


of  the  clothing  industries,  which  are  mostly  conducted 
in  small  establishments.  Of  the  states  given  in  the 
table  tliose  in  which  the  proportion  of  the  total  value 
of  products  reported  by  large  establishments  is  less  than 
10  per  cent  are  Oklahoma,  Arkansas,  and  Florida.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES 


Establishments  grouped  according  to  number  of  wage 
earners:  1909. — In  sonic  respects,  and  especially  from 
the  standpoint  of  conditions  under  which  persons  en- 
gaged in  manufactures  work,  the  best  classification 
of  estahlishmcnts  to  bring  out  the  feature  of  size  is  a 
classification  according  to  the  number  of  wage  earners 
employed,  wliich  is  shown  by  Table  26.

Of  the  268,491  establishments  reported  for  all  in- 
dustries, 10.3  per  cent  employed  no  wage  earners;  50.8 
per  cent,  from  1 to  5;  21.3  per  cent,  6 to  20;  and  8.8 
per  cent,  21  to  50.  The  most  numerous  single  group 
consists  of  the  136,289  establishments  employing  from 
1 to  5 wage  earners,  and  the  next  of  the  57,198  estab- 
lishments employing  from  6 to  20  wage  earners. 
There  were  4,668  establishments  that  reported  the 
employment  of  over  250  wage  earners ; 540  of  these 
employed  over  1,000. 

The  single  group  having  the  largest  number  of  wage 
earners  was  the  group  comprising  the  establishments 
employing  from  101  to  250.  This  group  employed 
1,258,639  wage  earners,  or  19  per  cent  of  the  total 
number. 

Table  27  shows,  for  1909,  for  all  industries  combined 
and  for  43  industries  individually  the  number  of  estab- 
lishments and  average  number  of  w'age  earners,  by 
groups,  and  the  percentage  of  wage  earners  in  each 
group  for  these  industries.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  EXPENSES. 


Expenses  in  leading  industries. — As  stated  in  the 
Introduction,  the  census  does  not  puij)oit  to  furnish 
figures  tlmt  can  be  used  for  determining  the  total  cost 
of  manufacture  and  consequently  the  profits.  Facts 
of  interest  can,  however,  be  brought  out  concerning 
the  relative  imj)ortanco  of  those  classes  of  expenses 
which  are  reported.  The  following  table  shows  in 
percentages  the  distribution  of  these  expenses  among 
tlie  classes  indicated,  for  all  industries  combined  and 
for  the  43  principal  industries  separately.

This  table  shows  that,  for  all  industries  combined, 
65.8  per  cent  of  the  total  expenses  reported  were  in- 
curred for  materials,  23.7  per  cent  for  services  (that  is, 
salaries  and  wages),  and  10.5  per  cent  for  other  pur- 
poses. As  would  be  expected,  these  pro])ortions  vary 
greatly  in  the  different  industries.  The  item  of  sala- 
ries takes  on  large  proportions  in  such  industries  as 
the  gas  industry,  the  manufacture  of  patent  medi- 
cines, and  ])rinting  and  publishing,  which  require  a 


large  force  of  employees  for  accounting  and  collecting. 
The  industries  for  which  the  liighest  percentages  for 
wages  are  shown — in  each  case  over  30  per  cent — are 
marble  and  stone  work,  steam-railroad  repair  shops, 
the  lumber  and  timber  industry,  and  the  furniture 
industry.  The  cost  of  materials  constituted  over 
90  per  cent  of  the  expenses  reported  in  the  smelting 
and  refining  of  copper  and  lead,  flour  and  grist 
milling  and  the  manufacture  of  sugar  and  molasses, 
slaughtering  and  meat  pacldng,  and  the  butter, 
cheese,  and  condensed-milk  industry.  Miscellaneous 
expenses,  which  are  made  up  principally  of  rent,  taxes, 
insurance,  and  advertising,  are  relatively  largest  in  the 
distillery  and  brewery  industries,  the  manufacture  of 
patent  medicines  and  compounds,  and  the  tobacco- 
products  industry,  all  of  which  are  subject  to  internal- 
revenue  taxes;  they  are  also  large  in  the  gas  and  the 
printing  and  publishing  industries. 

Expenses,  by  states. — Table  30  shows,  for  each  geo- 
graphic division  and  each  state,  the  per  cent  distri- 
bution in  1909  of  the  total  expenses  reported  among 
the  principal  items. 

The  variation  among  the  several  divisions  and 
states  in  the  percentage  of  the  total  expenses  which 
is  represented  by  each  class  follows  closely  the  varia- 
tion in  the  character  of  the  predominating  industries. 
Thus  the  percentage  of  expenses  incurred  for  materials 
is  highest  and  that  incurred  for  wages  lowest  in  the 
West  North  Central  division,  this  condition  being  due 
to  the  predominating  importance  in  those  states  of  the 
flour-milling  and  the  slaughtering  industries,  in  which 
materials  contribute  the  greater  part  of  the  value  of 
products.  The  proportion  of  expenses  ineurred  for 
materials  is  also  high  in  the  Mountain  division,  on 
account  of  the  influence  of  the  smelting  and  refining 
industries.  Wages  represent  the  highest  percentage 
of  the  total  expenses,  23.7,  in  the  New  England 
division,  where  the  textile  and  other  highly  elaborative 
industries  predominate. 

Among  the  individual  states  the  highest  percentage 
for  materials  is  shown  for  Kansas  and  the  next  highest 
for  Nebraska,  wliile  tliis  percentage  is  lowest  in  Florida; 
the  highest  percentages  for  wages  are  shown  for 
Wyoming,  New  Mexico,  and  Florida,  in  the  order 
named.  Among  the  great  manufacturing  states  of 
the  East  and  North  there  is  no  very  great  variation  in 
the  distribution  of  expenses  among  the  various  items. 
Of  the  10  most  important  manufacturing  states, 
Massachusetts  has  the  higliest  proportion  for  wages 
and  is  among  the  lowest  for  miscellaneous  expenses. 

The  exeeptionally  high  percentage  for  miscella- 
neous expenses  in  Kentucky,  25.8,  is  due  to  the 
importance  there  of  the  distillery  industry,  in  the 
miscellaneous  expenses  of  which  are  included  very 
large  sums  paid  as  internal-revenue  tax.

ENGINES  AND  POWER. 


Summary  for  United  States:  1909,  1904,  and  1899. — 
The  following  table  shows  for  all  industries  combined 
the  number  of  engines  or  motors  employed  by  manu- 
facturing concerns  and  their  horsepower  at  the 
censuses  of  1909,  1904,  and  1899.  The  figures  for  the 
total  primary  power  used  exclude  duphcations  and 
represent  the  primary  power  of  engines,  water  wheels, 
etc.,  owned  by  the  manufacturing  establishments 


themselves  plus  the  electric  or  other  power  rented 
from  outside  concerns.  A separate  presentation  is 
made  of  the  number  and  horsepower  of  electric  motors 
operated  by  current  generated  within  the  establish- 
ments, which,  of  course,  as  it  represents  secondary 
power,  is  not  included  in  the  totals.  This  item  plus 
the  electric  power  rented  makes  up  the  total  for  electric 
powder,  which  is  shown  separately.

The  total  horsepower  of  manufacturing  establish- 
ments was  18,675,376  in  1909,  as  compared  with 
13,487,707  in  1904  and  10,097,893  in  1899.  In  1909, 
90  per  cent  of  the  horsepower  was  that  of  engines  or 


motors  owned  by  the  manufacturing  establishments 
themselves,  and  10  per  cent  was  rented  power,  mostly 
electric.  Especially  striking  is  the  increase  in  the  use 
of  gas  engines  and  of  electric  power,  both  that  rented

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES 


from  outside  concerns  and  that  generated  by  tlie  manu- 
facturing concerns  tliemselvcs.  The  total  liorsepower 
of  electric  motors  in  1899,  including  both  those  oper- 
ated by  purchased  current  and  those  oj)erated  by 
current  generated  in  the  establishment,  was  492,936; 
in  1909  it  was  4,817,140,  or  nearly  ten  times  as  great. 
The  practice  of  renting  electric  power  is  rapidly  becom- 
ing more  common  among  small  establislunents  and 
even  among  large  establishments,  while  the  large 
concerns  more  and  more  tend  to  use  electric  motors 


for  the  purpose  of  applying  the  power  which  they 
themselves  generate. 

The  amount  of  water  power  owned  by  manufactur- 
ing establishments  shows  only  a comparatively  moder- 
ate rate  of  increase  during  the  decade,  but  not  a little 
of  the  electric  power  rented  by  manufacturers  is  gener- 
ated in  the  first  instance  by  utilizing  water  power. 

Horsepower,  by  leading  industries. — The  following

This  table  shows  very  wide  differences  among  the 
industries  with  respect  to  the  relative  importance  of 
the  several  kinds  of  power.  These  differences  are  due 
partly  to  differences  in  the  geographic  location  of  the 
industries,  which  alFect  the  character  of  power  avail- 
able, and  partly  to  differences  in  the  character  of 
machinery  used,  which  affect  the  adaptability  of  the 
different  kinds  of  power. 

The  power  developed  by  the  use  of  gas  engines 
represents  a larger  proportion  of  the  total  power 
employed  in  establishments  engaged  in  the  manu- 


facture of  carriages  and  wagons,  flour  mills  and  grist- 
mills, foundries  and  machine  shops,  blast  furnaces, 
steel  works  and  rolling  mills,  lumber  mills,  and  print- 
ing and  publishing  establishments  than  in  any  of  the 
other  industries  listed.  The  largest  absolute  amount 
of  power  derived  from  gas  engines  is  reported  for  the 
blast  furnaces,  and  the  next  largest  for  the  foundries 
and  machine  shops. 

A very  large  proportion  of  the  total  power  derived 
from  water  wheels  is  used  in  four  industries,  namely, 
the  manufacture  of  cotton  goods,  (lour  mills  and  grist-

STATES,  CTTIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


mills,  the  lumber  and  timber  jiroducts  industry,  and 
the  manufacture  of  paper  and  wood  ])ulp.  In  the 
last-mentioned  industry  the  horsepower  developed 
by  water  wheels  amounts  to  785,961,  about  60  per 
cent  of  the  total  power  used  in  that  industry. 

The  extent  to  wliich  electric  motors  are  utilized  in 
applying  the  power  employed  varies  considerably  in 
the  different  industries.  In  a considerable  number 
of  industries  the  electric  power,  including  that  gen- 
erated by  the  manufacturing  establisliments  them- 
selves and  that  rented  from  other  concerns,  is  equal 
to  more  than  one-half  of  the  total  primary  power. 
These  industries  are  the  manufacture  of  automobiles, 
bread  and  other  bakery  products,  the  construction 
of  steam-railroad  cars,  the  repair  shops  of  steam- 
railroad  companies,  the  chemical  industry,  the  making 
of  men’s  and  of  women’s  clothing,  the  manufacture  of 
electrical  machinery,  apparatus,  and  supplies,  the 
foundry  and  macliine-shop  industry,  the  manufacture 
of  leather  goods,  and  the  printing  and  publishing 
industry.  In  the  electrical-machinery  industry  the 
horsepower  of  electric  motors  installed  is  greater  than 
the  total  primary  power;  this  may  be  accounted  for 
by  reason  of  the  provision  of  motors  for  the  operation 
of  machinery  which  is  not  in  constant  use.  The 
largest  absolute  amount  of  electric  power  is  reported 
by  the  steel  works  and  rolling  mills,  and  the  next 
largest,  by  the  foundries  and  machine  shops.  In  the 
former  the  electric  power  is  equal  to  a little  over 
one-third  of  the  total  amount  of  primary  power  and 
in  the  latter  to  nearly  three- fourths. 

Horsepower,  by  states:  1909. — Table  33  shows,  by 
states  grouped  according  to  geographic  divisions,  the 
amount  of  each  of  the  several  kinds  of  power  used 
in  manufacturing  industries  in  1909. 

The  rank  of  the  states  with  respect  to  the  amount 
of  power  used  in  manufacturing  industries  is  some- 
what different  from  that  with  respect  to  value  of 
products  and  other  leading  items  in  the  statistics 
of  manufactures.  Although  New  York  ranks  first 
among  the  states  in  most  of  the  leading  items,  Penn- 
sylvania outranks  it  in  respect  to  the  amount  of  power 
used  in  manufacturing  industries.  New  York  stands 
second,  Ohio  third,  Massachusetts  fourth,  and  Illinois 
fifth.  The  relative  total  amount  of  power  used  is 
largely  dependent  upon  the  character  of  the  industries 
predominant  in  each  division  or  state.  The  relative 
extent  to  winch  the  different  kinds  of  power  are  used 
in  the  several  divisions  and  states  is  also  dependent 
in  part  upon  the  character  of  the  industries  and  in 
part  upon  the  situation  of  each  state  with  reference  to 
supplies  of  coal,  petroleum,  and  gas,  and  with  reference 
to  the  availability  of  water  power. 

In  every  division — in  fact  in  every  state,  except 
Maine  and  Vermont — steam  engines  are  the  most  im- 
portant source  of  power.  The  proportion  winch  power 
generated  by  gas  engines  represents  of  the  total  power 


is  larger  in  the  East  North  Central  division  than  in 
any  other  division,  partly  on  account  of  the  ])roximity 
of  gas  wells.  The  Middle  Atlantic  states  rank  next  in 
the  proportion  of  the  total  power  which  is  developed 
by  gas  engines.  With  resf)ect  to  power  obtained  from 
water  wheels  owned  by  the  manufacturing  establish- 
ments, New  England  ranks  far  ahead  of  the  other  divi- 
sions both  in  the  absolute  amount  of  power  and  in  the 
proportion  which  water  power  represents  of  the  total. 
More  than  two-fifths  of  the  total  power  derived  from 
water  wheels  owned  by  manufacturing  establishments 
is  found  in  New  England,  and  more  than  one-fourth 
of  the  total  power  utilized  by  the  factories  of  New 
England  is  derived  from  water  wheels.  The  Middle 
Atlantic  division  ranks  next  in  this  respect.  The 
largest  absolute  amounts  of  power  utilized  by  means  of 
electric  motors  (including  both  those  operated  by  pur- 
chased current  and  those  operated  by  current  generated 
in  the  establishment)  are  reported  from  the  Middle 
Atlantic  division,  the  East  North  Central  division,  and 
New  England,  in  the  order  named,  and  in  these  three 
divisions  also  the  proportion  which  electric  power  rep- 
resents of  the  total  is  unusually  large,  no  very  great 
difference  appearing  among  the  three  divisions  in  tins 
respect.  The  proportion  of  electric  power  is  also  liigh 
in  the  Mountain,  Pacific,  and  West  North  Central 
divisions. 

The  individual  states  which  lead  in  the  use  of  gas 
engines  to  develop  power  are  Pennsylvania,  Indiana, 
Oliio,  New  York,  Ilhnois,  Kansas,  and  New  Jersey,  in 
the  order  named.  The  absolute  amount  of  power  of 
this  character  is  greatest  in  Pennsylvania,  and  the  pro- 
portion winch  such  power  represents  of  the  total  power 
used  is  greatest  in  Indiana.  The  power  derived  from 
water  wheels  owned  by  manufacturing  establishments 
is  greater  in  New  York  than  in  any  other  state,  but  the 
proportion  which  such  power  represents  of  the  total 
power  is  greatest  in  Maine.  Other  leading  states  in 
respect  to  the  absolute  amount  of  such  water  power 
are  Massachusetts,  Wisconsin,  New  Hampsliire,  Ver- 
mont, Connecticut,  Minnesota,  Pennsylvania,  Oregon, 
Virginia,  North  Carolina,  and  Miclugan;  the  leading 
states  in  respect  to  the  proportion  which  it  represents 
of  the  total  power  are  Vermont,  New  Hampsliire, 
Oregon,  Wisconsin,  New  York,  Minnesota,  Connecticut, 
Massachusetts,  Virginia,  and  Montana. 

In  the  absolute  amount  of  electric  power  utilized  for 
manufacturing,  Pennsylvania  leads  and  is  followed  by 
New  York,  Oliio,  Massachusetts,  Illinois,  Inchana,  and 
New  Jersey,  in  the  order  named.  With  respect  to  the 
proportion  wliich  electric  power  represents  of  the  total 
Nevada  ranks  first,  and  is  followed  by  California, 
Utah,  Illinois,  New  York,  Montana,  Arizona,  Indiana, 
and  Massachusetts  in  the  order  named.  In  Nevada 
the  power  of  electric  motors  forms  54.1  per  cent  and 
in  California  40.3  per  cent  of  the  total  power  reported 
for  these  states.

STATES,  CUTES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 

SUPPLEMENTARY  DATA  REGARDING  IMPORTANT  INDUSTRIES. 


(With  statistics  tor  laundries  and  custom  sawmills  and  gristmills.) 


For  certain  industries  the  Census  Bureau  collects,  by 
means  of  special  schedules,  details  regarding  the  quan- 
tity and  value  of  materials  and  products  and  other 
information  for  securing  which  no  provision  is  made  on 
the  general  schedule.  Data  of  this  character  are  here 
presented  for  a number  of  important  industries.  As 
far  as  possible  the  statistics  are  grouped  according  to 
the  character  of  the  finished  products.  The  statistics 
in  each  table  relate  to  the  United  States  as  a whole, 
not  mcluding  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Porto  Rico,  or  other 
outl3''ing  possessions. 

FOOD  AND  B3NDRED  PRODUCTS. 

Butter,  cheese,  and  condensed  milk. — The  following 
table  presents  statistics  for  the  butter,  cheese,  and 
condensed-milk  industry.  The  figures  cover  only  the 
manufacture  of  the  factory ‘products.  The  statistics 
for  this  class  of  products  made  on  farms  are  not  avail- 


able for  1909;  in  1899,  however,  1,071,620,056  jiounds 
of  butter  and  16,372,318  pounds  of  cheese  were  made 
on  farms,  of  which  518,042,767  pounds  of  butter  and 
14,692,542  pounds  of  cheese  were  sold. 

The  value  of  the  factory  products  of  this  industry 
more  than  doubled  during  the  period  1899-1909. 
Condensed  milk,  for  which  the  ratio  of  increase  was 
highest,  nearly  trebled  in  value,  while  butter  more  than 
doubled.  Since  1899  the  increase  in  prices  has  been 
quite  })ronounced  in  tliis  industry,  as  shown  by  the 
fact  that  the  butter  product  increased  113.5  per  cent 
in  value  and  only  48.7  per  cent  in  quantity,  and  the 
output  of  cheese  63  per  cent  in  value  and  only  10.3 
per  cent  in  quantity.  As  shown  by  the  note  to  the 
table,  considerable  quantities  of  butter,  cheese,  and 
condensed  milk  were  produced  by  establishments 
engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  products 
other  than  those  covered  by  the  industry  designation.

Flour-mill  and  gristmill  products. — Table  36  presents 
statistics  for  flour-mills  and  gristmills,  hut  does 
not  include  data  for  establishments  engaged  ex- 
clusively in  custom  grhnling  (see  table  on  p.  513). 
The  total  quantity  of  all  kinds  of  grain  milled  in 
1909  was  806,247,961  bushels,  as  compared  with 
729,061,820  hushcls  in  1899,  an  increase  of  10.6  per 
cent.  The  largest  increases  were  in  wheat  and  corn,

STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTJilES. 


the  former  showing  a gain  of  about  25,000,000  bushels 
and  the  latter  a gain  of  about  29,000,000  bushels. 

The  increase  in  the  value  of  all  products  of  Hour 
mills  and  gristmills  for  the  period  1899-1909  was  76.2 
per  cent.  This  gain  was  due  mainly  to  advances  in 
price,  for  the  increases  in  quantity  were  relatively 
much  smaller.  'The  value  of  the  wheat  Hour  produced 
increased  64.7  per  cent,  but  its  quantity  only  6 per 
cent,  while  the  production  of  rye  Hour  increased  54 
per  cent  in  value  and  only  6.2  per  cent  in  quantity. 
The  figures  in  the  table  indicate  that  higher  unit 
values  prevailed  for  all  classes  of  products  during 
1909  than  during  the  two  prior  census  years.  For  the 
decade  as  a whole  the  percentage  of  increase  in  cost 
of  materials,  which  constitutes  by  far  the  greater  J 
part  of  the  value  of  products,  was,  however,  even  1 
higher  than  that  in  value  of  products.

Rice,  cleaning  and  polishing. — The  following  table 
presenting  statistics  for  the  cleaning  and  polishing  of 


rice  includes  the  quantity  of  rice  milled,  whether  on 
a custom  or  exchange  basis  or  in  merchant  mills. 
In  1909  there  were  974,747,475  pounds  of  rice  treated, 
as  compared  with  398,602,018  pounds  in  1899,  an 
increase  of  144.5  per  cent.  The  amount  for  1909, 
however,  was  a little  less  than  that  for  1904.  In  1909 
there  were  only  3,873,735  pounds  of  foreign  rough  rice 
treated,  as  against  39,414,459  pounds  in  1899.  At- 
tention is  called  to  the  fact  that  in  1909  whole  rice 
formed  76.3  per  cent  of  the  total  quantity  of  cleaned 
rice  and  broken  rice  23.7  per  cent,  whereas  in  1904 
whole  rice  formed  65.9  per  cent  and  broken  rice  34.1 
per  cent  of  the  cleaned-rice  product.

Slaughtering  and  meat  packing. — Table  38  presents 
statistics  for  the  wholesale  slaughtering  and  meat- 
packing industry.  It  includes  the  manufacture  of 
sausage  when  done  in  connection  with  slaughtering 
or  meat  packing  or  when  carried  on  in  independent 
establishments,  but  it  does  not  include  the  rendering 
of  lard  in  independent  establishments  or  the  opera- 
tions of  retail  butchers.  The  cost  of  all  materials 
reported  for  the  industry  was  $1,202,827,784  in  1909 
and  $685,310,099  in  1899,  an  increase  of  75.5  per 
cent.  The  total  value  of  products  increased  from 
$788,367,647  in  1899  to  $1,370,568,101  in  1909,  or  73.8 
per  cent. 

A portion  of  the  dressed  meat  reported  as  material 
was  obtained  from  slaughtering  establishments  in- 
cluded in  the  tabulation,  and  therefore  is  duplicated 
in  the  total  value  of  products. 

On  account  of  the  higher  prices  in  1909,  the  per- 
centages of  increase  in  value  from  1899  to  1909  for 
the  different  kinds  of  products  are  somewhat  greater 
than  the  percentages  of  increase  in  quantity.  This  is

Sugar. — Tables  39,  40,  and  41  show  the  quantity 
and  value  of  the  products  made  from  sugar  beets 
and  sugar  cane  of  domestic  growth,  and  the  quantity 
of  beets  grown  and  the  acreage  devoted  to  this  crop. 
They  do  not  include  statistics  for  maple  sugar  and 
sirup,  or  for  sirup  produced  on  farms  from  sugar 
and  sorghum  cane,  or  the  data  for  establishments 
engaged  primarily  in  the  refining  of  cane  sugar  or 
molasses.  The  value  of  products  of  the  domestic  beet- 
sugar  and  cane-sugar  mills  amounted  to  $77,991,683. 
In  1909  the  value  of  products  of  the  refineries 
above  mentioned  aggregated  $248,628,659.  Of  this 
value  the  cost  of  materials,  which  consist  chiefly  of 
raw  sugar  imported  from  Cuba,  Porto  Rico,  Hawaii, 
and  the  Philipjiines,  represented  90.9  per  cent.  The 


combined  value  of  products  of  all  establishments 
producing  raw  or  refined  sugar  was  $326,620,342  in 
1909.  This  amount  includes  some  duplication  in  the 
case  of  raw  sugar  produced  by  cane  miUs  and  used  as 
material  for  the  refineries. 

As  shown  by  Tables  39,  40,  and  41,  the  total  pro- 
duction of  sugar  in  1 909  from  beets  and  cane  of  domestic 
growth  was  828,540  tons,  of  which  beet  sugar  consti- 
tuted 60.6  per  cent  and  cane  sugar  39.4  per  cent. 
The  output  of  beet  sugar  increased  more  than  five- 
fold in  quantity  since  1899,  while  the  production  of 
cane  sugar,  for  which  statistics  for  previous  censuses 
can  not  bo  presented  in  comparable  form,  has  in- 
creased but  slightly.  The  ion  of  2,000  poimds  is  used 
in  showing  (juantitics.

which  were  engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  products  other  than  those 
covered  by  the  industry  designation.  The  output  of  these  establishments  was 
7,281  tons  of  sugar  and  093,302  gallons  of  molasses. 

2 Cane  sugar  manufactured  direct  from  cane,  not  including  the  refining  of  raw

TEXTILES. 

Statistics  are  presented  for  several  branches  of  the 
textile  and  allied  manufacturing  industries,  designated 
as  follows:  Carpets  and  rugs,  other  than  rag;  cordage 
and  twine  and  jute  and  linen  goods;  cotton  goods,  in- 
cluding cotton  small  wares;  hats,  fur-felt;  hosiery  and 
knit  goods;  oilcloth  and  linoleum;  shoddy;  silk  and 
silk  goods,  including  throwsters;  and  woolen,  worsted, 
and  felt  goods,  and  wool  hats. 

Table  42  shows  the  development  of  the  textile 
industry  since  1850.  It  covers  all  the  industries 
mentioned  above  except  the  manufacture  of  fur-felt 
hats  and  of  oilcloth  and  linoleum,  for  which  statistics

The  combiaed  products  of  the  industry  in  1909 
were  valued  at  $1,684,636,499,  an  increase  of 
$744,583,811,  or  79.2  per  cent,  over  the  total  for  1899. 
The  total  includes  considerable  duplication  of  values, 
but  probably  no  more,  relatively,  than  at  previous 
censuses. 

The  percentage  of  increase  since  1899  is  the  highest 
for  any  decade  since  that  from  1859-1869.  In  1909 


cotton  goods  contributed  37.3  per  cent  of  the  value 
of  all  products  represented  in  the  total;  the  products 
of  the  woolen  industries,  including  carpets  and  rugs, 
30.1  per  cent;  hosiery  and  knit  goods,  11.9  per  cent; 
silk  goods,  11.7  per  cent;  cordage  and  twine  and  jute 
and  linen  goods,  3.6  per  cent;  shoddy,  four-tenths  of 
1 per  cent;  and  the  dyeing  and  finishing  of  textiles 
by  independent  establishments,  5 per  cent.

' Includes  some  accessory  spindles,  except  for  silk. 


The  percentage  of  increase  in  the  total  number  of 
spindles  was  greater  from  1899  to  1909  than  for  any 
other  decade  shown.  In  1909  cotton  spindles  formed 

83.2  per  cent  of  the  total  number,  silk  spindles  5.2  per 
cent,  and  woolen  and  worsted  spindles  combined  11.5 
per  cent.  In  1909  cotton  spindles  represented  a 
slightly  larger  proportion  of  all  spindles  than  in  1904 
and  1899  and  woolen  and  worsted  spindles  a slightly 
smaller  proportion. 

The  loom  equipment  of  active  estabhshments  at  the 
time  of  the  several  censuses,  beginning  with  that  of 
1869,  is  presented  in  the  following  table.  It  does  not 
include  looms  in  establishments  engaged  primarily  in 
the  manufacture  of  products  other  than  textiles,  nor 
looms  employed  on  flax,  hemp,  jute,  and  similar 
fibers.  Cotton  looms  operated  by  power  formed  80.6 
per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  power  looms  in 
1909;  silk  looms,  9.1  per  cent;  and  those  employed  in 
the  woolen  industry,  which  includes  the  manufacture 
of  woolen  and  worsted  goods  and  carpets  and  rugs, 

10.2  per  cent.  In  1899  the  corresponding  percentages 
were  79.5  for  cotton  looms,  7.7  for  silk,  and  12.8  for 
those  in  the  woolen  industries.

Carpets  and  rugs. — The  following  table  presents 
statistics  for  the  manufacture  of  carpets  and  rugs, 
exclusive  of  r<ag  and  grass  ciarpets  and  nigs. 


> In  addition,  in  1909  carpets  and  rugs,  to  the  value  of  $179,  Ifd,  and  in  1901,  to  the 
value  of  $70,0(X),  were  made  by  e.stabli.shraents  engaged  primarily  In  the  manufaeturo 
of  products  other  than  those  covered  by  the  industry  designation.

STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INI)USTRII«. 


The  aggregate  production  of  carpets  and  rugs 
increased  from  76,410,050  square  yards  in  1899  to 
81,218,881  square  yards  in  1909,  or  only  0.3  per  cent, 
but  the  value  of  the  output  increased  from  .143,551,158 
in  1899  to  .$66,960,338  in  1909,  or  53.8  per  cent.  The 
increase  has  been  in  all  classes  of  rugs  except  Smyrna 
and  "other  rugs”  and  in  all  classes  of  carpets  exce{)t 
ingrain.  The  cost  of  materials  used  increased  at  a rate 
almost  equal  to  that  of  the  value  of  products.  The 
total  carpet  product  decreased  11  per  cent  in  quantity 
during  the  decade,  but  increased  36.9  per  cent  in  value. 
The  output  of  pile  carpets  increased  61.9  per  cent  in 
quantity  and  98.3  per  cent  in  value,  while  that  of 
woven  ])ly  or  ingrain  carpets  decreased  55.4  per  cent 
in  quantity  and  53  per  cent  in  value.  The  production 
of  rugs  woven  whole  increased  97.5  per  cent  in  quantity 
and  127  per  cent  in  value.  More  than  two-thirds  of 
the  fiber  material  used  in  the  manufacture  of  carpets  is 
yarn  purchased,  and  to  the  extent  that  this  yarn  is 
manufactured  by  carpet  mills  there  is  a duplication  in 
the  products. 

Cordage  and  twine  and  jute  and  linen  goods. — Table 
46  presents  statistics  for  the  manufacture  of  cordage 
and  twine  and  jute  and  linen  goods,  including  nets  and 
seines,  but  does  not  include  the  figures  for  these  classes 
of  goods  produced  in  penal  institutions  or  in  establish- 
ments engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  prod- 
ucts other  than  those  covered  by  the  industry  desig- 
nation. 

The  principal  products  manufactured  in  this  coun- 
try from  flax,  hemp,  and  jute  fibers  are  twine,  rope, 
and  thread,  and  yarns  for  sale  to  establishments 
using  chiefly  cotton,  wool,  and  silk  fibers. 

The  production  of  linen  toweling  and  other  linen 
woven  goods  increased  decidedly  between  1899  and 
1909,  but  this  item  is  not  shown  separately  in  the  table, 
because  a very  large  proportion  of  the  total  product 
is  manufactured  by  one  establishment. 

The  output  of  gunny  bagging  decreased  from 
74,090,760  square  yai’ds  in  1899  to  69,311,288  square 
yards  in  1909,  while  its  value  increased  from  $3,462,479 
to  $3,507,482.  The  aggregate  rope  and  twine  product  in 
1909  was  504,020,697  pounds,  valued  at  $42,864,658, 
as  compared  with  343,656,384  pounds,  valued  at 
$31,250,468,  in  1899.  In  1899  cotton  rope  and  twine 
formed  3 per  cent  of  the  total  output  of  the  cordage 
and  twine  industry,  and  in  1909,  7.4  per  cent. 
This  class  of  products  increased  260.6  per  cent  in 
quantity  and  372.9  per  cent  in  value  during  the  dec- 
ade, while  rope  and  twine  of  all  other  fiber  increased 
40  per  cent  in  quantity  and  21.6  per  cent  in  value. 
In  addition  to  the  cotton  rope  and  twine  product 
included  in  the  figures  given  above,  21,319,678  pounds, 
valued  at  $3,581,917,  were  made  in  1909  in  mills 
engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  cotton  goods.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES 


Cotton  goods,  including  cotton  small  wares. — Table 
47  presents  the  statistics  for  cotton  manufactures,  not 
including  cotton  liosiery  and  knit  goods. 

The  aggregate  value  of  cotton  woven  goods  manu- 
factured, exclusive  of  narrow  weaves,  such  as  ta])e  and 
webbing,  was  .^56,089,401  in  1909,  compared  with 
.1243,253,155  in  1899,  an  increase  of  87.5  per  cent  for 
tlio  decade.  Tlie  rate  of  increase,  however,  in  quan- 
tity was  very  much  less,  6,348,568,593  square  yards  of 
woven  goods  being  rej)orted  in  1909,  compared  with 


4,523,430,616  in  1899,  an  increase  of  40.3  per  cent. 
The  output  of  almost  every  class  of  woven  goods 
increased  during  the  decade. 

The  total  production  of  yarn  in  cotton  mills  in  1909 
was  2,040,290,743  pounds,  of  which  470,370,995 
pounds,  valued  at  $109,314,953,  were  made  for  sale. 
Part  of  this  yarn  was  sold  to  other  cotton  mills, 
thus  involving  duplication  in  the  total  value  of  prod- 
ucts for  the  industry.  Some  of  it  was  sold  to  woolen 
and  silk  mills  and  a large  quantity  to  knitting  mills.

Hats,  fur-felt  and  wool-felt. — The  total  output  in 
1909  of  establishments  engaged  primarily  in  the  manu- 
facture of  fur-felt  or  wool-felt  hats  was  42,962,508  hats 
of  all  varieties,  valued  at  $47,089,253;  in  1904  it  was 
36,695,952  hats,  valued  at  $36,604,304;  and  in  1899, 
32,325,564  hats,  valued  at  $28,546,867.  Fur-felt  hats, 
generally  known  as  felt  hats,  formed  83.5  per  cent  of 
the  total  number  in  1909  and  69.9  per  cent  in  1899, 
while  wool-felt  hats,  generally  known  as  wool  hats, 
formed  16.5  per  cent  of  the  total  in  1909  and  30.1  per 
cent  in  1899. 

There  is  some  duplication  in  value  of  products,  due 
to  the  use  of  felt  hat  bodies  and  hats  in  the  rough 
made  at  one  estabhshment  as  material  at  another. 

The  following  table  gives  the  quantity  and  value 
of  the  materials  and  products  of  the  fur-felt  hat 
industry  in  1909,  1904,  and  1899.  The  products 
increased  in  value  72.1  per  cent  during  the  decade, 
and  the  number  of  finished  hats  increased  58.8  per 
cent.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES 


meiits  included  in  this  classification  and  is  therefore 
duplicated  in  the  value  of  prod  ucts.  The  increase  in  the 
total  cost  of  materials  in  1 909  over  the  cost  for  1 899 
was  1 1 5.3  per  cent,  and  the  increase  in  the  total  value  of 
products  was  108. 8 per  cent.  Of  the  total  value  of 
the  products,  shirts  and  drawers  contributed  34.8  per 
cent  in  1909  and  47.7  j)er  cent  in  1899,  while  hosiery 
contributed  34.3  j)er  cent  in  1909  and  28.6  per  cent  in 
1899.  The  hosiery  product  increased  in  value  from 


127,420,029  in  1899  to  $68,721,825  in  1909,  or  150.6 
per  cent,  and  shirts  and  drawers  from  $45,675,594  to 
$69,592,817,  or  52.4  per  cent.  Sweaters,  cardigan 
jackets,  etc.,  show  the  largest  relative  increase  in  value 
for  the  decade,  and  combination  suits  the  next  largest, 
the  value  of  the  former  increasing  from  $3,498,837 
to  $22,430,817,  or  moi-e  than  fivefold,  and  that  of 
the  latter  from  $3,691,847  to  $14,853,536,  or  about

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


Tho  increase  in  tlie  cost  of  materials  and  in  the  value 
of  products  for  the  period  1899-1909  was  72.7  and 
8.3.0  i)er  cent,  respectively.  Considerable  duplication 
occurs  in  the  total  cost  of  materials  and  in  the  total 
value  of  j)roducts  shown  in  tho  preceding  table.  To 
eliminate  this  duplication  the  following  method  may 
be  used:  (1)  organzine  and  tram,  reported  as  material 
and  ])roduct,  is  deducted  from  both  materials  and 
products,  respectively;  (2)  spun  silk,  reported  as  a 
product,  is  deducted  from  both  materials  and  prod- 
ucts; (3)  fringe  and  lloss,  reported  as  material,  is  de- 
ducted from  both  materials  and  products;  and  (4) 
amount  received  for  contract  work,  reported  as  product, 
•is  deducted  from  products. 

The  total  production  of  broad  weaves  in  1909  was 
198,787,027  running  yards,  single  width,  valued  at 
.1115,136,724,  compared  with  97,940,935  yards,  valued 
at  .$58,122,622,  in  1899^  the  increase  in  quantity  being 
103  per  cent  and  that  in  value  98.1  per  cent.  Broad 
silks  formed  over  nine-tenths  of  all  broad  weaves  in 
1909,  the  increase  in  the  output  between  1899  and  1909 
being  1 1 1 .9  per  cent.  The  increase  in  the  output  of 
all  other  broad  weaves  combined — velvets,  plushes, 
tapestries,  and  upholsteries — was  only  26.9  per  cent. 

In  1899  all-silk  goods  constiUited  78.1  per  cent  of  the 
broad-silk  product,  and  silk-mixed  goods  21.9  per  cent, 
whereas  in  1909  the  proportion  for  the  latter  had  risen 
to  38.1  per  cent  and  that  for  the  former  had  fallen  to 

61.9  per  cent.  The  change  was  due  to  an  increase 
during  the  decade  of  268.9  per  cent  in  the  output  of 
silk-mixed  broad  silks,  while  that  for  all-silk  was  only 

67.9  per  cent. 

Between  1899  and  1909  the  rate  of  increase  in  the 


output  of  broad  woven  silk  goods  was  much  greater 
than  that  for  either  broad  woven  cotton  or  broad 
woven  woolen  goods,  the  increases  for  the  three  classes 
being  103,  40.3,  and  33.8  per  cent,  respectively. 

Woolen  and  worsted  goods. — The  following  table 
presents  statistics  for  establishments  engaged  primarily 
in  the  manufacture  of  woolen  and  worsted  goods. 
The  total  value  of  products  for  the  industry  involves 
considerable  duplication,  due  to  the  use  of  partly 
finished  products  of  some  estabhshments  as  material 
for  others.  In  1909  the  establishments  in  this  in- 
dustry produced  570,743,797  square  yards  of  woven 
goods,  exclusive  of  upholstery  goods  and  sundries, 
compared  with  505,821,956  square  yards  in  1904  and 
426,572,856  in  1899,  the  increase  for  the  decade 
being  33.8  per  cent.  The  value  of  these  goods  was 
$296,447,594  in  1909,  $234,737,036  in  1904,  and 
$183,306,664  in  1899,  an  increase  for  the  decade 
of  61.7  per  cent.  The  highest  rate  of  increase  was 
reported  for  the  all-wool  woven  group,  the  output 
of  wliich  increased  49.3  per  cent  in  quantity.  The 
output  of  unions  decreased  decidedly,  while  that  of 
cotton-warp  woven  goods  increased  37.6  per  cent  in 
quantity.  The  all-wool  yardage  constituted  56.6  per 
cent  of  the  total  in  1909  and  50.7  per  cent  in  1899, 
while  the  union  yardage  constituted  6.6  per  cent  of 
the  total  in  1909,  as  compared  with  13.4  per  cent  in 
1899.  Cotton-warp  fabrics  formed  about  the  same 
proportion  of  the  total  in  both  years— somewhat  over 
one-third.  There  has  thus  been  a considerable  shift 
during  the  decade  from  the  manufactiue  of  cotton- 
mixed  to  that  of  all-wool  goods.

Tables  56  to  61,  inclusive,  present  statistics  for  blast

operations  of  steel  works  and  rolhng  mills.  In  these  ! 
cases  a separation  of  the  data  for  the  industries  as  de-  |

facturcd  in  rollin"  mills  are,  however,  included  in  the 
])roducts  of  these  mills,  so  that  the  statistics  for  wire 
mills  and  roiling  mills  to  this  extent  duplicate  each 
other.  It  should  also  he  exj)lained  that  the  rolling- 
jnill  departments  of  tin  and  tome  plate  establishments 
are  credited  with  their  entire  output  of  black  plate, 
as  if  it  were  produced  for  sale  instead  of  for  further 
treatment  at  the  same  establishment. 

Blast  furnaces. — The  statistics  for  the  blast-furnace 
industry  are  given  in  the  following  table. 

In  1909,  25,651,798  tons  of  pig  iron,  valued  at 
$387,830,443,  were  produced  and  in  1899,  14,447,791 
tons,  valued  at  $206,512,755,  the  increase  in  quantity 
during  the  decade  being  77.5  per  cent  and  that  in 
value  87.8  per  cent.  Since  1904  was  a year  of  par- 


tial depression  in  the  iron  and  steel  industry  and  the 
pig-iron  product  was  less  in  that  year  than  in  1903  or 
1902,  neither  the  small  increases  shown  in  quantity 
and  value  for  1904  as  compared  with  1899  nor  the 
large  increases  shown  for  1909  as  compared  with  1904 
are  representative  of  the  normal  rate  of  growth  for 
the  industry.  Features  in  the  development  of  the 
industry  are  the  increase  in  the  proportion  of  pig  iron 
produced  for  consumption  in  other  departments  of 
the  works  of  the  producing  company  and  the  increase 
in  the  proportion  of  the  product  passed  on  in  a 
molten  condition  to  undergo  further  processes  with- 
out being  cast  into  pigs.  The  ton  of  2,2Jf.O  founds  is 
used  in  showing  quantities  except  when  otherwise 
stated.

Steel  works  and  rolling  mills. — Table  57  jucsents 
comparative  statistics  of  steel  works  and  rolling  mills, 
including  those  of  forges  and  hloomerics.  vSection  I of 
the  table  deals  with  materials.  The  second  section 
deals  with  products.  It  shows  separately  each  of  the 
products  projierly  designated  as  rolled  and  forged  steel 


and  iron,  but  contains  also  a miscellaneous  item,  which 
includes  the  value  added  to  such  products  in  their 
conversion  into  more  highly  manufactured  ai’ticlos  by 
the  same  establishment,  so  that  the  total  includes  the 
entire  value  of  output  of  the  establishments  in  the 
industry.  Tliis  total  and  also  the  separate  total  for

rolled  and  forged  products  alone  include  no  duplica- 
tion of  quantity  or  value  of  products  within  any  given 
establishment  itself,  but  there  is  considerable  dupli- 
cation duo  to  the  use  of  the  product  of  one  establish- 
ment as  raw  material  for  another  establishment, 
whether  the  latter  bo  owned  by  a separate  concern  or 
by  the  same  compan5^ 

Section  III  of  the  table,  headed  “ Steel,”  gives  the 
entire  quantity  of  crude  steel  produced  by  the  steel 
works,  including  that  subjected  to  further  processes 
of  manufacture  whether  by  the  establishment  in  which 
produced  or  by  other  establishments.  The  value  of 
tliis  steel  appears,  therefore,  distributed  among  various 
items  under  Section  II.  Section  IV  of  the  table  gives 
in  detail  the  quantity  and  value  of  the  more  highly 
elaborated  products  made  by  the  rolling  mills  them- 
selves from  the  rolling-mill  products  specified  in  Sec- 
tion II.  The  entire  value  of  these  products  appears 
in  Section  II,  either  as  part  of  the  various  items  of 
rolled  products  or  in  the  miscellaneous  item  of  value 
added  to  rollmg-mill  products  by  further  manufacture. 
The  fifth  section  of  the  table  deals  with  products  sold 
for  export  by  rolling-mill  concerns;  it  includes  only 
the  products  so  sold  directly  by  the  establishments 
producing  them  and  not  such  as  may  be  sent  abroad 
by  others  who  purchase  from  the  manufacturer.  The 
sixth  section  deals  with  equipment. 

In  1909  the  rolled,  forged,  and  cast-steel  products 
specifically  classified  aggregated  26,723,274  tons, 
valued  at  $863,342,711,  and  in  1899,  15,055,626  tons, 
valued  at  $510,906,040,  the  increase  in  tonnage  being 
77.5  per  cent  and  in  value  69  per  cent.  The  ton  of 
2,240  pounds  is  used  in  showing  quantities  except 
when  otherwise  stated.

Tin  and  terne  plate. — The  statistics  for  the  tin  and 
terne  plate  industry  are  given  in  the  following  table. 
Nearly  98  per  cent  of  the  black  plates  dipped  were 
rolled  by  the  establishment  reporting.  The  value 
of  all  products  was  $47,969,645  in  1909  as  com- 
pared with  $31,892,011  in  1899,  an  increase  of  50.4 
per  cent.  The  development  of  the  tin  and  terne  plate 


industry  has  taken  place  almost  entirely  within  the 
last  20  years,  the  production  in  1891  being  only 
about  2,236,000  pounds,  or  less  than  one  five-hun- 
dredth of  the  1909  output.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES. 


Wire. — The  followin'^  table  presents  the  statistics 
for  wire  manufactures  in  1909.  (bmparable  statistics 
in  detail  for  1904  and  1899  are  not  available  for  the 
total  wire  production,  as  special  reports  were  not  se- 
cured prior  to  the  present  census  from  wire  mills  draw- 
inj^  wire  from  purchased  I’ods.  The  total  value  of  the 
steel  and  iron  wire  j)roduct  more  than  doubled  from 
1899  to  1909.  The  total  value  of  all  wire  and  manufac- 
tures of  wire  reported  in  1909  was  $173,349,614,  of 


which  69.6  per  cent  represents  the  value  of  products 
made  from  steel  and  iron,  27.2  per  cent  that  of 
products  made  from  copper,  and  3.2  per  cent  that  of 
products  made  from  other  metal,  chiefly  brass.  Estab- 
lishments rolling  wire  from  rods  manufactured  by 
them  reported  54.3  per  cent  of  the  wire  products  in 
value,  and  mills  tlrawing  wire  from  purchased  rods 
produced  45.7  per  cent.  The  ton  of  2,000  pounds  is 
used  in  showing  quantities.

LEATHER  AND  ITS  PRODUCTS. 

The  prhnary  or  underlying  industry  of  this  group 
is  the  converting  of  liides  and  skins  into  leather  by  the 
various  processes  of  tanning,  tawing,  currying,  and 
finishing.  The  designation  emjiloyed  for  this  indus- 
try is  “leather,  tanned,  curried,  and  finished.”  The 
group  also  includes  the  manufacture  of  boots  and 
shoes  and  the  manufacture  of  leather  gloves  and 
mittens.

STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


Leather. — Tlie  following  table  gives  the  statistics  of 
the  leather  industry  in  detail  for  1909,  1904,  and  1899. 

The  number  of  hides  and  skins  treated,  including 
those  treated  as  custom  work  for  others  not  tanners, 
curriers,  or  finishers,  as  well  as  those  used  in  further 
manufacture  by  the  establishments  treating  them, 
was  140,328,586  in  1909  and  131,011,956  in  1904. 
Comparative  figures  for  this  aggregate  for  1899  are 
not  available.  Exclusive  of  custom  work,  116,040,980 
hides  and  skins,  costing  $195,058,557,  were  treated  by 
tanneries  in  1909,  and  99,709,343,  costing  $123,545,969, 
in  1899,  the  increase  in  number  being  16.4  per  cent 
and  that  in  cost  57.9  per  cent.  The  increase  for  the 
decade  in  the  number  of  hides  used  was  15.9  per  cent; 


that  in  calf  and  Idp  skins,  120.0  per  cent;  that  in 
sheepskins,  0.4  per  cent;  and  that  in  goatskins,  less 
than  1 })er  cent. 

The  cost  of  })urchased  rough  leather  used  increased 
43.4  per  cent  and  that  of  all  other  materials,  which 
include  tanning  and  finishing  materials,  76.1  per  cent. 

The  value  of  leather  manufactured  in  1909  was 
$306,476,720,  as  compared  with  $194,202,063  in  1899, 
an  increase  of  57.8  per  cent,  which  is  practically  the 
same  as  the  percentage  of  increase  in  the  cost  of  hides 
and  skins  treated.  There  is  considerable  duplication 
in  the  value  of  products,  due  to  the  sale  of  leather 
in  the  rough  as  product  of  one  establishment  and  its 
use  as  material  in  another.

cent  for  the  decade  and  14.6  per  cent  for  the  1904- 
1909  period.  In  1909  men’s  boots  and  shoes  formed 
37.9  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  boots  and  shoes; 
women’s,  35  per  cent;  misses’  and  children’s,  17.5  per 
cent;  and  boys’  and  youths’,  9.6  per  cent. 

The  total  output  of  slippers  reported  for  1909  was 
17,507,834  })airs,  practically  the  same  as  at  each  of  the 
two  preceding  censuses.  The  figures  indicate  a con- 
siderable decrease  since  1904  in  women’s,  misses’,  and 
children’s  slippers,  but  it  is  probable  that  infants’ 
shoes  and  slippers,  reported  separately  in  1909,  were  to 
some  extent  included  with  children’s  slippers  in  1904. 

The  number  of  pairs  of  the  different  kinds  of  boots, 
shoes,  and  slippers  manufactured  by  the  various  meth- 
ods was  reported  for  the  first  time  in  1 909,  and  is  shown 
in  the  next  table.  Of  the  total  number  manufactured, 
43.2  per  cent  were  of  the  McKay  type,  35.3  per  cent 
machine  or  hand  welt,  10.6  per  cent  turned,  8.8  per 
cent  wire-screw  or  metal-fastened,  and  2.1  per  cent 
wooden-pegged.

1 In  a<lflition,in  lOtB,  .30,944  dozen  pairs  of  Klove.s,  mittens,  and  gauntlets,  to  the 
value  of  $264,901;  in  1904,  gloves,  mi  tteii.s,  and  gauntlets,  to  the  value  of  $100,104;  and 
in  1899,  gloves,  mittens,  and  gauntlets,  to  the  value  of  $217, f)?,  were  made  by  estab- 
iishments  engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  products  other  than  those  eov- 
ere<l  by  the  industry  designation. 

2 Includes  24,004  dozen  pairs  of  gauntlets,  valued  at  $150,052,  not  distributed  by 
kinds. 


The  greater  increase  in  value  was  due  to  the  higher 
prices  jiaid  for  hides  and  skins,  and  an  increased  pro- 
duction of  the  better  grades  of  gloves. 

The  number  of  men’s  gloves  manufactured  largely 
outnumbered  that  of  women’s  and  children’s  at  each 
census,  but  importations  of  kid  gloves  for  women 
probably  greatly  reduce  the  demand  for  ^Vmerican 
makes.  Uie  number  of  men’s  gloves  increased  during 
the  decade  14.1  per  cent,  and  the  number  of  women’s 
and  cliildren's  29.5  per  cent.

STATES,  (mi^]S,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


Chemicals.— Table  6(5  presents  the  statistics  for  the 
general  chcinical  industry  as  classified  by  the  Bureau 
of  the  Census,  but  reference  sliould  be  made  to  the 
groups  and  items  specified  in  tlie  table  for  information 
as  to  the  products  included  under  this  head.  It  docs 
not  include  products  listed  independently  in  the  pre- 
ceding paragraph,  nor  does  it  include  the  products  of 
wood  distillation  or  chemicals  made  by  establish- 
ments engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  i)harmaccutical 
preparations. 

The  value  of  all  products  of  the  “chemical”  indus- 
try, including  the  same  commodities  made  by  estab- 
lishments engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  other 
products,  was  $126,794,345  in  1909  and  $78,285,046 
in  1904.  The  products  of  establishments  classified  as 
chemical  factories  proper  were  valued  at  $117,688,887 
in  1909  and  $48,039,595  in  1899,  an  increase  for  the 
decade  of  $69,649,292,  or  145  per  cent.  Some  of  the 
groups  show  very  large  gains,  notably  products  made 
with  the  aid  of  electricity,  many  of  winch  can  not  be 
be  shown  separately  without  disclosing  individual  oper- 
ations. The  value  of  these  products  increased  from 
$1,305,368  in  1899  to  $17,968,277  in  1909  and  the  value 
of  the  output  of  sodas,  the  leading  group  of  products  in 
tliis  respect,  increased  from  $11,596,915  to  $21,417,982. 

The  value  of  the  sulphuric,  nitric,  and  mixed  acid 
product,  shown  in  Table  80,  should  be  added  to  the 
value  of  the  acids  given  in  the  following  table  in  order 
to  ascertain  the  total  production  of  the  principal  acids. 
Including  these  acids,  the  value  of  the  acid  product 
(not  including  acids  consumed  by  establishments  mak- 
ing the  same  or  those  produced  as  by-products  of  other 
industries)  was  $19,493,663  in  1909,  $14,538,137  in 
1904,  and  $9,371,615  in  1899,  the  increase  for  the  de- 
cade being  108  per  cent.  The  ton  of  2,000  pounds  is 
used  in  showing  quantities.

Coke. — Table  67,  whicli  presents  the  statistics  for 
the  manufacture  of  coke,  does  not  incliido  those  for 
gas-house  coke,  which  are  shown  in  Table  71.  The 
total  production  of  coke,  including  gas-house  coke  sold 
and  that  made  and  consumed  in  gas  manufacture,  was 
41,947,949  tons  in  1909  as  compared  with  27,857,441 
tons  in  1904,  an  increase  of  50.6  jier  cent.  The  gas- 
house  coke  included  in  these  figures  formed  6.3  per 
cent  of  the  total  product  in  1909  and  9.9  per  cent  in 
1904. 

The  value  of  all  products  of  the  coke  industry 
proper  was  $98,078,383  in  1909,  $51,728,647  in  1904, 
and  $35,585,445  in  1899,  an  increase  for  the  decade 
of  175.6  percent.  A marked  feature  of  the  industry 
is  the  increasing  use  of  retort  ovens.  Although  tho 


retort  coke  product  was  not  reported  separately  in 
1899,  the  by-products  of  this  branch  of  the  industry 
were  given  and  aggregated  $952,027  in  value.  In 
1909  the  value  of  the  retort  by-products  was  $8,112,900, 
The  value  of  tho  coke  and  by-products  made  by 
retort  ovens  constituted  29.1  per  cent  of  the  total 
value  of  all  products  of  the  industry  in  1909.  Of 
the  total  value  of  the  products  made  by  retort  ovens, 
two-fifths  is  contributed  by  the  by-products.  The 
ton  of  2,000  pounds  is  used  in  showing  quantities.

Dyestuffs  and  extracts. — The  statistics  for  dyestuffs 
and  extracts  giA^en  in  Table  68  cover  tho  products  of 
establishments  manufacturing  the  same  for  sale,  and 
do  not  include  those  made  by  dye  and  })rint  works  or 
tanneries  and  consnmotl  by  tho  same  in  further  pro- 
cesses of  manufacture. 

The  total  value  of  products  Avas  $15,9.54,574  in  1909 
and  $7,350,748  in  1899,  an  increase  of  117  por  cent. 
Tho  chief  products  were  oak  and  chestnut  extract,

which  togetlior  increased  almost  ninefold  in  quantity 
and  oven  more  in  value  during  the  decade.  Artificial 
dyestuffs  nearly  doubled  in  quantity  and  in  value,  hut 
the  production  of  natural  dyestuffs  (included  under  "All 
other  products”)  has  fallen  off  greatly,  the  value  of 
the  product  being  $1,035,711  in  1899  and  only  $233,935 
in  1904.  It  was  materially  less  in  1909,  but  can  not 
bo  shown  separately  without  disclosing  individual 
operations.  The  census  report  on  Forest  Products  for 
1909  gives  386,817,895  pounds  as  the  total  consump- 
tion of  tanning  extracts  in  that  year,  which  quantity 
exceeds  the  quantity  of  oak,  chestnut,  hemlock,  and  su- 
mac extracts  here  reported  by  over  83,000,000  pounds. 
This  difference  can  be  taken  as  representing  approxi- 
mately the  amount  of  tanning  extract  imported  or 
made  and  consumed  in  tanning  establishments.

Explosives. — Table  69  presents  the  statistics  for  the 
explosives  industry.  The  value  of  all  products  was 
$40,139,661  in  1909  as  compared  with  $17,125,418  in 
1899,  an  increase  of  134.4  per  cent. 

72497°— 13 32 


The  production  of  explosives  in  the  industiy  proper 
was  469,481,252  pounds  in  1909,  360,980,734  pounds  in 
1904,  and  215,980,720  ])ounds  in  1899,  an  increase  for 
the  decade  of  117.4  per  cent.  If  the  explosives  made 
by  establishments  operated  by  the  Federal  Government 
and  by  establishments  engaged  primarily  in  the  manu- 
facture of  other  products  be  added,  the  total  production 
in  1909  was  471 ,181,650  pounds.  The  output  of  dyna- 
mite formed  about  three-eighths  of  the  total  output  of 
explosives,  and  itswilue  approximately  one-half  of  the 
total  value  of  explosives  reported.  The  most  important 
product  in  respect  to  quantity  of  output  was  blasting 
powder,  including  "permissible  explosives.”  Permis- 
sible explosives,  known  in  Pennsylvania  as  safety  ex- 
plosives, were  reported  separately  for  the  first  time  in 
1909.  They  are  specially  designed  for  use  in  dusty  and 
gaseous  coal  mines.  The  ton  of  2,000  pounds  is  used 
in  showing  quantities.

Fertilizers. — The  following  table  giving  statistics 
fertile  fertilizer  industry  does  not  include  the  ])roduet  of 
estahlislunents  engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture 
of  jiroducts  other  than  fertilizers,  chief  of  which  are 
slaughtering  and  meat-packing  establishments  and 
cottonseed-oil  mills.  The  value  of  all  jiroducts  of  the 
industry  jirojier,  which  includes  some  that  ai’c  not  fer- 
tilizers, was  .flOd, 900,213  in  1909,  as  coinjiared  with 
$44,0.57,385  in  1899,  an  increase  of  132.8  jier  cent. 
Including  the  fertilizer  by-jiroducts  of  other  indus- 


tries, the  total  production  of  fertilizers  in  1909  was 
5,018,234  tons,  valued  at  $100,089,971.  During  the 
jieriod  1899-1909  the  tonnage  of  the  fertilizer  prod- 
ucts of  the  establishments  engaged  primarily  in  the 
manufacture  of  fertilizers  increased  87.5  per  cent. 
Some  of  the  materials,  such  as  sulphuric  acid,  are  the 
products  of  establishments  engaged  in  this  industry, 
and  therefore  are  dujilicated  in  the  total  value  of 
]:)roducts.  The  ton  of  2,000  founds  is  used  in  showing 
quantities.

those  establishments  which  made  gas  as  their  main 
product.  The  total  jiroduction  of  gas  made  for 
sale  by  such  establishments  and  by  retort  coke  ovens 
combined — but  not  including  the  by-jiroducts  of 
establishments  outside  these  two  ind.ustrif's — was  in 
1909,  166,627,013  thousand  cubic  feet,  valued  at 
$141,224,520;  in  1904,  116,432,779  thousand  cubic 
feet,  valued  at  $113,347,032;  and  in  1899,  68,265,496 
thousand  cubic  feet,  valued  at  $69,657,604.  The  in- 
crease in  quantity  for  the  jieriod  1899-1909  was  thus 
144.1  per  cent,  and  that  in  value  102.7  |)er  cent.  In 
addition  to  the  jiroduct  above  rejiorted  for  1909, 
1,730,563  thousand  cubic  feet  were  made  and  con- 


sumed in  gas  jilants  and  60,799,543  thousand  cubic 
feet  were  made  and  consumed  or  wasted  by  retort 
coking  establishments.  There  is  also  a large  con- 
sumjition  of  jiroducer  gas  and  blast-furnace  gas  by 
establishments  in  other  industries  wliich  produced  the 
gas  themselves. 

The  value  of  jiroducts  of  the  illuminating-gas  indus- 
try jirojier  aggregated  $166,814,371  in  1909  as  com- 
pared with  $75,716,693  in  1899,  an  increase  of  120.3 
jier  cent.  Only  aliout  four-lifths  of  this  value  rejire- 
sents  that  of  the  gas  itself.  The  industry  shows  a 
jirogressive  decrease  from  census  to  census  in  unit 
values  for  all  kinds  of  gas  with  theexcejitionof  acetylene 
gas.  The  ton  of  2,000  pounds  is  used  for  showing

Glucose  and  starch. — Statistics  are  presented  in 
Table  72  for  the  glucose  and  starch  industry  for  the 
years  1909  and  1904. 

Corn  is  the  principal  material  used.  The  value  of 
all  products  of  the  industry  was  $48,799,311  in  1909 
and  $32,649,836  in  1904,  the  increase  for  the  five-year 
period  being  49.5  per  cent.  The  starch  product 
(gross,  including  duplication),  increased  in  quantity 
89.9  per  cent  and  in  value  60.3  per  cent,  the  entire 
gain  being  in  cornstarch.  Tlie  percentages  of  increase 
in  the  value  of  glucose,  grape  sugar,  and  corn  oil  are 
large,  notably  that  for  corn  oil.  In  1899  the  produc- 
tion of  starch  (in  part  estimated)  was  543,040,000 
pounds,  greatly  exceeding  the  figures  for  1904.  The 
decrease  in  production  from  1899  to  1904  was  due  in 


large  measure  to  the  decrease  m the  export  trade  of 
this  commodity. 

Some  establishments  included  in  the  industry  am 
engaged  juimarily  in  rejirocessing  starch,  resulting  in 
a diqilication  of  products.  In  1909  105,299,010 
pounds  of  cornstarch  were  used  as  material  by  such 
factories,  104,597,648  pounds  of  cornstarch  being^ 
olitained  as  products.  Tlie  deduction  of  this  duplica- 
tion from  the  total  gives  the  quantity  of  marketable 
cornstarch  produced  in  1909  as  534,227,718  pounds.

The  largest  gain  was  that  in  the  output  of  fuel  oils, 
which  increased  from  7,209,428  barrels  in  1904  to 
34,034,577  barrels  in  1909,  as  the  result  of  the  increase 
in  the  refining  of  low-grade,  crude  oils.  The  output 


of  lubricating  oils  and  naphtha  also  increased  very 
rapidly.  The  decrease  in  the  value  of  "all  other  prod- 
ucts” in  1909  as  compared  with  1904  is  duo  in  part 
to  the  fact  that  the  products  of  the  box,  cooperage, 
tinware,  and  paint  shops  ojierated  by  the  refineries  were 
included  in  1904,  but  when  possible  separate  reports 
were  obtained  for  these  departments  in  1909  and  the 
statistics  for  them  were  included  with  those  for  other 
industries  at  this  census. 

Salt. — The  statistics  for  the  salt  industry  are  given 
in  the  following  table.*  The  value  of  all  products 
increased  from  $7,966,897  in  1899  to  $11,327,834  in 
1909,  or  42.2  per  cent.  The  production  of  salt  in- 
creased from  15,187,819  barrels  in  1899  to  29,933,060 
barrels  in  1909,  or  97.1  per  cent,  while  the  value  of 
the  product  increased  from  $5,809,362  to  $8,311,729, 
or  41.6  per  cent,  the  average  value  per  barrel  decreas- 
ing from  39  cents  in  1899  to  28  cents  in  1909  on  account 
of  the  greatly  increased  proportion  of  the  lower  grades 
of  salt  manufactured.  The  harrel  of 280  founds  is  used

$20,344,888  in  1899  to  $25,295,017  in  1909,  or  24.3 
per  cent,  but  the  gain  was  due  wholly  to  the  great  in- 
crease in  the  price  of  rosin.  The  turpentine  product 
decreased  in  both  quantity  and  value  during  the 
decade.  The  output  of  rosin  also  decreased  24.9  per 
cent,  but  its  value  increased  145.2  per  cent.  The

CLAY,  GLASS,  AND  STONE  PRODUCTS. 

Under  this  general  head  are  assembled  the  indus- 
tries using  clay,  sand,  and  stone  as  basic  materials, 
namely,  the  manufacture  of  brick,  tile,  pottery,  terra- 
cotta, and  fire-clay  products,  and  that  of  cement, 
glass,  and  lime. 

The  statistics  for  all  these  industries,  except  glass 
manufacture,  were  collected  m 1909  in  cooperation  with 
the  United  States  Geological  Survey,  and  the  tables 
include,  except  as  otherwise  stated,  the  respective 
products  made  by  establishments  engaged  primarily 
in  the  manufacture  of  other  products  as  well  as  those 
establishments  making  such  products  as  their  principal 
business. 

Brick  and  tile,  and  pottery,  terra-cotta,  and  fire-clay 
products.* — Table  84  summarizes  the  statistics  in 
regard  to  the  products  of  the  brick  and  tile,  pot- 
tery, and  terra-cotta  and  fire-clay  products  indus- 
tries. The  total  value  of  these  classes  of  jiroducts  was 
$168,895,365  in  1909  and  $95,533,862  in  1899,  the 
increase  during  the  decade  being  76.8  per  cent.  Of 
the  total  value  of  products  in  1909,  that  of  brick 
formed  57.5  per  cent,  that  of  tile  and  allied  products 
23.2  per  cent,  and  that  of  pottery  18.4  per  cent.  The 
percentages  were  practically  the  same  in  1904  and 
1899.  Some  of  the  classes  show  large  ratios  of  in-

Lime.' — The  total  value  of  the  lime  reported  as  manu- 
factured in  1909  was  .$1.3,763,604  as  compared  with 
$9,951,4.56  in  1904,  an  increase  for  the  five-year  period 
of  38.3  per  cent.  The  cjuantity  reported  in  1909  was 
3,467,523  tons  (2,000  pounds),  of  which  1,904,202  tons 
was  used  for  building  or  structural  purposes;  591,792 
tons  for  fertilizing;  and  the  remainder  in  various 
manufacturing  establishments,  such  as  paper  mills, 
tanneries,  sugar  factories,  and  alkali  works.  The  value 
of  all  products  reported  by  establishments  engaged 
primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  lime  was  .$17,951,987 
in  1909  and  $14,751,170  in  1904. 

VEHICLES  FOR  LAND  TRANSPORTATION. 

Under  the  above  heading  are  given  statistics  for 
the  manufacture  of  automobiles,  bicycles,  motorcycles, 
and  carriages  and  wagons,  and  the  construction  of 
steam  and  electric  railroad  cars,  and  also  for  the 
operations  of  the  construction  and  repair  shoj)s  of 
railroads. 

Automobiles. — The  statistics  for  automobiles  are 
presented  in  Table  87.  Under  "all  other  products” 
are  included  the  products  of  establishments  engaged 

' The  statistics  differ  from  those  published  by  the  United  States 
Geological  Stirvey,  which  include  Hawaii  and  Porto  Rico. 


in  the  manufacture  of  automobile  bodies  and  parts, 
which  are  sold  largely  to  automobile  manufacturers, 
as  well  as  the  value  of  bodies  and  parts  made  and 
sold  separately  by  automobile  manufacturers.  The 
total  value  of  products  for  the  industry  thus  in- 
volves considerable  dujilication.  The  growth  of  the 
automobile  industry  has  been  phenomenal.  In  1899 
the  general  statistics  for  the  industry  were  included 
with  those  for  carriage  and  wagon  manufacture,  and 
only  3,897  automobiles  were  reported.  In  1904  the 
total  number,  including  automobiles  made  by  con- 
cerns classified  under  other  industries,  was  22,830, 
while  in  1909  the  number’  was  127,287,  or  nearly 
thirty-three  times  the  number  reported  in  1899. 

The  value  of  all  products  of  the  industry  projier  was 
$249,202,075  in  1909  and  $30,033,536  in  1904.  Gasoline 
machines  formed  95.1  per  cent  of  the  total  number 
made  in  1909  and  86.2  per  cent  in  1904.  Of  the  total 
number  manufactured  in  1909,  3,226,  or  2.5  per  cent, 
were  rated  at  50  horsepower  or  more;  51,218,  or  40.5 
per  cent,  at  from  30  to  49  horse[)Ower;  35,257,  or  27.8

per  cent,  at  less  than  10  horsepower.  Passenger  ve- 

hicles constituted  97.4  per  cent  of  the  total  number 
and  business  vehicles  2.6  per  cent.

primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  products  other  than  those  covered  by  the  industry 
designation:  In  1909,  64,883  bicycles,  valued  at  $791,193,  and  other  products,  includ- 
ing parts,  etc.,  valued  at  $579,927;  in  1904,  25,178  bicycles,  valued  at  $537,418;  28

and  in  1899,  69,811  bicycles,  valued  at  $1,529,177,  and  other  products  valued  at 
$24,000.

Tlie  total  value  of  products  of  the  industry  decreased 
from  $31,915,908  in  1899  to  $5,153,240  in  1904,  but 
by  1909  it  liad  risen  again  to  $10,698,507,  or  more 
than  double  the  figures  for  1904. 

Carriages  and  wagons  and  materials. — The  following 
table  ])rescnts  statistics  for  the  manufacture  of  car- 
riages and  wagons,  including  under  “All  other  prod- 
ucts” the  products  of  establishments  engaged  in  the 
manufacture  of  carriage  and  wagon  materials,  but 
not  inchnling  children’s  carriages  and  sleds.  The 
total  value  of  products  increased  from  $138,261,763 
in  1899  to  $159,892,547  in  1909,  or  15.6  per  cent. 
The  value  of  v/agons  increased  $8,852,172,  or  28.5 
per  cent,  though  the  number  manufactured  was  very 
little  larger  in  1909  than  in  1899.  The  carriages 
reported  were  both  fewer  in  number  and  lower  in 
value  in  1909  than  in  1899.  Public  conveyances  also 
show  a decrease  in  value,  but  a slight  increase  in 
number.  In  each  of  these  three  classes  the  decreases 
that  appear  for  the  decade  as  a whole  have  taken 
place  entirely  since  1904,  in  which  year  the  numbers  and 
values  reported  exceeded  those  for  1899.  The  decreases 
are  presumably  due  to  the  growth  of  the  automobile 
industry.

Cars,  steam-railroad. — The  statistics  of  establish- 
ments constructing  steam-railroad  cars  given  in  the 


following  table  do  not  include  the  work  of  steam- 
railroad  companies  in  their  repair  shops  or  that  of 
concerns  primarily  engaged  in  the  construction  of 
street  cars.  The  total  value  of  products  of  this  in- 
dustry was  $123,729,627  in  1909,  as  compared  with 
$90,510,180  in  1899,  an  increase  for  the  decade  of  36.7 
per  cent.  The  freight  cars  made  in  1909  were  fewer 
in  number  and  lower  in  aggregate  value  than  those 
made  in  either  1904  or  1899,  and  the  cars  for  passen- 
ger service  made  in  1909  were  fewer  in  number  and 
lower  in  aggregate  value  than  those  made  in  1904. 
In  fact,  while  there  are  a number  of  classes  of  prod- 
ucts, such  as  passenger  cars  (day  coaches)  and  ore 
cars,  which  show  an  increase  in  number  and  value 
for  the  five-year  period  1904-1909,  the  increase  in 
value  for  the  total  is  more  than  covered  by  the  in- 
crease in  the  value  of  “ all  other  products.”

not  include  cars  made  in  the  sboj)s  of  railroad  com-

steam-railroad  cars.  In  1899  the  value  of  all  products 
was  $7,305,3()8  and  in  1909  only  $7,809,866,  a slight 
increase  thus  being  shown  for  the  decade.  The  value 
of  products  in  1904,  however,  exceeded  that  in  1909. 
The  decrease  in  the  construction  of  open  cars  since 
1904  is  especially  marked.

MISCELLANEOUS  INDUSTRIES. 

Statistics  for  all  industries  that  can  not  properly  be 
classified  with  any  of  the  groups  before  presented,  on 
account  of  the  character  either  of  the  products  or  of 
the  raw  materials  used,  are  given  under  the  above 
head. 

Agricultural  implements. — Table  95  presents  com- 
parative statistics  of  the  production  of  agricultural 
implements.  The  value  of  all  products  increased  from 
$101,207,428  in  1899  to  $146,329,268  in  1909,  or  44.6 


per  cent.  This  includes  the  value  of  miscellaneous 
agricultural  implements  and  jiarts  not  classifiable  under 
either  of  the  four  groups  shown  separately  and  of  a 
large  number  of  products  not  distinctively  agricultural, 
but  made  by  manufacturers  of  agricultural  imple- 
ments, such  as  windmills,  carriages  and  wagons,  en- 
gines, presses,  castings,  lawn  swings,  etc.  In  1909  the 
aggregate  value  of  the  four  groups  of  agricultural  im- 
plements— seeders  and  planters,  implements  of  culti- 
vation, harvesting  implements,  and  separators — was 
$94,524,494,  compared  with  $79,335,400  in  1904,  an

Lumber  and  timber  products. — Beginning  with  1906 
an  annual  canvass  of  forest  products  has  been  made  by 
tlie  Bureau  of  the  Census  in  cooperation  with  the 
Forest  Service  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture.  The 
statistics  for  the  year  1909  given  in  the  following  table 
are  compiled  from  tliis  annual  report;  those  for  1904 
and  1899  are  from  the  regular  census  reports. 

The  totals  for  1909  include  statistics  for  some  smal 
neighborhood  mills  sawing  chiefly  or  exclusively  for 
local  consumption,  also  a relatively  small  numher  of 
establishments  using  logs  or  bolts  as  material  and 
engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  products 
other  than  those  covered  by  the  classified  lumber  and 
timber  products  industry,  which  classes  are  not  rejire- 
sented  in  the  totals  for  the  other  two  years.  Detailed 
statistics  for  the  lumber  and  other  forest-products 
industries  will  be  found  in  the  several  annual  reports 
published  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  The  figures 
given  in  Table  98  can  not  be  com])ared  with  those 
given  in  Table  110  because  in  the  latter  table  the 
statistics  cover  not  only  the  products  of  the  sawmills, 
shingle  and  lath  mills,  but  also  the  ])roducts  of  jilaniiig 
mills  operated  independently  of  sawmills,  logging 
cam])s,  veneer  mills,  and  box  factories.

Pianos  and  organs  and  materials. — Table  99  includes 
the  statistics  for  pianos  and  organs,  and  materials 
therefor,  but  does  not  include  the  products  of  estab- 
lishments engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture  of 
other  musical  instruments.  The  value  of  all  products 
increased  from  $41,024,244  in  1899  to  $89,789,544  in 
1909,  or  118.9  per  cent,  the  increase  being  almost 


wholly  in  the  value  of  pianos  and  player  attachments 
for  pianos.  A marked  feature  is  the  gain  in  the  num- 
ber of  pianos  with  player  attachments  manufactured, 
the  output  of  which  increased  during  the  period  1904 
to  1909  from  1,868  to  34,495,  or  seventeen  fold. 
A large  decrease  occurred  between  1904  and  1909 
in  the  number  of  reed  organs  made.

Paper  and  wood  pulp. — Table  100  includes  statistics 
for  all  establishments  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of 
wood  pulp  and  in  the  manufacture  of  paper,  either 
separately  or  in  conjunction.  The  total  production 
of  wood  pulp  in  1909  was  2,495,523  tons;  in  1904, 
1,921,768  tons;  and  in  1899,  1,179,535  tons.  The 
percentage  of  increase  for  the  decade  was  111.6. 
Sulphite  fiber  shows  the  highest  rate  of  increase, 
144.6  per  cent.  An  increasing  propoidion  of  the  wood 
pulp  is  made  by  establishments  which  themselves 
consume  it  in  making  paper;  in  1909,  63.5  per  cent 
was  so  consumed  by  the  establishments  making  it. 

The  value  of  all  products,  which  includes  some 
duplication,  increased  from  $127,326,162  in  1899  to 
$267,656,964  in  1909,  or  110.2  per  cent.  The  output 
of  paper  products  increased  from  2,167,593  tons  in  1899 
to  4,216,708  tons  in  1909,  or  94.5  per  cent,  and  their 
value  from  $107,909,046  to  $232,741,049,  or  115.7  per 
cent.  Paper  stock  used  for  which  quantities  are  re- 
ported aggregated  4,588,160  tons  in  1909,  of  which 
wood  pulp  formed  61.6  per  cent;  old  and  waste  paper, 
21.4  per  cent;  rags,  7.8  per  cent;  straw,  6.6  jier  cent; 
and  manila  stock,  2.6  per  cent.  The  ton  of 2,000  pounds 
is  used  for  showing  quantities.

bookbinding  and  blank-book  making;  engraving,  in- 
cluding plate  printing;  and  lithogra{)hing. 

Under  the  head  of  job  printing  is  included  the  job 
printing  done  by  news})aper,  periodical,  and  other 
establishments,  as  well  as  that  of  regular  job-printing 
establishments.  The  value  of  products  reported  for 
the  bookbinding  and  blank-book  industry  includes 
the  value  of  all  products  of  concerns  engaged  primarily 
in  these  branches,  as  well  as  the  value  of  bookbinding 
and  blank  books  reported  by  printing  and  publishing 
establishments.  In  like  manner  there  is  included 
under  electrotyping,  engraving,  and  lithographing 
the  value  of  all  products  of  establishments  engaged 
primarily  in  these  branches. 

The  value  of  all  products  was  S737,876,087  in  1909, 


$552,473,353  in  1904,  and  $395,180,629  in  1899,  the 
rate  of  increase  for  the  period  1899-1909  being  86.7 
per  cent.  The  income  of  newspapers  and  periodicals 
from  subscriptions,  sales,  and  advertising  was  $337,- 
596,288  in  1909,  as  compared  with  $175,789,610  in 
1899,  the  rate  of  increase  for  the  decade  being  92  per 
cent.  Of  the  total  income  from  these  sources,  that 
from  advertising  formed  00  per  cent  in  1909  and  54.5

designation:  Work  done  on  vessels  of  5 tons  and  over,  launched,  $418,905;  vessels 
building  but  not  launched,  $30,184;  boats  of  under  5 tons,  $145,155;  and  other  boat 
products  and  repairs,  $182,462;  or  a total  of  $776,706. 

3 In  addition,  the  following  items  were  reported  by  establishments  engaged  pri- 
marily in  the  manufacture  of  products  other  than  those  covered  by  the  Industry 
designation:  Work  done  on  vessels  of  5 tons  and  over,  launched,  $463,018;  boats  of 
under  5 tons,  $147,542;  and  other  boat  products  and  repairs,  $46,782;  or  a total  of 
$6.57,342. 

The  value  of  the  products  of  governmental  shipyards 
in  1909  was  $25,872,0.33;  in  1904,  $17,265,469;  and  in 
1899,  $11,022,312.  Thus  the  total  value  of  products 
reported  for  all  establishments,  governmental  and  pri- 
vate, was  $99,232,348  in  1909,  $100,034,708  in  1904, 
and  $85,554,589  in  1899.  The  increase  of  $13,677,759, 
or  16  per  cent,  shown  for  the  period  1899-1909,  was 
due  entirely  to  work  of  governmental  establishments. 


The  following  table  shows  the  number  of  vessels  of 
each  class  launched  during  the  census  years  1909,  1904, 
and  1899.  These  figures  are  not  strictly  comparable 
with  those  giving  values  presented  in  the  preceding 
table,  since  the  former  cover  all  work  done  during  the 
year,  both  on  vessels  launched  during  the  year  and  on 
those  not  yet  launched  at  its  close.  The  number  of 
vessels  of  nearly  every  class  was  less  in  1909  than  at 
the  two  preceding  censuses,  but  the  number  of  boats 
increased  greatly,  the  number  made  by  all  establish- 
ments aggregating  8,577,  of  which  number  97.3  per 
cent  were  gasoline  motor  boats.

STATES,  CITIES,  AND  INDUSTRIES. 


j Laundries.— Steam  laundries  are  not  j^enerally  con- 
sidered as  manufacturing  establishments,  and  there- 
fore statistics  for  them  have  been  excluded  from 
I prior  censuses.  Since  the  iiulustiy  has,  however, 
j dovelo])cd  so  rapidly,  large  amounts  of  capital  now 
i being  invested,  and  many  wage  earners  being  em- 
ployed, it  should  no  longer  be  omitted  from  the  indus- 
trial census.  The  establishments  are  conducted 
according  to  factoiy  methods,  and  therefore  the  sta- 
tistics are  associated  with  those  for  the  manufacturing 
industries  of  the  Thirteenth  Census.  They  are  not 
included,  however,  m the  general  tables  or  in  the 
totals  for  manufacturing  industries. 

During  the  year  1909  there  were  in  the  United  States 
5,186  laundries  operated  by  the  use  of  mechanical 
power.  The  capital  reported  by  these  establishments 
as  mvested  in  the  industry  amounted  to  $68,935,000. 
In  addition,  such  establishments  rent  a great  deal  of 
property,  the  annual  rental  paid  by  laundries  for  plant 
and  equipment  amounting  in  1909  to  $2,277,000. 
The  value  of  the  work  done  was  $104,680,086. 

In  addition  to  ascertaining  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  employed  during  the  entire  year,  the 
census  calls  for  the  actual  number  of  wage  earn  -rs,  by 
sex  and  age  periods,  employed  on  December  15,  1909, 
or  the  nearest  representative  day.  On  that  date  there 
were  employed  112,064  wage  earners,  of  whom  31,947, 
or  28.5  per  cent,  were  men;  79,152,  or  70.6  per  cent, 
women;  and  965,  or  0.9  per  cent,  children  under  16 
years  of  age. 

The  following  statement  summarizes  the  statistics:

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MANUFACTURES 


COMPARATIVE  SUMMARY  FOR  THE  UNITED  STATES,  BY  SPECIFIED  INDUSTRIES:  1909,  1904,  AND  1899. 

Notes.— Tlio  figures  for  some  in(Iustrie,s  do  not  represent  tlie  total  production,  bosause  important  establishments  that  manufacture  the  same  class  of  products  may 
iK)  included  in  other  induslrlos.  (See  Introduction.) 

i’riinary  liorsepower  includes  power  generated  in  manufacturing  establishments  plus  electric  and  other  power  renteti  from  outside  sources;  it  does  not  include  electric 
power  generated  by  primary  units  of  the  establishments  reporting. 

In  the  statistics  of  power  for  1809  there  is  a difference  of  1.54,72:1  horsepower  between  the  total  and  the  sum  of  the  figures  for  the  various  Industries.  This  is  due  to  the 
lmi)ossibility  of  making  correct  revision  of  the  figures  for  each  industry  for  comparison  with  1904  and  1909.

STATIiSTlOS  OF  IIIMCS  AM)  (H'AHKIES  FOI!  INDUSTRIES  AND  STATES. 


Introduction. — Tliis  chapter  contains  a summary  of 
tho  statistics  of  mining  for  the  United  States  for  the 
(Calendar  year  1909,  as  showni  the  Thirteenth  t’ensus. 

The  statistics  relate  both  to  mines  in  the  narrower 
sense  and  to  quarries  and  petroleum  and  gas  wells, 
but  for  brevity  all  these  enterprises  are  often  called 

mines,”  using  the  term  in  its  broad  sense. 

The  principal  statistics  of  mining  industries  derived 
from  the  census  inquiry  are  given  in  a series  of  general 
tables  at  the  end  of  the  chapter.  Table  25  gives  a 
■comparative  summary  of  the  results  of  the  inquiries 
of  1909  and  1902,  comparing  for  each  geographic  divi- 
sion and  state  the  expenses  of  operation  and  develop- 
ment, the  primary  power,  and  the  value  of  products. 
Table  26  gives  a similar  comparative  summary  for 
teach  industry.  Table  27  gives  for  the  several  geo- 
graphic divisions  and  for  each  state  the  number  of 
operator;  the  number  of  mines,  quarries,  or  wells; 
•capital;  expenses  of  operation  and  development;  num- 
ber of  persons  engaged  in  the  industry;  acreage  of  land 
■controlled;  primary  power;  and  value  of  products. 
Table  28  gives  similar  information  for  each  industry. 
Table  29  gives  information  similar  to  that  contained 
in  Table  28  for  nonproducing  mines,  quarries,  and 
•wells,  in  wliich  operations  are  as  yet  confined  to  devel- 
opment work. 

The  explanatory  text  deals  almost  exclusively  with 
the  producing  mines,  quarries,  and  wells,  and  gives 
for  all  mining  industries  combined  and  for  a number 
of  the  more  important  industries  separately  further 
statistics  amphfying  the  figures  given  in  the  general 
tables,  together  with  averages,  percentages,  etc.,  derived 
from  the  figures  in  those  tables. 

In  order  to  avoid  any  misapprehension  as  to  the 
significance  of  the  statistics  here  published,  it  seems 
advisable  to  offer  a few  brief  explanations  of  the 
terms  used  in  the  census  of  imning  industries. 

Scope  of  census. — The  Thirteenth  Census  covered  all  classes  of 
onines  and  quarries  that  were  in  operation  during  any  portion  of 
the  year  1909,  both  those  which  were  producing  and  those  whose 
•operations  were  confined  to  development  work,  and  petroleum  and 
gas  wells  that  were  in  operation  at  the  end  of  that  year.  Mines, 
•quarries,  or  wells  that  were  idle  during  the  entire  year  1909  were 
•omitted  from  the  cauvass.  The  following  operations  were  likewise 
omitted  from  the  canvass:  Prospecting;  the  digging  or  dredging  of 
sand  and  gravel  for  the  construction  of  roads  and  for  building 
•operations;  the  production  of  mineral  waters;  and  the  operation  of 
small  bituminous  coal  banks  producing  less  than  1,000  tons  an- 
^lualh^  l\Tiere  the  mineral  products  are  not  marketed  in  their 


crude  condition,  but  are  dressed  or  washed  at  the  mine  or  quarry^ 
the  statistics  of  mining  cover  the  entire  work  of  obtaining  the  crude 
material  and  its  preparation  for  the  market. 

Period  covered. — The  returns  cover  the  calendar  year  1909,  or  the 
business  year  which  corresponds  most  nearly  to  that  calendar  year. 
The  statistics  cover  a year’s  operations,  except  for  enterprises 
which  began  or  discontinued  business  during  the  year. 

Number  of  operators. — As  a rule,  the  unit  of  enumeration  was  the 
“operator.”  Every  individual,  firm,  or  corporation  was  required 
to  furnish  one  report  for  all  mines,  quarries,  or  wells  which  were 
operated  under  the  same  management,  or  for  which  one  set  of 
books  of  account  was  kept.  Where  several  mines,  quarries,  or 
wells  managed  separately  were  owned  by  the  same  operator,  it  was 
optional  with  the  operator  to  furnish  one  report  for  all  his  operations, 
or  a separate  report  for  each  of  his  properties.  Separate  reports 
were  obtained  for  all  properties  operated  in  different  states,  even 
where  they  were  owned  by  the  same  operator.  Likewise,  where  the 
operations  of  one  individual,  firm,  or  corporation  covered  more 
than  one  class  of  mines  and  quarries,  such  as  coal,  iron,  limestone, 
etc.,  a separate  report  was  received  for  each  industry.  The  total 
number  of  operators,  accordingly,  as  shown  by  the  original  returns, 
included  a small  amount  of  duplication.  As  far  as  practicable, 
all  duplications  of  this  character  within  the  same  industry  were 
eliminated  by  the  consolidation  of  the  reports  for  the  same  operator. 
All  such  duplications  have  been  eliminated  for  the  coal,  petroleum 
and  natural  gas,  iron,  and  copper  industries. 

Number  of  mines,  quarries,  and  wells. — This  figure  represents 
the  total  number  of  mines  and  quarries  in  operation  or  in  the  course 
of  development  at  any  time  during  the  calendar  year  1909,  or  the 
business  year  that  corresponds  most  nearly  to  that  calendar  year, 
and  the  number  of  completed  petroleum  and  natural  gas  wells  in 
operation  on  December  31,  1909. 

In  most  mining  and  quarrying  industries  the  number  of  mines 
or  quarries  varies  liut  little  from  the  number  of  operators,  the 
principal  variations  being  found  in  the  mining  of  anthracite  coal, 
iron,  and  copper,  with  an  average  of  more  than  two  mines  per 
operator;  in  the  mining  of  tungsten,  with  an  average  of  more  than 
five  mines  per  operator;  and  in  the  quanying  of  gypsum,  with 
an  average  of  nearly  three  quarries  per  operator.  In  the  production 
of  petroleum  and  natural  gas  there  was  an  average  of  more  than 
twenty  wells  to  one  operator. 

Expenses  of  operation  and  development. — A certain  amount  of 
development  work  is  incident  to  the  operation  of  every  mine.  The 
expenses  reported  for  producing  mines  include  the  cost  both  of 
operation  and  of  development  work  which  was  done  in  connection 
with  operation. 

Wages. — The  amount  shown  as  wages  includes  only  the  com- 
pensation of  regular  wage  earners  hired  by  the  day,  week,  or  month, 
or  under  the  piecework  system.  There  Ls  a class  of  miners  variously 
known  under  the  local  names  of  “leasers,”  “block  lessees,”  etc., 
who  are  compensated  by  a share  of  the  product.  The  compensation 
of  such  miners  is  included  under  the  pajunents  for  ‘ ‘ Contract  work  ” 
in  the  general  tables. 

Supplies  and  materials. — This  item  includes  the  cost  of  lumber 
and  timber  used  for  repairs,  mine  supports,  track  ties,  etc.;  iron 
and  steel  for  blacksinithing;  rails,  frogs,  sleepers,  etc.,  for  tracks;

ABSTRACrr  OF  THE  CENSUS— MINING. 


reripwalflof  tools  and  machinery  and  materials  for  repairs;  and  sup- 
plies, explosives,  oil,  etc.,  as  well  as  the  cost  of  fuel  and  the  rent  of 
power.  The  schedule  called  only  for  the  cost  of  such  BU})plie8  and 
materials  as  ha<l  been  used  during  t he  year  covered  by  the  re])ort. 
Accurate  figures,  however,  could  be  furnished  only  in  those  cases 
where  the  operators  kej)t  an  account  of  supplies  and  materials  used, 
or  hiul  an  inventory  made  of  all  in  stock  at  the  beginning  and  at  the 
end  of  the  year.  Sucdi  a system  of  accounting  is  far  from  general 
among  mine  operators,  and  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  in  many 
cases  the  reported  c:ost  of  supplies  and  materials  covered  all  pur- 
chased during  the  year  rather  than  those  used  during  the  year.  The 
crude  i)roduct  of  some  operators  was  purchased  by  others  for  further 
dressing  or  refining;  the  cost  of  such  materials  is  shown  in  a sepa- 
rate column  in  the  general  tables  for  producing  mines,  but  in  all 
other  tables  it  is  included  in  the  general  item  of  cost  of  supplies 
and  materials. 

Miscellaneous  expenses. — In  the  general  tables  royalties  and 
the  rent  of  mines,  taxes,  and  the  amounts  paid  for  contract  work  are 
shown  in  separate  columns.  All  other  expenses  not  enumerated 
separately  are  combined  under  the  head  of  “Rent  of  offices  and 
other  sundry  expenses,”  which  includes  rent  of  offices  and  buildings 
other  than  those  at  the  mine,  quan-y,  or  well,  use  of  patents, 
insurance,  ordinary  repairs  of  buildings  and  max;hinery  (not 
including  materials  therefor  where  carried  in  separate  accounts), 
advertising,  damages,  traveling  expenses,  and  all  other  simdry 
expenses. 

Value  of  products. — Statistics  of  the  value  of  each  mineral  prod- 
uct were  obtained  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in  cooperation 
with  the  United  States  Geological  Survey,  but  the  two  bureaus 
follow  different  methods  in  presenting  these  statistics.  The 
Geological  Survey  shows  separately  the  value  of  each  mineral 
product,  whereas  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  presents  the  value  of 
products  of  each  mining  industry.  The  value  of  products  given  for 
each  mining  industry  often  includes  the  value  of  some  products  not 
covered  by  the  industry  designation.  The  crude  product  of  metal- 
liferous mines  may  include  varying  combinations  of  metals,  such  as 
gold,  silver,  copper,  lead,  zinc,  and  iron.  Similarly,the  total  value  of 
all  products  of  the  granite  quarries  is  not  identical  with  the  value  of 
the  total  output  of  granite,  but  may  include  the  value  of  some  marble 
or  other  stone  quarried  in  connection  with  the  principal  product. 

The  value  of  products  for  1909  in  most  cases  represents  the  value 
of  the  products  marketed  during  that  year,  not  the  value  of  those 
mined  during  that  yeai'.  In  this  respect  the  data  differ  from  those 
usually  obtained  for  manufacturing  establishments.  In  order  to 
ascertain  the  value  of  the  products  mined  during  the  year  1909,  ac- 
count would  have  had  to  be  taken  of  the  inventories  at  the  begin- 
ning and  at  the  close  of  the  year.  In  many  mining  industries, 
however,  no  such  inventories  are  made,  by  reason  of  the  purely 
speculative  value  of  the  crude  product  lying  on  the  dump. 

Another  element  of  inaccuracy  inherent  in  the  statistics  as  to  the 
value  of  products  is  due  to  the  combination  of  mining  with  manu- 
facturing. Most  of  the  product  of  iron  mines  is  not  sold,  but  is  used 
in  blast  furnaces  operated  by  the  owners  of  the  mines.  A large  pro- 
portion of  the  output  of  coal  is  likewise  used  in  iron  and  steel  works 
operated  by  the  orvners  of  the  coal  mines,  while  a considerable  pro- 
portion also  is  controlled  by  railway  companies  and  other  industrial 
concerns  which  own  the  coal  mines,  either  directly,  or  indirectly 
through  sub.sidiary  companies.  In  such  cases  the  reported  value  of 


the  mining  product  is  often  a mere  item  of  bookkeeping  which  may 
or  may  not  reflect  the  actual  market  value  of  the  product. 

The  total  value  of  products  for  some  industries  includes  a cer- 
tain amount  of  dujilication,  due  to  the  fact  that  the  crude  product 
of  some  operators  was  used  as  material  hy  others  whose  mines  or 
quarries  were  equipped  with  dressing  or  refining  plants;  the  total 
value  of  products  for  the  industry,  accordingly,  includes  both  the 
crude  product  and  the  refined  product  made  from  it.  In  order  to 
eliminate  this  duplication  and  to  obtain  the  approximate  value  of 
products  for  each  industry,  the  cost  of  such  materials,  which  is  shown 
in  a separate  column  in  the  general  tables  for  producing  mines, 
should  be  subtracted  from  the  total  value  of  products  for  the 
industry.  There  is,  however,  a certain  degree  of  inaccuracy  in- 
volved in  such  a computation,  because  the  purchaser  of  the  crude 
product  usually  figures  freight  as  a part  of  the  cost  of  his  materials, 
whereas  the  value  reported  by  the  producer  represents  the  selling 
value  at  the  mine. 

Cost  of  production  and  profits. — It  can  be  seen  from  the  preceding 
explanations  that  the  difference  between  the  reported  value  of 
products  and  the  total  expenses  reported  does  not  accurately  repre- 
sent profits.  As  already  stated  the  product  reported  usually  repre- 
sents that  sold  rather  than  the  actual  output  in  producing  which  the 
expenses  were  incurred.  Furthermore,  the  census  inquiries  did 
not  call  for  depreciation,  which  is  a particularly  important  element 
in  mining  because  of  the  exhaustion  of  the  mine.  Few  mining  con- 
cerns keep  a separate  account  for  depreciation.  Moreover,  the 
heterogeneous  character  of  the  returns  regarding  capital  precludes 
the  computation,  from  census  statistics,  of  the  rate  of  return  on 
the  investment. 

Capital. — The  census  schedule  required  every  operator  to  state 
the  total  amount  of  capital  invested  in  the  enterprise  on  the  last  day 
of  the  business  year  reported,  as  shown  by  his  hooks.  There  is, 
however,  a great  diversity  in  the  methods  of  bookkeeping  in  use  by 
different  operators.  As  a result,  the  statistics  for  capital  lack  uni- 
formity. Some  of  the  reported  figures  apparently  represent  capital 
stock  at  face  value;  others  include  large  investments  in  mineral 
lands  which  are  not  at  present  being  actively  mined,  but  are  held  in 
reserve;  still  others  may  include  expenditures  for  unproductive 
mining  ventures  in  no  way  related  to  the  operations  carried  on 
during  the  census  year. 

Persons  engaged  in  mining  industries. — The  statistics  of  the  num- 
ber of  proprietors  and  officials,  clerks,  and  wage  earners,  are  based 
on  the  returns  for  December  15,  or  the  nearest  representative  day. 
The  reported  number  of  wage  earners  includes  overseers  and  fore- 
men performing  work  similar  to  that  of  the  men  over  whom  they 
have  charge;  those  w'hose  duties  are  wdiolly  supervisory  are  classed  as 
superintendents  and  managers.  Because  of  the  very  common  prac- 
tice of  shutting  down  mines  at  frequent  intervals,  it  is  impossible 
to  ascertain  with  any  satisfactory  degree  of  accuracy  the  average 
number  of  employees — that  is,  the  number  who,  if  continuously 
employed,  would  be  required  to  produce  the  actual  output  of  the 
year. 

Primary  horsepower. — This  item  represents  the  total  primary 
powergenerated  by  the  mining  enterprises  plus  the  amount  of  power, 
principally  electric,  rented  by  them  from  other  concerns.  It  does 
not  cover  the  horsepower  of  electric  motors  operated  by  current 
generated  by  the  enterprises  themselves,  the  inclusion  of  which 
would  evidently  result  in  duplication.

Of  the  total  number  of  persons  engaged  in  mining 
industries  in  the  area  covered  by  the  preceding  table, 
only  a little  more  than  one-half  of  1 per  cent  were  in 
Alaska,  while  the  mining  operations  in  Hawaii  and 
Porto  Rico  were  insignificant. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  a certam  number  of  mines  in 
continental  United  States  and  Alaska  were  engaged  in 
development  work  only,  during  the  census  year,  the 
figure  for  value  of  products  in  1909,  $1,255,370,163, 
relates  to  a smaller  number  of  enterprises  than  the 
figures  for  persons  engaged  in  the  industries,  expenses, 
etc.  Of  the  total,  representing  the  value  of  the  prod- 
ucts of  all  mines  in  the  entire  area  covered  by  the  can- 
vass, Alaska  contributed  $16,933,427,  or  1.3  per  cent, 
while  Hawaii  contributed  only  $20,955  and  Porto  Rico 
$5,459.  A rough  but  somewhat  convenient  measure 
of  the  relative  importance  of  mining  operations  in  the 
areas  concerned  is  found  in  the  per  capita  production 
(that  is,  value  of  products  divided  by  total  popula- 
tion), which  was  $13.46  for  continental  United  States, 
$263.12  for  Alaska,  $0.11  for  Hawaii,  and  less  than  1 
cent  for  Porto  Rico. 

The  further  discussion  of  mining  operations  in  this 
chapter  is  confined  to  the  data  reported  for  conti- 
nental United  States  (referred  to  simply  as  the  United 
States) . 

Producing  and  nonproducing  mines. — In  some  as- 
pects of  the  statistics  of  mining  industries  the  distinc- 
tion between  producing  and  nonproducing  mines  is 


important.  So  far  as  it  is  possible  to  bring  the  fig- 
ures in  regard  to  production  into  relation  with  the 
various  factors  of  operation,  particularly  the  number 
of  employees  and  the  expenses  of  operation,  it  is  nec- 
essary to  confine  comparisons  to  the  producing  mines. 
Table  2 gives  comparative  figures  for  producing  and 
nonproducing  mines  in  the  United  States.

ABSTRACT  OF  TIIE  CENSUS— MINING. 


JVrhaps  iJie  most  satisfactox’V  index  of  the  relative 
import aiiee  of  tlie  two  classes  of  mines  shown  in  the 
preceding  table  is  the  number  of  wage  earners  and  the 
amount  of  primary  power,  the  figures  for  nonproducing 
mines  representing  exactly  2 per  cent  of  the  total  in 
each  instance.  The  average  number  of  wage  earners 
pel-  operator  for  the  noilproducing  mines  is  6 and  for  the 
pj'oducing  mines  53. 

Additional  details  in  regard  to  nonproducing  mines 
are  given  in  Table  29  (p.  564),  which  presents  separate 
figures  for  most  of  the  different  mining  industries. 
I'lie  further  discussion  in  this  chapter  of  the  statistics 
for  1909  will  deal  primarily  with  the  producing  mines. 


wilfi  only  incidental  reference  to  the  Jionproducing- 
enterprises. 

There  were  in  all  mining  industries  in  the  United 
States  in  1909,  as  shown  by  the  previous  table,  19,915 
operators  of  producing  mines,  who  employed  1,065,- 
283  wage  earners  and  reported  products  valued  at 
•81,238,410,322. 

Geographic  distribution  of  producing  enterprises. — The 
distribution  of  the  mhiing  industries  by  geograjdiic 
divisions  and  states  is  shown  in  Table  3,  which  gives 
the  number  of  wage  earners  employed  and  the  value 
of  products  for  each  division  and  state,  with  the  per- 
centage which  such  number  or  value  forms  of  the  total.

Whetlier  the  imjiortaiice  of  tiie  mining  industry  be 
measured  by  the  value  of  its  jiroducts  or  by  the  num- 
ber of  wage  earners  employed,  the  Middle  Atlantic  divi- 
sion easily  ranks  first  among  the  several  geograjihic 
divisions,  the  value  of  its  mineral  products  in  1909 
amounting  to  $371,000,000,  or  30  per  cent  of  the  total 
for  the  United  States.  Next  in  order  was  the  East 
North  Central  division,  with  jiroducts  valued  at 
$238,000,000,  or  about  one-fifth  of  the  total.  The 
mineral  jiroducts  of  these  two  divisions  consist  largely 
of  coal.  Other  divisions  with  a considerable  mineral 
])idduction  arc  the  Mountain,  West  North  Central, 
«ind  South  Atlantic. 

'I'lie  prominence  of  the  Middle  Atlantic  division  in 
mineral  production  is  due  almost  wholly  to  the  stiite 
of  f^ennsylvania,  which,  with  ju-oducts  (mainly  coal) 
valued  iit  nearly  $350,000,000  in  1909,  reported  more 
than  one-fourth  of  the  value  of  all  minend  products  in 


the  United  States.  No  other  state  a])proaches  it  in 
importance.  Illinois  and  West  Virginia,  which  rank 
next  in  importance,  each  had  jiroducts  valued  at  a 
little  more  than  $76,000,000,  or  less  than  one-fourth 
the  value  shown  for  I’ennsylvania.  Other  states  where 
the  value  of  mineral  jiroducts  exceeded  $50,000,000 
are  Michigan,  Ohio,  California,  Minnesota,  find  Mon- 
tana. The  eight  states  named  reported  in  1909,  65.4 
jier  cent  of  tfie  value  of  all  mineral  jiroducts  for  the 
United  States. 

There  are  several  states  in  whieb  the  mineral  jiroduc- 
tion  is  quite  insignificant,  in  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia and  Mississijijii  no  mineral  jiroduction  was  rc- 
jiorted.  Rhode  hsland.  North  Dakota,  Nebraska,  and 
Delaware  each  contributed  less  than  one-tenth  of  1 
jier  cent  of  the  whole  value  of  mineral  jiroducts,

of  j)roducts.  Wliere  coal  is  the  chief  mineral  prod- 
uct, however,  the  number  of  wtige  earners  is  rela- 
tively greater  than  elsewhere.  The  Middle  Atlantic 
division  reported  a considerably  greater  percentage  of 
all  wage  eai  ners  in  the  producing  mines  of  the  country 
than  of  the  total  value  of  mineral  products.  In  less 
marked  degree  the  same  statement  holds  true  of  the 
East  South  Central,  South  Atlantic,  East  North  Cen- 
tral, and  New  England  divisions,  while  each  of  the 
l emaining  divisions  reported  a larger  percentage  of  the 
total  value  of  products  than  of  the  total  number  of 
wage  earners.  Pennsylvania  employed  36.1  per  cent 
of  all  the  wage  earners,  Illinois  7.7  per  cent,  and  West 
Virginia  7.4  per  cent,  these  three  leading  coal  states 
together  reportmg  more  than  one-half  of  all  the  wage 
earners  employed  in  mining  industries.

The  foregoing  table  presents  statistics  for  9 indus- 
tries which  in  1909  had  products  exceeding  $10,000,000 
in  value.  These  9 industries  employed  95.2  per  cent 
of  all  the  wage  earners  engaged  in  producing  enter- 
prises and  contributed  96  per  cent  of  the  total  value 
of  the  products  of  mining  industries.  Statistics  are 
also  given  in  the  table  for  8 other  mining  industries 
having  products  between  $1,500,000  and  $10,000,000 
in  value.  The  17  industries  shown  separately  in  the 
table  employed  over  99  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners 


engaged  in  productive  enterprises  and  contributed 
more  than  99  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products 
of  mining  industries. 

Coal  mining  far  outranks  any  other  mdustiy  in  im- 
portance. In  1909  it  furnished  occupation  to  more 
than  two-tliirds  of  all  the  wage  earners  em])loyed  by 
producing  mines,  quairies,  and  wells,  and  contributed 
only  a Uttle  less  than  one-half  of  the  total  value  of 
products  reported.  Of  the  total  value  of  coal  pro- 
duced, the  anthracite  mines  furnished  approximately 
one-fourth  and  the  bituminous  mines  thi'ee-fourths. 
Another  fuel  industry — the  production  of  petroleum 
and  natural  gas — ranks  second  in  importance  m value 
of  products,  but  employs  comparatively  few  wage 
earners. 

Of  the  metals,  copper  and  iron  outrank  the  precious 
metals  both  in  the  value  of  the  product  mined  and  in 
the  number  of  wage  earners,  but  lead  and  zinc  fall  con- 
siderably below  the  precious  metals  in  both  respects. 

General  comparison  for  the  United  States:  1902- 
1909. — Table  5 on  the  next  page  gives  statistics  regard- 
ing expenses,  value  of  products,  and  mechanical  power 
for  producing  mines,  quarries,  and  petroleum  and  gas 
wells  in  the  United  States  for  1909  and  1902,  together 
with  the  percentages  of  increase. 

The  figures  in  this  table  for  1909  vary  slightly  from 
those  shown  in  precechng  tables  by  reason  of  the 
differences  between  the  present  census  and  that  of 
1902  in  the  classification  of  mining  industries.  There 
are  many  industries  on  the  border  line  between  min- 
ing and  manufacturing.  Certain  mechanical  and 
chenfical  processes  required  for  the  preparation  of 
the  mineral  for  the  market  after  its  extraction  from 
the  ground  may  be  performed  either  at  the  mine  or  at 
the  factory  where  the  mineral  is  used  as  material. 
The  practices  in  this  respect  vaiy  from  industry  to 
industry  and  from  period  to  period. 

At  the  Thirteenth  Census  the  production  of  cement 
w'as  classified  as  a manufacturing  industry.  The  burn- 
ing of  lime  was  likewise  classified  as  a manufacturing 
industry,  and  where  the  lime  was  burned  at  the  limestone 
quarry  the  quarr3dng  was  regarded  as  a subordinate  part 
of  the  manufacturing  operations.  At  the  special  census 
of  mines  and  quarries  in  1902,  however,  the  cement 
industry  was  included,  and  the  burning  of  lime  was 
treated  as  a part  of  the  operations  of  the  limestone 
quarries.  In  order  to  make  the  statistics  for  the  two 
censuses  comparable,  the  figures  given  in  Table  5 
include  for  1909  those  for  the  burning  of  lime, 
elsewhere  treated  as  a manufacturing  industiy,  and 
exclude  for  1902  those  relating  to  the  production  of 
cement. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  sjiccial  census  of  1902  did  not 
include  the  conversion  of  coal  into  coke  at  the  coal  mines. 
In  the  Thirteenth  Census  reports  the  coke  industry 
is  treated  both  in  the  report  on  manufactures  and 
in  that  on  mines.  Where  coal  was  turned  into  coke 
at  the  mines,  estimates  were  obtained  for  the  coke- 
manufacturing  operations  and  included  in  the  statis- 
tics of  manufactures.  At  the  same  time,  since  the

mining  of  tlio  coal  and  its  conversion  at  the  mines  into 
coke  form,  in  fact,  integral  parts  of  one  industrial  opera- 
tion, the  complete  report  for  both  processes  is  included 
in  the  statistics  for  bituminous  coal  mines.  In  order, 
however,  to  make  the  statistics  for  1909  comparable 
with  those  for  1902,  all  statistics  relating  to  coke  have 
been  eliminated  from  the  table  which  follows. 

By  reason  of  these  adjustments  the  figures  here 
printed  do  not  correspond  either  tc  those  given  in  the 
report  for  1902  or  to  those  printed  elsewhere  for  1909.

The  item  “taxes,  rent  of  offices,  and  other  sundry

operation  and  development  in  the  tables  giving  statis- 
tics for  1909  only,  is  not  shown  in  this  table  for  the 
reason  that  at  the  special  census  of  mines  and  quarries 
in  1902  the  corresponding  item  of  expenses  included 
interest,  which  was  excluded  at  the  Thirteenth  Cen- 
sus. In  1902  the  item  of  interest  on  bonds  amounted 
to  more,  than  .113,000,000.  The  amount  of  interest 
paid  on  other  loans  was  not  re])orted  separately. 
The  aggregate  expenses  shown  in  tile  preceding  table 
represent  96.3  per  cent  of  the  total  expenses  reported 
for  1902  exclusive  of  interest  on  bonds,  while  the 
aggregate  for  1909  represents  90.6  per  cent  of  the 
total  expenses  for  that  year. 

In  1902  the  products  of  mining  industries  were 
valued  at  .1771,486,926,  but  in  1909  the  value  was 
reported  as  .11,175,475,001,  an  increase  of  52.4  per 
cent  in  the  seven  years.

This  table  shows  that  the  greatest  relative  increase 
in  the  seven-year  period  was  in  the  phosphate  rock 
industry.  The  smallest  relative  increase  (6.3  per  cent) 
was  in  the  mining  of  precious  metals,  the  deep  mines 
showing  an  increase  in  value  of  products  amounting 
to  only  0.4  per  cent,  although  the  less  important 
placer  mines  show  an  increase  of  92.2  per  cent.  Large 
increases  are  shown  for  the  mining  of  copper  and  of 
lead  and  zinc.  There  was  also  a large  increase  in  the 
case  of  anthracite  coal,  but  on  account  of  the  coal 
strike  in  1902  the  figures  for  that  year  do  not  repre- 
sent normal  conditions.  The  percentage  of  increase 
in  the  bituminous  coal-mining  industry  falls  consid- 
erably below  the  average  for  all  mining  industries  in 
the  period  under  consideration.  To  some  extent  this 
is  due  to  a decline  in  the  average  price  of  bituminous 
coal,  for  the  tonnage  produced  increased  more  than  45 
per  cent.

Colorado  and  Indiana  are  the  only  important  mining 
states  that  show  a decrease  in  mining  activity.  This 
decline  in  Colorado  is  manifested  not  only  in  the  value 
of  products,  but  also  in  the  amount  expended  for 
salaries  and  wages,  which  decreased  7.2  per  cent,  and 
for  royalties,  which  shows  a decrease  of  4.4  percent.

Statistics  are  given  for  each  of  the  states  where  the 
industry  in  question  is  important  either  by  reason 
of  the  absolute  value  of  the  product  or  of  its  pro- 
portion of  the  total  for  the  industry.  In  most  of  the 
industries  here  shown  the  production  is  so  concen- 
trated that  the  states  given  represent  upward  of 
nine-tenths  of  the  entire  production,  but  in  the  case 
of  the  lead  and  zinc,  limestone,  and  granite  industries, 
the  aggregate  value  of  the  products  reported  by  the 
states  named  falls  short  of  this  fraction. 


Of  the  value  of  the  products  of  the  bituminous  coal 
mines  in  1909,  Pennsylvania  contributed  more  than 
one-third,  and  a group  of  five  states — Pennsylvania, 
West  Virginia,  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Illinois — together 
reported  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  total.  Includ- 
ing those  just  named,  the  table  shows  16  states, 
situated  in  all  parts  of  the  Union,  which  had  a prod- 
uct valued  at  more  than  S5, 000, 000.  The  anthracite 
coal  production  is  practically  confined  to  the  state  of 
Pennsylvania. 

Petroleum  and  natural  gas  also  show  production 
centers  in  various  parts  of  the  country.  Pennsyl- 
vania leads,  with  a little  over  one-fifth  of  the  total 
value  of  products  for  the  industry,  but  does  not  report 
so  large  a proportion  of  the  total  as  in  the  case  of  coal. 

More  than  one-third  of  the  value  of  products  for  the 
copper  industry  in  1909  was  represented  by  the  product 
of  Montana,  while  Arizona  and  Michigan  each  con- 
tributed over  one-fifth.  More  than  one-half  of  the 
value  of  products  for  the  iron  industry  in  1909  was 
contributed  by  Minnesota  and  somewhat  less  than 
one- third  by  Michigan. 

In  the  production  of  precious  metals  by  placer 
mining  California  was  the  only  important  state,  wliile 
nearly  one-third  of  the  value  of  products  for  deep 
mines  was  reported  from  Colorado  and  over  one-fifth 
from  Nevada.  The  production  of  Alaska  is  not  in- 
cluded in  the  table,  which  relates  exclusively  to  con- 
tinental United  States  It  may,  however,  be  noted  that 
the  canvass  of  mines  in  Alaska  by  the  Bureau  of  the 
Census  gave  $12,762,000  as  the  value  of  the  products 
of  placer  mining  in  that  territoiy.  The  inquiry  of 
1909  was  the  first  attempt  to  secure  information  con- 
cerning placer  mining  in  Alaska  by  census  methods. 
The  wide  extent  of  the  field  and  the  difficulties  of  the 
inquiry  lead  to  the  belief  that  the  product  reported  is 
considerably  short  of  the  actual  product  of  the  Alaska 
placer  mines. 

The  lead  and  zinc  industry  is  geographically  far 
more  closely  concentrated  than  any  thus  far  con- 
sidered. In  1909  Missouri  reported  71.9  per  cent 
of  the  total  value  of  products  of  this  industry  and 
employed  75.5  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners  en- 
gaged therein.  The  phosphate  rock  industry  shows  a 
marked  concentration  in  the  state  of  Florida,  which 
reported  78.7  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products 
and  employed  62.4  per  cent  of  all  wage  earners  in  the 
industry.  On  the  other  hand,  the  production  of  lime- 
stone and  granite  is  widely  distributed.  In  the  case 
of  the  limestone  industry,  the  six  states  which  had  a 
product  exceeding  $2,000,000  in  value  together  re- 
ported but  little  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  total 
value  of  products;  and  in  the  case  of  the  granite 
industry  the  six  states  having  a product  in  excess  of 
$1,000,000  in  value  reported  only  57.5  per  cent  of  the 
total.  In  addition  the  variation  in  value  of  products 
among  the  states  named  in  the  table  is  much  less 
marked  in  the  case  of  these  industries  than  in  most  of 
the  other  industries  listed.

ABS4  IiA(T  TH1-:  CKNSl'S— MINING. 

PERSONS  ENGAGED  IN  MINING  INDUSTRIES. 


Ttio  number  of  persons  engaged  in  mining  industries, 
by  classes,  was  ascertained  as  far  as  possible  for  De- 
cember 15  of  the  year  1909.  In  those  cases,  however, 
where  the  mines  were  not  in  operation  on  that  date, 
or  the  time  records  for  that  date  were  not  obtainable, 
the  numhers  were  ascertained  for  the  nearest  repre- 
sentative date.  In  addition  to  this  information,  the 
number  of  wage  earners,  without  classification,  was 
ascertaiTied  for  the  15th  day  of  every  month.' 

ddie  whole  number  of  persons  engaged  in  connection 
with  producing  mines,  quarries,  and  w'clls,  as  re- 
jiorted  on  December  15,  or  the  nearest  re])resentative 
day,  was  1,139,332,  of  whom  1,005,283  were  wage 
earners.  Since  the  representative  day  was  taken  in 
some  other  month  than  December,  in  many  cases, 
because  the  mines  were  not  in  opeiation  on  December 
15,  as  stated  above, ^his  number  of  wage  earners  is 
greater  than  the  number  actually  engaged  at  any 
given  time.  The  greatest  number  simultaneously 
employed  in  all  producing  mines  was  1,022,885,  this 
number  being  reported  for  November  15.  This  does 
not,  however,  represent  the  entire  number  of  persons 
who  gave  all  or  a part  of  their  time  to  mining  in  1909. 
The  busiest  months  do  not  coincide  for  all  mining 
industries,  nor  for  all  mines  witliin  a given  industry. 
Mining,  moreover,  affords  some  contrast  to  manufac- 
tures with  respect  to  employment.  Whereas  in  the 
manufacturing  cities  there  is  some  opportunity  for 
wage  earners  to  pass  from  one  industry  where  employ- 
ment is  temporarily  slack  to  another  where  labor  is 
in  greater  demand,  there  is  rarely  sufficient  diversity 
of  mining  industries  in  a given  locality  to  permit  such 
a shifting.  Furthermore,  even  within  an  industry  as 
widespread  as  bituminous  coal  mining,  distance  would 
largely  prevent  the  employees  of  a mine  temporarily 
shut  down  from  seeking  employment  in  other  coal 
mines.  The  total  number  of  wage  earners  reported 
for  December  15.  or  the  nearest  representative  day, 
namely,  1,065,283,  may  therefore  be  accepted  as  less, 
if  anything,  than  the  total  number  of  wage  earners 
who  derived  a livelihood  from  mining  during  the  year 
1909. 

Distribution  by  sex  and  age. — Table  10  shows  the 
classification  of  the  persons  employed  in  producing 
mines  on  the  Idtli  day  of  December,  or  the  nearest 
representative  day. 

Women  were  employed  only  in  supervisory  and 
clerical  capacities,  none  being  reported  as  wage  earn- 


^  It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  business  year  for  which 
returns  were  obtained  did  not  in  all  cases  coincide  with  the  cal- 
endar year.  As  a result,  the  total  for  the  month  of  December 
includes  a few  returns  for  December,  1908,  when  the  business 
year  ended  before  Dec.  31,  1909.  In  such  cases  it  was  assunu'd 
that  the  number  employed  on  the  15th  day  of  December,  1909, 
was  approximately  equal  to  the  mimber  reported  for  Dec.  15, 
1908.  The  same  ap]>Iies  to  the  figures  lor  other  months,  some  of 
which  were  reported  for  1908  and  others  for  1910.  The  statistics 
of  the  number  of  wage  earners  must,  therefore,  be  regarded  as 
ajiproximations;  they  are  sudiciently  close,  however,  for  juiriioses 
of  general  comparisou. 


ers  in  mining  operations  jtroper.  It  will  be  noted, 
moreover,  that  the  rejtorted  mimber  of  boys  under 
16  years  of  age,  8,151,  is  less  than  1 per  cent  of  the 
whole  number  of  wage  earners  employed.

Of  the  whole  number  of  jiersons  engaged  in  produc-

officials,  2.2  per  cent  were  clerks  and  other  salaried 
employees,  and  93.5  per  cent  were  wage  earners.  The 
proportion  of  projirietors  and  officials  ranges,  among 
the  industries  given,  from  1.1  per  cent  in  the  copper 
industry  to  31.1  jier  cent  in  the  petroleum  and  natu- 
ral gas  industry.  lairge  ])ro])ortions  for  jiroprietoi-s 
and  ollicials  occur  also  in  the  production  of  the  pre- 
cious metals  and  of  lead  and  zinc.  In  the  anthracite 
branch  of  the  coal  industry  ])roprietors  and  officials 
formed  only  0.7  ])er  cent  of  all  persons  engaged  in  the 
industry.  The  range  of  difference  with  res|)ect  to  the 
proportion  of  clerks  is  much  less  than  with  respect 
to  the  proportion  of  projuietors  and  officials.

Mine  operators  of  the  (dd  type  who  operate  their 
mines  v'ithout  the  assistance  of  hired  help  or  with 
little  help  are  still  quite  numerous,  as  appears  from 
the  fact  that  out  of  a total  of  29,922  proprietors  and 


firm  members  in  1909,  8, SOI,  or  lu^arly  tbree-tenlhs, 
wore  personally  performing  manual  labor  in  or  about 
their  enterprises.  The  industries  in  which  proj)rietors 
of  this  type  were  relatively  the  most  numerous  include 
bituminous  coal  mining,  in  which  45.8  ])er  cent  of  the 
proprietors  and  firm  members  were  performing  manual 
labor;  lead  and  zinc  mining,  and  placer  mining  (surface 
gold  washing),  in  each  of  which  industries  a majority 
of  the  proj)rietors  were  working  in  their  own  mines;  and 
deep  gold  and  silver  mines,  in  which  nearly  one-half  of 
all  proj)rietors  belonged  to  this  class.  There  are  also 
a considerable  number  of  proprietors  and  firm  members 
performing  manual  labor  in  the  petroleum  and  natural 
gas  industry,  but  as  the  whole  number  of  proprietors 
and  firm  members  is  very  large,  they  constitute  a 
comparatively  small  percentage  of  the  total.

mining  industries  and  for  the  nine  most  important 
industries  separately  the  number  of  wage  earners  in 
producing  mines  classified  by  specific  occupation  and 
by  age  group,  distinguishing  those  who  work  above  and 
those  who  work  below  ground.

This  table  gives  further  information  in  regard  to 
the  employment  of  boys  under  16  years  of  age.  Only 
eight-tenths  of  1 per  cent  of  the  wage  earners  in  all 
mining  industries  were  boys  under  16  years  of  age, 
and  of  these  only  three-eighths  were  employed  below 
ground.  The  largest  number  of  boys  under  16  years  of 
age  (3,721)  were  employed  in  bituminous  coal  mining, 
though  3,247  were  employed'  in  the  anthracite  coal- 
mining industry,  where  they  formed  nearly  2 per  cent 
of  the  whole  number  of  wage  earners — a higher  per- 
centage than  in  any  other  industry  shown  in  the 
table.  Most  of  the  boys  in  the  anthracite  coal  indus- 
try, however,  were  employed  above  ground.  In  none 
of  the  other  industries  shown  in  the  table  did  the  ])ro- 
portion  of  boys  under  16  3*ears  ci  age  reach  1 percent 
of  the  whole  number  of  wage  earners. 


Miners  and  miners’  helpers,  quarry  men,  and  stone- 
cutters constitute  the  most  numerous  class  of  wage 
earners,  forming,  in  1909,  58.9  per  cent  of  the  whole 
number  employed  in  all  industries  combined.  The 
proportion  of  miners  and  miners’  helpers  reached  67.4 
per  cent  in  the  bituminous  coal  industry  and  47.9 
per  cent  in  anthracite  coal  mining.  It  was  about  the 
same  in  the  iron  mines,  but  somewhat  greater  in  the 
other  industries  employing  miners.  In  tbe  limestone 
and  granite  industries  quarrymen  and  stonecutters  are 
naturally  the  largest  numerical  group. 

The  wage  earners  included  under  the  heading  of 
“Engineers,  firemen,  mechanics,  etc.,”  constituted 
9.7  per  cent  of  all  wage  earners  employed  in  mining 
in  1909.  The  ])roportion  was  lowest  in  the  coal  in- 
dustry, where  such  wage  earners  formed  5.7  per  cent

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MINING. 


of  tlie  total,  and  liighest  in  tlio  petroleum  and  natural 
gas  industry,  where  they  constituted  G7.9  ))er  cent. 
The  miscellaneous  group  “All  other  wage  earners,” 
which  is  composed  mostly  of  unskilled  laborers,  com- 
prised 30. G j)cr  cent  of  all  wage  earners  em])loycd.  The 
])ro})ort  ion  in  this  class  was  largest  in  anthracite  coal 
mining  (43.1  per  cent)  and  smallest  in  the  granite 
industry  (20.7  j)er  cent). 

In  all  mining  industries  about  one-third  of  (he  wage 
earners  (34.4  ])er  cent)  were  employed  above  ground 
and  about  two-thirds  (G.'i.G  j)er  cent)  below  ground 
Idle  two  branches  of  the  coal-mining  industry  have  a 
larger  proportion  of  their  wage  earners  below  ground 
than  any  other  mining  industry.  In  the  phosphate 
rock  industry  only  3.2  per  cent  of  the  wage  earners 
were  employed  below  ground,  while  tliree  of  the  indus- 
tries named  in  the  table — the  ])etroleum  and  natural 
gas,  hmestone,  and  granite  industries — are  exclusively 
surface  industries. 

Contract  work. — In  addition  to  the  work  performed 
by  wage  earners  regularly  engaged  in  mining  and  by 
the  proprietors  who  contribute  their  own  labor  to  the 
operation  of  the  mines,  a portion  of  the  work  inci- 
dent to  mining  is  done  by  contract.  The  number 
of  wage  earners  employed  by  contractors  can  not  be 
ascertained,  because  the  work  is  temporary  and  the 
same  men  after  completing  one  job  are  shifted  to 
another  place.  A special  form  of  contract  work  com- 
mon in  certain  metalliferous  mines  is  the  workmg  of 
mines  in  return  for  a share  of  the  product.  Under 
this  system  a miner  “leases”  a block  in  a mine  on  a 
royalty  basis;  the  product  is  delivered  by  him  to  the 
mine  owner,  who  disposes  of  it,  deducts  the  royalty, 
and  pays  the  “lessee”  his  share.  In  the  operation  of 
petroleum  and  natural  gas  wells,  httle  labor  is  required. 
This  condition  has  called  into  existence  a special  class 
of  mechanics  who  contract  with  individual  operators 
to  take  care  of  their  properties,  devoting  to  each  prop- 
erty only  a part  of  their  time. 

The  relative  importance  of  work  done  under  con- 
tract, as  compared  wdth  the  work  performed  by  regu- 
lar wage  earners,  is  shown  by  a comparison  of  the  total 
amount  paid  out  in  wages  with  the  total  expenditure 
for  contract  work.  WTiile  the  total  wages  paid  in  the 
United  States  in  1909  amounted  to  .f58G,774,000, 
the  total  expenditure  for  contract  work  amounted  to 
$28,888,000,  which  included  $3,798,000  paid  to  miners 
compensated  by  a share  of  the  product,  and  $1,035,000 
paid  to  part-time  men  for  taking  care  of  petroleum 
and  natural  gas  wells.  There  were  3,2G1  operators, 
or  1G.4  per  cent  of  the  total  number  in  the  United 
States,  whose  properties  were  operated  exclusively 
by  contract  work,  as  delined  above.  This  form  of 
operation  was  more  or  less  general  with  operators 
of  petroleum  and  natural  gas  wells,  of  whom  3,021,  or 
38.8  per  cent,  belonged  to  this  class.  Next  in  point 
of  numbers  wei’c  104  opei’ators  of  deep  mines  of  pre- 
cious metals,  or  G.5  per  cent  of  all  operators  engaged  in 


that  industry,  who  employed  contract  labor  exclu- 
sively. In  all  other  industries  combined  this  class  in- 
cluded only  13G  o{)erators,  or  1.3  per  cent  of  the  total. 

Number  of  persons  employed,  by  months. — Table  14 
shows  the  number  of  wage  earners  reported  for  the 
15th  of  each  month  in  producing  enterprises  in  all 
mining  industries  combined  and^in  coal  mining  sep- 
arately, the  latter  industry,  as  already  noted,  includ- 
ing nearly  70  per  cent  of  all  wage  earnem  in  producing 
enterprises.

For  all  industries  combined  the  largest  number  of 
wage  earners,  1,022,885,  was  reported  for  November 
and  the  smallest,  928, 5G3,  or  90.8  per  cent  of  the  maxi- 
mum, for  April.  The  figure  for  April,  however,  is  only 
slightly  below  the  figures  for  the  three  preceding  months 
of  the  year.  From  April  to  November  the  number 
increased  gradually,  but  December  showed  a slight 
falling  off.  In  coal  mining  the  month  of  greatest 
activity  was  December,  and  that  of  least  activity  was 
May,  when  the  number  employed  was  equal  to  88.7  per 
cent  of  the  number  employed  in  December.  From 
May  to  December  there  was  a steady  increase  in  the 
number  of  wage  earners  employed.  It  should  be  noted 
that  the  figures  in  this  table  furnish  only  a most  unsat- 
isfactory indication  of  the  regularity  of  employment. 
In  the  coal-mining  industry  in  })articular  many  mines 
operate  only  part  of  the  days  each  week  or  each  month, 
and  while  the  number  of  wage  earners  on  the  rolls  on 
the  15th  of  the  month  (which  is  more  often  reported 
than  the  number  actually  drawing  pay)  may  be  sub- 
stantially the  same  from  month  to  month,  yet  the 
average  number  of  days  each  miner  works  during  the 
year  may  be  much  less  than  the  ])ossible  number  of 
working  days.  In  other  words,  there  is  a good  deal 
of  unemployment  so  distrihuted  through  the  year  as 
not  to  cause  much  fluct  uation  in  (he  monthly  returns. 

For  the  princij)al  industries  Table  15  shows  the 
month  of  maximum  and  of  minimum  emjiloyment, 
the  number  rej)orted  for  each  of  these  months,  and 
the  j)ercentagc  which  the  minimum  represents  of  the 
maximum.

The  coal  industry  is  divided  in  this  table  into  its  two 
constituent  branches.  Anthracite  mining  shows 
greater  regularity  of  employment  from  month  to 
month  than  bituminous  mining.  It  will  be  noted  that 
the  months  of  maximum  and  minimum  employment 
for  the  two  branches  do  not  correspond.  For  the 
remaining  industries  the  month  of  maximum  employ- 
ment is  generally  in  the  fall  of  the  year  except  in  the 
case  of  the  production  of  precious  metals  and  of  phos- 
phate rock,  where  it  is  July.  The  quarrying  indus- 
tries, limestone  and  granite  quarrying,  show  a wide 
divergence  between  the  months  of  maximum  and  mini- 
mum employment,  due  to  the  fact  that  they  are  sur- 
face industries  and  much  affected  by  weather  condi- 
tions. For  both  industries  the  smallest  number  of 
wage  earners  was  reported  for  January. 

Prevailing  hours  of  labor. — ^In  Table  16  producing 
mines  and  quarries  have  been  classified  according  to 
the  prevailing  hours  of  labor  per  day  in  each  enterprise. 
Petroleum  and  natural  gas  wells  are  not  included  in 
this  table,  because  many  of  them  are  operated  without 
hired  labor,  or  by  men  who  give  to  each  enterprise 
only  a part  of  their  time.  Neither  are  those  enter- 
prises included  in  which  all  labor  is  performed  by 
contractors.  The  table  shows  the  percentage  of  the 
total  number  of  enterprises  falUng  into  each  group,  and 
a percentage  distribution  in  which  each  enterprise  has 
been  given  a weight  according  to  the  total  number  of 
wage  earners  employed  on  December  15,  1909,  or  the 
nearest  representative  day.  It  should  be  clearly  borne 
in  mind  that  these  latter  percentages  do  not  show  pre- 
cisely the  proportion  of  the  total  number  of  wage  earn- 
ers working  the  specified  number  of  hours  per  day, 
since  in  many  cases  some  of  the  employees  work  a 
greater  oi*  less  number  of  hours  than  those  generally 
prevailing  in  the  enterprise.  The  table  shows  that 
about  one-haif  of  the  enterprises  have  adopted  the 
8-hour  day,  while  the  other  half  are  operated  on  a 9-hour 
or  10-hour  basis.  There  is  considerable  variation  in 
this  respect  among  the  several  mining  industries. 
The  prevailing  hours  are  8 or  less  per  shift  in  more  than 
nine-tenths  of  the  deep  gold  and  silver  mines,  more 


than  five-sixths  of  the  copper  mines,  about  three- 
fourths  of  the  lead  and  zinc  mines,  more  than  two- 
tliirds  of  the  bituminous  coal  mines,  about  three-fifths 
of  the  placer  mines,  and  slightly  less  than  one-half  of 
the  granite  quarries.  The  9-hour  sliift  is  predominant 
in  anthracite  coal  mines  and  the  10-hour  day  in  iron 
mines,  limestone  quarries,  and  the  phosphate  rock  in- 
dustry. In  very  few  mines  do  the  prevailing  hours 
exceed  10  per  sliift,  the  only  conspicuous  exception 
being  the  phosphate  rock  industry,  in  wliich  11  or  12 
hours  per  sliift  constitute  the  prevailing  hours  for  over 
one-fourth  of  the  enterprises.

ABSTRACT  OF  THE  CENSUS— MINING. 

LAND  TENURE. 


In  mining,  as  in  agriculture,  the  land  is  the  source 
from  wliich  wealth  is  drawn,  and  the  control  of 
land  is  an  important  factor  in  mining  operations.  The 
Thii'tecnth  Census  was  the  first  at  which  the  inquiry 
into  land  tenure  was  extended  to  all  branches  of  the 


mining  industry.  Table  17  gives,  for  all  mining  indus- 
tries combined  and  for  the  nine  most  important  in- 
dustries separately,  statistics  of  the  land  controlled, 
distinguishing  the  character  of  the  land  and  also  the 
form  of  tenure.

‘ Inclusive  of  11.689  acres  reported  both  in  acreage  owned  and  acreage  held  under  lease. 
2 Inclusive  of  10,975  acres  reported  both  in  acreage  owned  and  acreage  held  under  lease. 


Tlie  total  acreage  of  all  land  controlled  by  producing 
enterprises  was  24,216,000  acres.  Of  course,  not  all 
of  this  area  was  in  actual  use,  large  tracts  being  held 
in  reserve.  The  greater  part  of  this  land  was  mineral 
and  oil  land,  but  there  were  1,139,000  acres  of  timber 
land  and  1,662,000  acres  of  other  land.  Under  these 
two  headings  are  comprised  land  which  had  not  been 
prospected  and  whose  mineral  resources  were  still  un- 
known, as  well  as  some  land  used  for  building  and 
other  purposes. 

In  comparing  the  statistics  of  land  controlled  for 
different  industries  or  different  states,  it  should  be 
noted  that  the  area  of  land  is  not  necessarily  an  index 
of  the  importance  of  the  holdings,  as  some  land  is  far 
more  rich  in  minerals  than  other  land. 

Of  the  total  area  controlled  by  operators  of  mining 
enterprises  in  1909,  more  than  one-half  was  connected 
with  the  petroleum  and  natural  gas  industries.  Of  the 
remainder,  by  far  the  largest  part  Avas  reported  for 
the  coal  industry.  Tlie  holdings  of  the  bituminous 
mines  are  far  more  extensive  in  comparison  witli 
the  value  of  the  products  of  those  mines  than  tliose 
of  the  anthracite  mines.  The  holdings  of  land  by 
operators  of  iron  mines  are  also  very  considerable. 
Some  indication  of  the  amount  of  reserve  land  lield 


in  the  different  industries  is  afforded  by  the  propor- 
tion reported  under  the  description  of  “Timber  land” 
and  “Other  land.”  This  proportion  is  greatest  in  the 
iron  industry. 

Of  the  total  amount  of  land  controlled  by  mine 
operators,  38.8  per  cent  was  owned  by  the  operators 
themselves  and  the  remainder  held  under  lease.  The 
petroleum  and  natural  gas  industry,  in  which  most  of 
the  land  is  held  under  lease,  presents  a marked  con- 
trast to  all  the  other  industries  shown  in  the  table. 
Excluding  the  land  controlled  in  the  jietroleum  and 
natural  gas  industry,  operators  in  other  mining  indus- 
tries controlled  11,521,000  acres,  of  which  8,703,000 
acres,  or  75.5  per  cent,  were  owned  by  the  operators. 
The  two  industries  showing  the  ividest  departure  from 
this  proportion  are  the  copper  industry,  in  which  the 
operators  owned  98.2  per  cent  of  the  land  controlled, 
and  the  phosphate  rock  industry,  where  the  proportion 
of  land  owned  was  96.2  per  cent.  The  proportions 
owned  in  the  coal  industry  and  its  two  branches — 
72.7  per  cent  for  the  industry  as  a whole,  68.1  per  cent 
for  the  anthracite  branch,  and  73  per  cent  for  the 
bituminous  branch — fell  somewhat  below  the  propor- 
i tion  given  above  for  all  mining  industries  exclusive  of 
I (he  petroleum  and  natural  gas  industry. 


FORM  OF  ORGANIZATION. 


Table  18  on  the  next  page  has  for  its  purpose  the 
presentation  of  conditions  with  respect  to  the  form 
of  organization  of  producing  mining  enterprises  for  all 
mining  industries  combined  and  the  nine  leading 
industries  separately. 


The  most  important  distinction  brought  out  by  the 
table  is  that  between  corporate  and  all  other  forms  of 
organization.  Among  19,915  operators  of  producing 
mines,  quarries,  and  wells,  7,041,  or  35.4  per  cent, 
were  corporations.  These  iiKjorporated  enterprises, 


INDUSTRIES  AND  STATES. 


553 


howe,vcr,  employed  90.6  per  cent  of  the  Wii"e  earners 
engaged  in  mining  enterprises,  and  reported  91.4  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  products.  Individuals 
formed  32.1  per  cent  of  tlie  whole  number  of  o])erators, 
hut  they  employed  only  3.9  per  cent  of  the  wage 
earners  and  are  credited  with  oidy  3 per  cent  of  the 
total  value  of  ])roducts.  The  proportions  for  firms 
differ  hut  little  from  those  for  individuals,  being 
slightly  less  in  the  case  of  the  number  of  operators 
and  slightly  greater  in  the  case  of  the  number  of  wage 
earners  and  the  value  of  products.  Moreover,  it  may 
be  noted  that  while  the  average  value  of  products  was 
SI  60,832  per  operator  for  corporations,  it  was  only 
S9,136  for  firms  and  only  S5,723  for  individuals. 

Corporations  constituted  a majority  of  the  opera- 
tors in  the  phosphate  rock  industry  (88.2  per  cent), 
the  iron  industry  (73.3  per  cent),  the  copper  indus- 
try (67.4  per  cent),  and  the  coal  industry  (52.6  per 
cent).  In  the  copper  industry  corporations  employed 
99  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  wage  earners. 
Other  industries  where  a very  large  percentage  of 
the  wage  earners  were  employed  by  corporations 
are  iron  muiing  (98.1  per  cent),  the  phosphate  rock 
industry  (95.8  per  cent),  and  coal  mining  (93.6  per 
cent).  More  than  90  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of 
products  in  the  mining  industry  as  a whole  was  cred- 
ited to  corporations.  The  largest  percentages  for 
the  individual  industries  were  as  follows:  The  iron 
industry,  99.6  per  cent;  the  copper  industry,  99.1  per 
cent;  the  phosphate  rock  industry,  96.4  per  cent;  the 
coal-mining  industry,  94.4  per  cent;  and  the  precious 
metal  industries,  92.2  per  cent.  The  two  quarrying 
industries — the  limestone  and  gi’anite  industries — are 
the  only  ones  shown  in  the  table  in  which  as  much 
as  25  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products  is 
credited  to  other  than  corporate  enterprises. 

SIZE  OF  e: 

The  tendency  toward  concentration  in  the  mining 
industries  can  be  measured  by  a classification  of  mine 
operators  according  to  the  number  of  wage  earners 
employed  or  according  to  the  value  of  the  products 
per  operator. 

Classification  according  to  number  of  wage  earners. — 
Table  19,  on  the  next  page,  gives,  for  all  mineral  indus- 
tries combined  and  for  the  most  important  individual 
industries,  a classification  of  producing  enterprises 
according  to  the  number  of  wage  earners  employed, 
and  shows  for  each  class  the  number  of  operators  and 
the  number  of  wage  earners.  It  does  not  include  those 
mines  and  quarries  which  were  worked  on  contract 
or  for  a share  of  the  product,  nor  does  it  include 
the  petroleum  and  gas  wells  which  were  cared  for  by 
part-time  employees. 

It  is  worthy  of  note  that  the  most  numerous  type  of 
mine  operator  is  the  small  producer,  about  three-fifths 
of  all  operators  employing  only  from  1 to  20  men  each,

while  more  than  one-tenth  of  all  operators  employed 
no  wage  earners  at  all.  On  the  other  hand,  more  than 
one-half  of  the  total  number  of  mine  workers  were 
employed  by  operators  emplojfing  more  than  500  men 
each,  although  such  operators  constituted  only  1.7 
per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  operators.  The  degree 
of  concentration  varies  in  different  industries.  In 
anthracite  coal  mining  over  five-sixths  of  all  wage 
earners  were  employed  by  the  18  largest  operators, 
each  of  whom  employed  1,000  or  more  men.  Copper 
mining  follows  next,  three-fourths  of  the  wage  earn- 
ers in  this  industry  being  employed  by  the  12  largest 
operators,  with  a force  of  over  1,000  men  each.  Iron 
mining  holds  the  third  place,  with  9 operators  of  this 
class  employing  more  than  one-half  of  the  wage 
earners.  There  is  also  a large  degree  of  concentration 
in  bituminous  coal  mining,  where  77  operators  of  this 
class,  constituting  2.2  per  cent  of  the  total  num- 
ber, employed  nearly  one-half  of  the  wage  earners.

In  the  production  of  petroleum  and  natural  gas  the 
degree  of  concentration  is  not  as  high  as  in  the  min-

however,  employed  over  two-fifths  of  the  wage

earners.  On  the  other  hand,  in  precious  metal 
mining,  lead  and  zinc  mining,  and  stone  quarry- 
ing, small-scale  production  is  still  the  predominant 
type.

A marked  distinction  with  respect  to  the  degree  of 
concentration  exists  between  regular  producing  mines, 
quarries,  and  wells,  on  the  one  hand,  and  nonproducing 
properties  on  the  other.  The  latter  includes  for  the 
most  part  enterprises  which  are  still  in  the  develop- 
ment stage,  as  well  as  others  which  have  had  a product 
in  the  past  but  whose  present  operations  are  confined  to 
the  maintenance  of  the  property,  or  to  development 
work  with  a view  to  resuming  production. 

About  two-thirds  of  all  the  wage  earners  engaged 
in  nonproducing  mining  properties  were  employed  by 
operators  employing  not  exceeding  20  wage  earners 
each.  The  largest  enterprises  in  this  class  were  repre- 
sented by  12  operators  employing  from  101  to  500 
vvage  earners  each.  On  the  other  hand,  more  than 
one-half  of  all  wage  earners  engaged  in  producing 
mines  were  employed  by  operators  with  a working 
force  of  500  men  or  over. 


Table  20  shows  the  distribution  of  operators  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  wage  earners  for  producing  and 
nonproducing  properties  separately.

The  relative  importance  of  small-scale  and  large- 
scale  production  in  mining  can  be  seen  from  the  fact 
that  the  11,384  operators  reporting  products  valued 
at  less  than  $5,000,  though  they  constituted  57.2  per 
cent  of  the  total  number  of  operators,  reported  only 
1.5  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products,  while  the 
164  operators  reporting  products  valued  at  more  than 
$1,000,000,  though  they  formed  less  than  1 per  cent 
of  the  whole  number  of  operators,  reported  57.5  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  products.  The  degree  of  con- 
centration varies  in  the  different  industries,  operators 


reporting  products  of  more  than  $1,000,000  in  value 
contributing  92.7  per  cent,  as  measured  by  value,  of  the 
copper  product,  84.2  per  cent  of  the  iron  ore,  84.2  per 
cent  of  the  anthracite  coal,  52.1  per  cent  of  the  bitumi- 
nous coal,  46.2  per  cent  of  the  petroleum  and  natural  gas, 
43.4  per  cent  of  the  precious  metals,  and  41.2  per  cent 
of  the  lead  and  zinc.  In  the  phosphate  rock  industry 
which  reported  a total  value  of  products  of  $10,781,192 
there  was  one  operator  whose  products  were  valued  at 
more  than  $1 ,000,000.  The  other  mining  industries  do 
not  show  so  high  a degree  of  concentration. 


EXPENSES. 


The  census  does  not  purport  to  furnish  figures  which 
can  be  used  for  determining  profits  or  exact  cost  of 
production. 

Table  22  shows,  however,  for  1909,  in  percentages, 
the  distribution  of  expenses  in  producing  enterprises 
by  classes  for  all  mining  industries  combined  and 
for  the  most  important  industries  separately.  This 
table  shows  that  for  all  industries  combined  61.4  per 
cent  of  the  total  expenses  were  incurred  for  services — 
that  is,  salaries  and  wages — 23.8  per  cent  for  sup- 
plies, materials,  and  fuel,  6.1  per  cent  for  royalties 
and  rent  of  mines,  and  8.7  per  cent  for  all  other 
purposes.

Of  the  total  primar}'  power  used  in  mining,  4,402  554 
horsepower,  or  95.5  per  cent,  was  owned  by  the  mine 
operators,  only  205,699  hor-sepower,  all  of  which  was 
electric  power,  being  rented.  The  total  amount  of 
electric  power  used,  including  that  generated  at  the 
mines,  aggregated  699,420  horsepower.  Nearly  three- 
fourths  of  the  total  rented  power  was  reported  from 
the  Mountain  and  Pacific  statics,  where  the  abundance 

QUANTITY  ( 

The  statistics  relating  to  quantity  of  minerals  were 
collected  in  cooperation  with  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey,  but  the  results  given  in  Table  24 
vary  slightly  from  those  published  by  that  bureau. 
The  latter  relate  in  every  case  to  the  calendar  year 
1909,  whereas  the  census  data  are  for  the  business  year 
of  each  establishment,  to  accord  with  the  statistics  of 
jiersons  einjiloyed  in  mining  industries  as  well  as  with 
the  expenses  incurred.  Moreover,  the  figures  jiresentcd 
in  the  table  deal  with  products  sold  or  used  by  the 
mine  ojierators,  whereas  the  statistics  of  the  United 
States  Geological  Survey  in  many  cases  show  the 
quantities  actually  jiroduced  during  the  calendar  year. 


of  water  power  and  the  scarcity  of  coal  makes  the 
transmission  of  electric  power  ])rofitable.  The  owner- 
slfip  of  water  power  by  mine  operators  was  insignifi- 
cant, except  in  the  production  of  the  ])recious  metals, 
which  is  mainly  confined  to  the  group  of  states  above 
mentioned.  Of  the  horsepower  generated  by  gas  or 
gasoline  engines,  91 .6  per  cent  was  utilized  in  the  petro- 
leum and  natural  gas  industry. 

MINEEALS. 

For  metalliferous,  other  than  iron,  mines  the  United 
States  Geological  Survey  jiublishes  the  (piantities  of 
metals  recovered  by  refineries  which  the  ore  ultimately 
reaches,  whereas  Table  24  relates  to  the  crude  prod- 
ucts sold  by  mine  operators.  Thus  the  gold  content 
of  all  domestic  ore  mined  in  continent  al  ITnited  Stat  es, 
and  sold  in  the  crude  state,  together  \\’ith  the  assay 
content  of  mill  and  placer  bullion,  as  given  in  the  table, 
aggregated  3,876,943  fine  ounces,  whereas  the  ju'oduc- 
tion  of  refined  gold  in  continental  United  States,  as 
estimated  by  the  United  States  Geological  Survey 
in  cooj)cration  with  the  Director  of  the  Mint,  was 
3,837,773  ounces;  the  dill'crence  does  not  exceed  1

por  cent  of  the  total  production.  Likewise,  the  assay 
content  of  all  silver  ore  and  mill  and  placer  bullion 
])roduced  in  the  Ignited  States,  as  reported  by  mine 
operators,  was  57,294,492  ounces,  whereas  the  total 
production  of  refined  bullion  in  the  United  States,  in- 
cluding' Alaska,  as  estimated  by  the  Director  of  the 
Mint  and  rei)orted  by  refineries  to  the  Bureau  of  the

2 In  some  cases  the  same  operator  conducted  two  or  more  quarries  producing  different  kinds  of  stone,  all  quarries  being  managed  through  one  central  administra- 
tive oflice.  In  such  Instances  it  was  Impossible  to  assign  the  corporate  officers  and  the  central  office  force  to  any  particular  quarry;  this  was  also  tho  case  in  respect  to 
taxes,  which  were  reported  in  a lump  sum  for  all  properties.  Tho  total  central  office  expenses  wore  accordingly  apjwrtioned  among  tho  sever, ,1  industries  in  proportion 
to  the  total  expenses  of  each,  and  the  estimated  amounts  of  such  administrative  expenses  were  added  to  “.Sundry  expenses’’  for  each  industry.  In  the  totals  for 
“ Structural  materials.’’  however,  the  number  of  officers  and  salaried  employees,  as  well  as  their  salaries,  and  the  amount  of  taxes,  appear  under  tho  proper  heads.  The 
amounts  thus  included  in  the  item  of  “ Sundry  expenses  ’’  for  individual  industries  and  distributed  in  the  totals  for  “ Structural  materials  ’’  are  as  follows;  Officers, 
$389,239;  clerks,  $242,325;  and  taxes,  $27,767.

Chapter  1. 

NUMBER  OF  INHABITANTS. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  gives  the  population  of 
Illinois,  by  counties  and  minor  civil  divisions,  as  enu- 
merated at  the  Thirteenth  Census,  taken  as  of  April  15, 
1910,  with  comparative  statements  of  population  where 
possible,  and  a statement  and  discussion  for  the  state 
as  a whole  of  the  population  living  in  urban  and  in 
rural  territory.  The  statistics  are  given  in  detail  in 
two  general  tables. 

Table  1 (p.  574)  shows  the  population  of  Illinois, 
distributed  according  to  counties  and  minor  civil 
divisions,  at  the  last  three  censuses,  namely,  those  of 
1910,  1900,  and  1890.  The  arrangement  of  counties 
and  of  the  primary  divisions  in  each  county  is  alpha- 
betical. The  figures  for  all  secondary  divisions  except 
Quincy  city  are  printed  in  italics.  The  changes  in 
boundaries,  name,  or  form  of  organization  that  have 
taken  place  since  1900  are  indicated  in  the  foot- 
notes to  the  table.  For  changes  between  1890  and 
1900  reference  must  be  made  to  the  census  report  of 
1900. 

It  may  be  noticed  that  the  county  totals  as  given  in 
Table  1 for  1900  and  1890  sometimes  exceed  the  aggre- 
gate population  of  the  minor  civil  divisions  as  shown 
in  the  table.  This  is  due  in  the  case  of  some  counties 
to  the  numerous  territorial  changes  that  have  been 
made  in  the  minor  civil  divisions  since  1890  and  in  the 
case  of  certain  counties  for  which  the  population  was 
returned  by  precincts  or  townships  in  1910  to  the  fact 
that  it  was  not  so  returned  at  one  or  both  of  the  other 
censuses.  In  addition,  there  are  several  instances  in 
which  the  county  total  includes  the  population  of  a 
city,  town,  or  village  which  was  returned  as  a primary 
division  in  1890  or  1900  and  as  a secondary  division  in 
1910. 

Table  2 (p.  600)  shows  the  cities  and  incorporated 
towns  and  villages  in  Illinois,  alphabetically  arranged, 
with  their  population  in  1910,  1900,  and  1890. 

HlSTORicAt  NOTE. — This  state  takes  its  name  from  an  Indian  tribe  which,  at  the 
time  of  the  early  French  explorations,  inhabitated  the  area  now  comprising  Illinois 
and  adjacent  parts  of  Wisconsin,  Iowa,  and  Missouri.  The  word  is  the  gallicized 
plural  of  the  Indian  ilUni,  meaning  “man.” 

The  region  now  constituting  Illinois  was  first  visited  by  white  men  in  1673,  when 
Joliet  and  Marquette  ascended  the  Illinois  River  and  reached  Lake  Michigan  by 
way  of  the  Des  Plaines  and  Chicago  portage.  Further  explorations  were  made  by 
La  Salle  and  other  Frenchmen  a few  years  later.  The  first  permanent  settlement 
was  made  by  the  French  at  Kaskaskia  about  the  year  1700,  although  mission  stations 
and  trading  posts  had  been  established  some  years  earlier. 

This  region  continued  in  the  possession  of  the  French,  who  made  a number  of  other 
settlements,  until  the  close  of  the  French  and  Indian  War,  when,  by  the  treaty  of 
1763,  the  “Illinois  country,”  as  it  was  then  called,  was  ceded  to  Great  Britain, 
together  with  the  rest  of  the  former  French  territory  east  of  the  Mississippi  and 
south  of  the  Great  Lakes.  Owing  to  the  hostility  of  the  Indians,  however,  the 
English  did  not  take  actual  possession  until  October,  1765,  when  the  British  flag 
was  raised  at  Fort  Chartres,  then  the  capital.  In  1772  the  seat  of  government  was 
removed  to  Kaskaskia. 


The  population  of  Illinois,  by  counties,  at  each  of 
the  last  five  censuses,  from  1870  to  1910,  inclusive; 
the  increase  during  the  last  two  decades ; the  density 
of  the  total  and  the  rural  population  at  the  census  of 
1910;  and  the  distribution  of  the  population  at  the 
last  two  censuses  according  to  urban  and  rural  districts 
are  given  in  Table  I of  Chapter  2. 

The  tables  and  text  of  the  present  chapter  contain 
few  technical  expressions  whose  meaning  is  not  ap- 
parent. The  census  usage  in  regard  to  certain  terms 
is,  however,  explained  below: 

Density  of  population. — The  density  of  population  of  a state 
or  county  is  obtained  by  dividing  its  total  population  by  the  num- 
ber of  square  miles  in  its  land  area.  In  calculating  the  density  of 
nmal  population,  the  same  divisor  is  used  as  it  is  not  practicable  to 
ascertain  and  deduct  the  exact  area  covered  by  the  urban  districts, 
and  even  if  this  could  be  done  with  accimacy  the  deduction  of  this 
area  from  the  total  land  area  would  ordinarily  make  no  appreciable 
difference  in  the  resulting  quotient.  < 

Minor  civil  divisions. — The  coimties  are  divided  generally  into 
smaller  political  units  which  bear  different  designations  in  the  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  country,  such  as  towns,  townships,  election  pre- 
cincts, etc.  Of  these  minor  civil  divisions  those  which  rank  next 
to  the  county  as  geographic  areas  are  termed  primary  divisions.  In 
many  instances,  however,  these  primary  divisions  contain  politi- 
cal units  of  still  smaller  area,  such  as  cities,  incorporated  villages, 
towns,  or  boroughs.  These  smaller  political  units  are  referred  to 
as  secondary  divisions. 

Urban  and  rural  population  defined. — The  Census  Bureau,  for 
purposes  of  discussion,  has  defined  urban  population  as  that  residing 
in  cities  and  other  incorporated  places  of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more, 
and  rural  population  as  that  residing  outside  of  such  incorporated, 
places. 

The  comparisons  of  the  urban  and  rural  population  in  1910  with 
that  at  earlier  enumerations  may  be  made  either  with  respect  to  the 
varying  proportions  of  the  two  classes  at  successive  enumerations 
or  with  respect  to  the  increase  between  enumerations.  In  order  to 
contrast  the  proportion  of  the  total  population  living  in  urban  or 
rural  territory  at  the  census  of  1910  with  the  proportion  urban  or 
rural  at  the  preceding  census,  it  is  necessary  to  classify  the  territory 
according  to  the  conditions  as  they  existed  at  each  census.  In  this 
comparison  a place  having  less  than  2,500  inhabitants  in  1900  and 

In  1778,  during  the  Revolution,  the  region  northwest  of  the  Ohio  River  was  con- 
quered by  a force  of  Virginians  under  George  Rogers  Clark,  and  later  in  the  same 
year  it  was  made  a county  of  Virginia.  In  1783,  at  the  close  of  the  Revolution,  the 
British  claims  to  all  territory  east  of  the  Mississippi,  north  of  Florida,  and  extending 
as  far  north  as  the  present  northern  boundary  of  the  United  States,  were 
relinquished  in  favor  of  the  latter  nation.  The  states  which  claimed  title  to  lands 
northwest  of  the  Ohio  and  east  of  the  Mississippi  later  ceded  their  rights  to  the 
United  States,  and  in  1787  a territorial  government  was  established  for  this 
region,  then  called  the  Northwest  Territory. 

In  1800  the  territory  of  Indiana,  including  the  area  now  constituting  Illinois,  was 
organized  from  a part  of  the  Northwest  Territory.  In  1809  the  territory  of  Illinois, 
including  all  the  region  lying  between  the  Mississippi  and  the  present  western 
boundary  of  Indiana,  prolonged  northward  to  the  Canadian  line,  was  organized 
from  a part  of  Indiana.  In  1812  the  right  of  suffrage  was  greatly  extended  and  the 
form  of  territorial  government  was  changed  from  the  first  to  the  second  grade,  thus 
giving  the  people  of  Illinois  the  power  to  elect  a legislature  and  a delegate  in  Congress. 

In  1818,  under  authority  of  an  enabling  act  passed  by  Congress  in  the  same  year, 
Illinois,  with  boundaries  as  at  present,  adopted  a state  constitution  and  was  admitted 
to  the  Union.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


over  2,500  in  1910  is  classed  with  the  rural  population  for  1900  and 
with  the  urban  for  1910.  On  the  other  hand,  in  order  to  present 
fairly  the  contrast  between  urban  and  rural  communities,  as  regards 
their  rate  of  growth,  it  is  necessary  to  consider  the  changes  in  popu- 
lation for  the  same  territory  which  have  occurred  from  one  decen- 
nial census  to  another.  For  this  purpose  the  territory  which  in 
1910  was  urban  or  rural,  as  the  case  may  be,  is  taken  as  the  basis, 
and  the  population  in  1900  for  the  same  territory  (so  far  as  sepa- 


rately reported  at  that  census)  is  presented,  even  though  part  of  the 
territory  may,  on  the  basis  of  its  population  at  the  earlier  census, 
have  then  been  in  a different  class.  This  avoids  the  disturbing 
effect  on  comparisons  which  would  arise  from  the  passage,  for  exam- 
ple, of  communities  formerly  classed  as  rural  into  the  urban  group. 
These  two  distinct  forms  of  comparison  are  made  in  Table  I of 
Chapter  2 for  the  state  as  a whole  and  for  each  county  separately 
for  the  last  two  censuses. 


TOTAL  POPULATION,  INCREASE,  AND  DISTRIBUTION. 


Population  of  the  state. — The  population  of  Illi- 
nois is  5,638,591.  Compared  with  a population  of 
4,821,550  in  1900,  tliis  represents  an  increase  during 
the  last  decade  of  817,041,  or  16.9  per  cent,  the  small- 
est relative  increase  shown  at  any  census.  During 
the  same  period  the  total  population  of  the  United 


States  increased  21  per  cent.  The  following  table 
shows  the  population  of  Illinois  at  each  census  from 
1810  to  1910,  inclusive,  together  with  the  increase  and 
per  cent  of  increase  during  each  decade,  in  compari- 
son with  the  per  cent  of  increase  for  the  United  States 
as  a whole.

Illinois  was  organized  as  a territory  in  1809  and 
appears  in  the  census  reports  for  the  first  time 
in  1810.  During  the  50  years  from  1810  to  1860  its 
population  increased  very  rapidly,  the  lowest  rate  of 
increase  for  any  decade  being  78.8  per  cent  between 
1840  and  1850.  The  percentages  of  increase  for  the 
other  four  decades  ranged  from  101.1  to  349.5.  During 
the  50  years  from  1860  to  1910  the  population  of  the 
state  increased  much  more  slowly,  the  rates  of  increase 
ranging  from  16.9  per  cent  for  the  last  decade  to  48.4 
per  cent  for  the  decade  1860-1870.  In  1910  the  popu- 
lation of  the  state  was  a little  more  than  three  times 
as  great  as  in  1860. 

A comparison  of  the  rates  of  increase  for  the  state 
with  those  for  the  United  States,  as  given  in  the 
preceding  table,  shows  that  prior  to  1870  the  popu- 
lation of  the  state  increased  at  a very  much  higher 
rate  than  the  population  of  the  United  States.  From 
1870  to  1910,  however,  except  for  the  decade  1890- 
1900,  the  population  of  the  state  increased  at  a slower 
rate  than  that  of  the  United  States.  During  this 
40-year  period  the  population  of  the  state  increased 
122  percent,  while  the  population  of  the  United  States 
increased  138.5  per  cent. 

Principal  cities. — Illinois  has  242  cities.  Chicago, 
the  largest,  has  a population  of  2,185,283.  Peoria,  the 
second  city,  has  a population  of  66,950.  East  St.  Louis 


and  Springfield  have  58,547  and  51,678  inhabitants, 
respectively.  Of  the  remaining  cities,  8 have  from 

25.000  to  50,000,  18  from  10,000  to  25,000,  36  from 

5.000  to  10,000,  61  from  2,500  to  5,000,  and  115  less 
than  2,500  inhabitants.  The  aggregate  population  of 
the  242  cities  is  3,562,714,  or  63.2  per  cent  of  the  total 
population  of  the  state. 

Table  2 shows  the  population  in  1910  of  all  the 
cities  of  the  state  with  comparative  figures,  where 
possible,  for  1900  and  1890.  The  table  on  page  569 
shows  the  population  of  the  12  cities  having  in  1910 
over  25,000  inhabitants,  as  reported  at  each  census 
since  their  incorporation  either  as  cities,  towns,  or 
villages,  so  far  as  figures  are  available,  together  with 
the  increase  during  each  decade. 

Of  the  cities  included  in  this  table,  East  St.  Louis 
shows  the  highest  percentage  of  increase  during  the 
last  decade,  namely,  97.4  per  cent,  and  Quincy  the 
lowest,  nine-tenths  of  1 per  cent. 

The  population  of  Chicago  increased  486,708,  or 
28.7  per  cent,  during  the  last  decade,  the  lowest  rela- 
tive increase  which  it  has  shown  at  any  census.  Dur- 
ing the  preceding  decade  the  increase  was  598,725,  or 
54.4  per  cent.  From  1840  to  1890,  inclusive,  the 
percentage  of  increase  in  the  population  of  the  city 
did  not  fall  below  100  per  cent  except  for  one  decade, 
1870-1880,  when  it  was  68.3  per  cent.

There  are  4 cities  which  showed  during  the  last 
decade  rates  of  increase  of  50  per  cent  or  more — Dan- 
ville, Decatur,  East  St.  Louis,  and  Springfield.  Six 
cities — Aurora,  Danville,  Decatur,  East  St.  Louis, 
Rockford,  and  Springfield — showed  higher  rates  of 
increase  in  population  for  the  last  decade  than  for 
the  preceding  decade,  1890-1900. 

Counties. — Illinois  has  102  counties.  The  popula- 
tion of  these  counties  ranges  from  7,015  in  Hardin 
County  to  2,405,233  in  Cook  Coimty. 

There  have  been  no  changes  in  the  territorial 
boimdaries  of  the  coxmties  since  1900. 

Fifty-two  counties  have  increased  in  population 
during  the  last  decade,  the  rates  of  increase  ranging 
from  less  than  one- tenth  of  1 per  cent  in  Fayette 
County  to  62.2  per  cent  in  Williamson  County,  and 
the  absolute  increases  from  10  in  Fayette  County  to 
566,498  in  Cook  County.  Nineteen  covmties  show 
a larger  rate  of  increase  than  is  shown  for  the  state 
as  a whole,  which,  as  before  stated,  was  16.9  per 
cent.  Fifty  counties  have  decreased  in  population 
during  the  last  decade,  the  rates  of  decrease  ranging 
from  three-tenths  of  1 per  cent  in  Dewitt  County 
to  17.4  per  cent  in  Pope  County,  and  the  absolute 


decreases  from  66  in  Dewitt  County  to  2,973  in  Pike 
County.  During  the  preceding  decade,  1890-1900, 
only  6 counties  in  the  state  showed  decreases 
in  population.  The_  aggregate  increase  of  popula- 
tion from  1900  to  1910  in  the  52  counties  that 
show  an  increase  is  872,985;  the  aggregate  decrease 
of  population  in  the  50  coimties  that  show  a 
decrease  is  55,944.  The  difference,  817,041,  is, 
of  course,  the  total  increase  of  population  in  the 
state. 

The  maps  on  page  572  show  the  increase  or  decrease 
in  the  total  and  the  rural  population,  respectively, 
of  each  county  of  Illinois  during  the  last  decade.  In 
the  counties  shown  in  white  the  population  decreased ; 
for  the  other  counties  the  different  rates  of  increase 
are  indicated  by  differences  in  shading. 

Density  of  population. — The  total  land  area  of 
the  state  is  56,043  square  miles.  The  average  num- 
ber of  persons  to  the  square  mile  in  1910  was  100.6; 
m 1900  and  1890  it  was  86.1  and  68.3,  respectively. 
The  average  number  per  square  mile  for  the  United 
States  as  a whole  in  1910  was  30.9.  In  density  of 
population  Illinois  ranks  tenth  among  the  states  in 
1910.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


The  density  of  population  is  given  by  counties  in 
Table  I of  Chapter  2 and  in  the  maps  on  page  573, 
both  for  the  entire  population  and  for  that  living  in 
rural  territory,  excluding  in  the  latter  case  the  popu- 
lation of  places  of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more,  but  not 
excluding  the  land  area  of  such  places. 

McLean  County,  with  1,191  square  miles,  has  the 
largest  area,  and  Putnam  County,  with  173  square 
miles,  has  the  smallest  area.  Cook  County,  contain- 
ing Chicago  city,  has  the  highest  density  of  any 
county,  namely,  2,578  persons  per  square  mile,  while 
Henderson  Comity,  with  25.9  persons  per  square  mile, 
has  the  lowest  density. 

Minor  civil  divisions. — The  political  divisions  into 
which  counties  are  subdivided  are  collectively  termed 
“Minor  civil  divisions.”  In  Illinois  the  counties  are 
divided  into  1,616  primary  divisions,  comprising  1,430 
townships,  185  election  precincts,  and  the  city  of 


Chicago.  In  86  counties  townships  are  the  primary 
divisions,  and  in  the  remaining  16  counties  election 
precincts  are  the  primary  divisions.  There  are  also 
1,065  secondary  divisions  in  the  state,  comprising  241 
cities,  51  towns,  and  773  villages.  These  secondary 
divisions  usually  form  parts  of  townships  or  precincts, 
but  10  cities,  1 village,  and  2 towns  are  coextensive 
with  the  townships  or  election  precincts  in  which 
they  are  located,  while  1 city  comprises  the  whole  of 
one  township  and  parts  of  two  others. 

Urban  and  rural  population  compared. — The  follow- 
ing table  presents  the  population  of  lUinois  at  the 
censuses  of  1910,  1900,  and  1890,  respectively,  dis- 
tributed among  places  grouped  according  to  specified 
limits  of  population,  together  with  the  percentage  of  the 
total  population  contained  in  each  group  at  each  of  the 
censuses  named.  The  classification  is  based  upon  the 
population  of  each  place  as  it  existed  at  each  census.

As  shown  by  the  above  table,  the  urban  territory  of 
the  state  in  1910 — that  is,  the  incorporated  places  of 
2,500  inhabitants  or  more — contained  3,476,929  inhab- 
itants, or  61.7  per  cent  of  the  total  population,  while 
2,161,662  inhabitants,  or  38.3  per  cent,  lived  in  rural 
territory.  The  urban  territory  as  it  existed  in  1900 — 
that  is,  the  incorporated  places  then  having  2,500 
inhabitants  or  more — contained  2,616,368  inhabitants, 
or  54.3  per  cent  of  the  total  population,  while  2,205,182 
inhabitants,  or  45.7  per  cent,  lived  in  rural  territory. 
There  has  thus  been  a considerable  increase  in  the 
proportion  of  urban  population.  For  the  United 
States  as  a whole  the  urban  population  constituted 
46.3  per  cent  of  the  total  population  in  1910  and  40.5 
per  cent  of  the  total  population  in  1900. 

Chicago,  the  only  city  m the  state  having  over 
100,000  inhabitants,  contained  28.7  per  cent  of  the 
total  population  of  the  state  in  1890.  This  propor- 
tion increased  to  35.2  per  cent  in  1900  and  to  38.8 
per  cent  in  1910.  The  proportion  of  the  population  of 
the  state  in  the  groups  of  smaller  urban  places  changed 
but  little  from  1890  to  1910,  but  all  the  groups  show 
slight  increases  except  the  one  comprising  places 
having  from  10,000  to  25,000  inhabitants.  The  pro- 
portion in  this  group  decreased  slightly. 


The  urban  population  of  the  state  is  contained  in 
127  cities,  2 towns,  and  15  villages.  Of  the  total 
population,  38.3  per  cent  is  classed  as  rural,  12  per 
cent  being  contained  in  922  incorporated  places  of 
less  than  2,500  inhabitants  each  and  26.4  per  cent  in 
unincorporated  communities.  The  922  places  of  less 
than  2,500  inhabitants  each  have  an  aggregate  popula- 
tion of  675,502.  Those  places  comprise  222  haAong 
from  1^00  to  2,500  inhabitants  each,  with  a combined 
population  of  347,968;  275  Imdng  from  500  to  1,000 
inhabitants  each,  with  a combined  population  of 
192,582;  and  425  having  less  than  500  inluibitants 
each,  with  a combined  population  of  134,952. 

The  above  table  shows  further  that  in  all  incorpo- 
rated places,  including  those  of  less  than  2,500  inhab- 
itants, there  was  in  1910  a population  of  4,152,431, 
or  73.6  per  cent  of  the  population  of  the  state.  The 
population  of  all  incorporated  places,  as  they  existed 
in  1900,  was  3,223,165,  or  66.8  per  cent  of  the  popu- 
lation of  tlie  state. 

Table  I of  Chapter  2 shows  68  counties  having  a larger 
proportion  and  7 counties  a smaller  proportion  of  urban 
population  in  1910  than  in  1900,  while  23  counties 
were  wholly  rural  at  both  censuses.  It  also  shows  that 
4 counties  whicli  were  wholly  rural  in  1910  were  partly

urban  in  1900.  Cook  County,  containing  tho  city  of 
Chicago,  has  the  largest  proportion  of  urban  popula- 
tion, namely,  96.5  per  cent,  and  Rock  Island  County, 
with  72.7  per  cent,  contains  the  next  largest  proportion 
of  urban  population.  In  14  counties  more  than  50  per 
cent  of  the  population  was  urban  in  1910. 

In  order  to  compare  the  rate  of  growth  in  urban  and 
rural  communities  it  is  necessary  in  each  case,  as  pre- 
viously explained,  to  consider  the  changes  in  population 
which  have  occurred  in  the  same  territory  from  one  de- 
cennial census  to  another.  With  this  end  in  view  places 
classed  as  urban  or  rural  according  to  their  population 
in  1910  are  taken  as  a basis  and  the  aggregate  popu- 
lation in  1910  and  in  1900  of  the  same  places  is  then 
compared.  Thus,  as  shown  in  the  table  in  the  next 
column,  the  total  population  in  1910  of  those  places 
which  at  that  time  had  2,500  inhabitants  or  more  was 
3,476,929;  in  1900  the  total  population  of  these  same 
places  (so  far  as  separately  reported)  was  2,666,333. 
It  may  be  noted  that  the  latter  figure  exceeds 
the  total  population  m 1900  of  those  places  which 
at  that  time  had  over  2,500  inhabitants  each, 
2,616,368  (see  table  on  page  570),  by  49,965.  The 
difference  is  the  net  result  of  the  passage,  since  1900, 
of  certain  communities  from  the  rural  to  the  urban 
class  and  vice  versa,  and  of  annexations  of  territory 
during  the  same  period. 

A comparison  of  the  total  population  in  1910  of  places 
having  a population  of  not  less  than  2,500  each  vdth 
the  total  population  of  the  same  places  in  1900,  as 
given  in  the  next  table,  shows  an  increase  of  30.4  per 
cent,  while  the  population  living  in  rural  territory 
shows  an  increase  of  only  0.3  per  cent.  Urban  popu- 
lation thus  increased  nearly  twice  as  rapidly  as  that  of 


tho  state  as  a whole.  For  the  United  States  as  a 
whole  the  urban  population  increased  34.9  per  cent 
in  the  last  decade  and  the  rural  population  11.2  per 
cent.  As  shown  by  Table  I of  Chapter  2,  there  are 
68  counties  in  Illinois  in  which  rural  population  de- 
creased, and  only  5 in  which  there  was  a decrease  of 
urban  population. 

In  the  following  table  the  population  for  the  state 
as  a whole  is  distributed  so  as  to  show,  for  1910  and 
1900,  the  population  of  the  city  of  Chicago,  the  com- 
bined population  of  the  other  cities  having  in  1910 
25,000  inhabitants  or  more,  the  combined  population 
of  cities,  villages,  and  towns  having  from  2,500  to 
25,000  inhabitants,  and  the  population  of  the  re- 
mainder of  the  state.

From  this  table  it  appears  that  the  group  of  places 
having  from  2,500  to  25,000  inhabitants  increased  dur- 
ing the  last  decade  more  rapidly  than  any  other,  its 
growth  being  more  than  twice  as  fast  as  that  of  the 
state  as  a whole.  Chicago  increased  a little  less  rapidly 
than  the  group  of  other  cities  of  over  25,000  inhabit- 
ants; nevertheless,  of  the  increase  in  the  total  popula- 
tion of  the  state  during  the  decade,  namely,  817,041, 
more  than  one-half  was  in  the  city  of  Chicago.

COMPOSITION  AND  CIIAKACTERISTICS  OF  THE  POPULATION. 


Introduction. — The  first  chapter  having  given  the 
number  of  inhabitants  of  Illinois  by  counties  and 
mhior  civil  divisions,  the  decennial  increase  and  the 
density  of  population,  and  the  proportions  urban  and 
rural,  the  present  chapter  deals  with  the  composition 
and  characteristics  of  the  population.  The  two  chap- 
ters cover  all  the  principal  topics  of  the  population 
census  except  occupations  and  ownership  of  homes. 

Description  of  the  tables. — The  greater  part  of  this 
chapter  consists  of  five  general  tables,  which  present 
statistics  of  color,  nativity,  parentage,  sex,  citizenship, 
illiteracy,  school  attendance,  and  dwellings  and  families, 
as  follows:  Table  I for  the  state  and  counties;  Table  II 
for  cities  of  more  than  25,000  inhabitants;  Table  III 
for  places  of  10,000  to  25,000;  Table  IV  for  places  of 
2,500  to  10,000;  and  Table  Vfor  wards  of  cities  of  more 
than  50,000. 

A series  of  summary  tables  (numbered  1 to  16) 
reproduces  from  the  general  tables  the  more  important 
state  and  city  totals,  and  presents  also  certain  addi- 
tional data  relative  to  state  of  birth,  age,  and  marital 
condition. 

On  account  of  the  wide  differences  in  characteristics 
among  the  different  classes  of  the  population,  the  sta- 
tistics on  each  subject  are  shown  accordmg  to  race,  and 
for  the  whites  according  to  nativity  and  parentage. 
Classification  according  to  nativity  and  parentage  is 
scarcely  necessary  for  the  other  races,  smce  nearly  all 
negroes  and  Indians  are  native  born  of  native  par- 
entage, and  nearly  all  Chinese  and  Japanese  either 
foreign  born  or  of  foreign  parentage. 

The  white  population  is  divided  mto  four  groups: 
(1)  Native,  native  parentage — that  is,  having  both 
parents  born  in  the  United  States;  (2)  native,  foreign 
parentage — having  both  parents  born  abroad;  (3) 
native,  mixed  parentage — havmg  one  parent  native  and 
the  other  foreign  born ; (4)  foreign  born.  As  the  second 
and  third  classes  do  not  differ  greatly  hi  characteristics, 
they  are  combined  in  some  of  the  tables ; in  a few  cases 
all  three  native  white  classes  are  combined. 

Since  marked  differences  often  exist  between  urban 
and  rural  communities  with  respect  to  the  composition 
and  characteristics  of  the  population,  the  two  classes 
are  distinguished  m comiection  with  several  of  the 
subjects.  Urban  population,  as  defined  by  the 
Bureau  of  the  Census,  includes  that  of  all  incorporated 
places  of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more,  the  remainder 
being  classified  as  rural. 


The  census  inquiry  as  to  school  attendance  was 
merely  as  to  whether  the  person  enumerated  had 
attended  any  khid  of  school  at  any  time  between 
September  1,  1909,  and  the  date  of  enumeration, 
April  15,  1910. 

The  Census  Bureau  classifies  as  illiterate  any  person 
10  years  of  age  or  over  who  is  unable  to  write,  regard- 
less of  ability  to  read. 

Color  and  nativity  (Table  1). — Of  the  total  popula- 
tion of  Illinois,  2,600,555,  or  46.1  per  cent,  are  native 
whites  of  native  parentage;  1,723,847,  or  30.6  per  cent, 
are  native  wliites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage; 
1,202,560,  or  21.3  per  cent,  are  foreign-born  whites; 
and  109,049,  or  1.9  per  cent,  are  negroes.  The  corre- 
sponding percentages  in  1900  were  47.1,  31.1,  20,  and 
1.8,  respectively,  only  slight  changes  in  the  composi- 
tion of  the  population  having  taken  place  durmg  the 
decade.  In  most  of  the  102  counties,  the  proportion 
of  foreign-born  whites  is  small,  being  less  than  5 per 
cent  in  40  counties,  and  exceeding  25  per  cent  in 
only  6.  More  than  two- thirds  of  the  foreign-born 
whites  are  m Cook  County,  in  which  both  this  class 
and  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage 
constitute  a larger  proportion  of  the  total  population 
than  in  any  other  county  (35  and  41.5  per  cent, 
respectively).  (See  maps  on  page  615.) 

Of  the  urban  population,  32.3  per  cent  are  native 
whites  of  native  parentage;  of  the  rural,  68.4  per  cent. 
The  correspondmg  proportions  for  native  whites  of 
foreign  or  mixed  parentage  are  36.5  and  21.1  per  cent, 
respectively.  The  percentage  of  foreign-born  whites 
is  28.7  in  the  urban  population  and  9.5  in  the  rural;  the 
percentage  of  negroes  is  2.5  in  the  urban  and  1.1  in  the 
rural. 

Sex  (Tables  2 and  12). — In  the  total  population  of 
the  state  there  are  2,911,674  males  and  2,726,917  fe- 
males, or  106.8  males  to  100  females.  In  1900  the 
ratio  was  105.3  to  100.  Among  native  wliites  the  ratio 
is  101.5  to  100,  and  among  foreign-born  whites  127.3  to 
100.  In  the  urban  population  there  are  104.9  males 
to  100  females,  and  m the  rural,  109.9. 

State  of  birth  (Tables  3 and  4). — Of  the  total  native 
population — that  is,  population  born  in  the  United 
States — 76.8  per  cent  were  born  in  Illinois  and  23.2  per 
cent  outside  the  state;  of  the  native  white  population, 
22.1  per  cent  were  born  outside  the  state,  and  of  the 
native  negro,  66.8  per  cent.  Persons  born  outside  the 
state  constitute  a much  larger  proportion  of  the  native 
population  in  urban  than  in  rural  communities.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


Foreign  nationalities  (Tables  5 and  1.^). — Of  the 
foreign-born  white  poj)ulation  of  Illinois,  ])ersons  born 
in  Geijnany  represent  2().5  ])er  cent;  Austria,  13.6; 
Russia,  12.4;  Sweden,  9.6;  Ireland,  7.8;  Italy,  6; 
England,  ,5;  ('anada,  3.7;  Hungary,  3.3;  Norway,  2.7; 
all  other  (‘.ountries,  9.2  per  cent.  Of  the  total  white 
stock  of  foreign  origin,  which  includes  persons  horn 
abroad  and  also  natives  having  one  or  both  parents 
born  abroad,  Germany  contributed  34.7  per  cent; 
Ireland,  11.3;  Austria,  9.6;  Sweden,  7.9;  Russia,  7.8; 
England,  5.8;  Italy,  4;  Canada,  3.7;  Norway,  2.3;  Scot- 
land, 1.8;  Hungary,  1.8;  Denmark,  1.1;  Holland,  1.1. 

Voting  and  militia  ages  (Table  6). — The  total  num- 
ber of  males  21  years  of  age  and  over  is  1,743,182,  rep- 
resenting 30.9  per  cent  of  the  population.  Of  such 
males,  39.5  per  cent  are  native  whites  of  native  parent- 
age, 23.4  per  cent  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed 
parentage,  34.7  per  cent  foreign-horn  whites,  and  2.3 
per  cent  negroes.  Of  the  604,524  foreign-born  white 
males  of  voting  age,  317,339,  or  52.5  per  cent,  are 
naturalized.  Males  of  militia  age — 18  to  44 — number 
1,330,556. 

Age  (Tables  7,  8,  and  13). — Of  the  total  population, 
10.6  per  cent  are  under  5 years  of  age,  18.9  per  cent 
from  5 to  14  years,  inclusive,  19.9  per  cent  from  15  to 
24,  31  per  cent  from  25  to  44,  and  19.3  per  cent  45 
years  of  age  and  over.  The  foreign-born  white  popu- 
lation comprises  comparatively  few  children,  only  5 
per  cent  of  this  class  being  under  15  years  of  age,  while 
four-fifths  (80  per  cent)  are  25  years  of  age  and  over. 
Of  the  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage, 
only  39.5  per  cent  are  25  and  over,  and  of  the  native 
whites  of  native  parentage,  only  43.3  per  cent. 

The  urban  population  shows  a smaller  proportion  of 
children  than  the  rural  and  a larger  proportion  of  per- 
sons in  the  prime  of  life.  Migration  to  the  city  ex- 
plains this  at  least  in  part.  Of  the  urban  population, 
33.5  per  cent  are  from  25  to  44  years  of  age,  inclusive, 
and  of  the  rural  population,  27  per  cent. 

School  attendance  (Table  9). — The  total  number  of 
persons  of  school  age — that  is,  from  6 to  20  years,  inclu- 
sive— is  1,615,914,  of  whom  1,025,053,  or  63.4  per  cent, 
attended  school.  In  addition  to  these,  19,085  children 
under  6 and  20,208  persons  21  and  over  attended  school. 
For  boys  from  6 to  20  years,  inclusive,  the  percentage 
attending  school  was  63.8;  for  girls,  63.1.  For  children 
from  6 to  14  years,  inclusive,  the  percentage  attending 
school  was  87.8.  The  percentage  for  children  of  this 
age  among  native  whites  of  native  {)arentage  was  88.2; 
among  native  whites  of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  88; 
among  foreign-born  whites,  83.8;  and  among  negroes, 
83.  (See  Table  I.)  There  is  little  difference  between 
urban  and  rural  communities  as  regards  the  percentage 
attending  school  for  the  ages  from  6 to  14,  but  of  persons 
from  1 5 to  20  years  of  age,  35.8  per  cent  in  rural  com- 
munities attended  school  and  23.5  per  cent  in  urban. 

Illiteracy  ('Pahle  10). — There  are  168,294  illiterates 
in  the  state,  representing  3.7  per  cent  of  the  total  pop- 
ulation 10  years  of  age  and  over,  as  compared  with  4.2 


])er  cent  in  1900.  The  ])ercentage  of  illiteracy  is  1.3 
among  native  whites,  10.1  among  foreign-bom  whites, 
and  10.5  among  negroes. 

For  all  classes  combined,  the  percentage  of  illiter- 
ates is  4.1  in  urban  communities  and  3.2  in  rural.  For 
each  class  se{)arately,  however,  exccjjt  the  foreign-bom 
whites,  the  percentage  is  liigher  in  the  rural  population 
than  in  the  urban. 

For  persons  from  10  to  20  years  of  age,  inclusive,  ' 
whose  literacy  depends  largely  upon  present  school 
facilities  and  school  attendance,  the  percentage  of 
illiteracy  is  1.1.  (See  Table  I.) 

Marital  condition  (Tables  11  and  14). — In  the  popu- 
lation 15  years  of  age  and  over,  39.3  per  cent  of  the 
males  are  single  and  30.4  per  cent  of  the  females.  The 
percentage  married  is  55.2  for  males  and  58.6  for  fe- 
males, and  the  percentage  widowed  4.2  and  10.1,  re- 
spectively. The  percentages  of  those  reported  as 
divorced,  0.5  and  0.7,  respectively,  are  believed  to  be 
too  small,  because  of  the  probability  that  many  di- 
vorced persons  class  themselves  as  single  or  widowed. 

That  the  percentage  single  is  so  much  smaller  for 
women  than  for  men  is  due  partly  to  the  excess  of 
males  in  the  total  population  and  partly  to  the  fact 
that  women  marry  younger.  Thus  8 per  cent  of  the 
females  from  15  to  19  years  of  age  are  married,  as 
compared  with  0.6  per  cent  of  the  males,  and  46.2  per 
cent  of  the  females  from  20  to  24  years  of  age  are 
married,  as  compared  with  20.3  per  cent  of  the  males. 

In  the  next  age  groiq),  25  to  34  years,  the  percentages 
are  74.4  and  61.1,  while  in  the  age  group  35  to  44  the 
dilTerence  practically  disappears.  That  there  Is  a lar- 
ger ])roportion  of  widows  than  of  widowers  maj^  indi- 
cate that  men  more  often  remarrj"  than  women,  but, 
since  husbands  are  generally  older  than  theii-  wives, 
the  marriage  relationship  is  more  often  broken  by 
death  of  the  husband  than  by  death  of  the  wife. 

For  the  main  elements  of  the  population  the  per- 
centages of  married  j^ersons  among  those  15  years  of 
age  and  over  arc  as  follows:  Foreign-born  whites,  63.9 
for  males  and  67.7  for  females;  native  whites  of  native 
parentage,  54.6  and  58.2,  respectively;  native  whites 
of  foreign  or  mixed  parentage,  46.1  and  51;  negroes, 
51.7  and  57.7. 

These  percentages  by  no  means  indicate  the  relative 
tendency  of  the  several  classes  as  regards  marriage. 
To  determine  that,  the  comparison  shoidd  be  made  by 
age  periods,  since  the  j)roportion  married  in  any  class 
is  determined  largely  by  the  ])roportion  who  have 
reached  the  marrying  age.  Similarly,  the  ]>roportion 
widowed  depends  largely  on  the  proportion  past  mid- 
dle life.  The  ])ercentage  married,  for  males  and  for 
females,  is  higlier  in  rural  than  in  url)an  communities. 

Dwellings  and  families. — The  total  numher  of 
dwellings  in  Illinois  is  1,006,848,  and  the  total  number 
of  families  1,264,717,  there  being  125.6  families  to 
each  too  dwellings.  (See  Table  I.)  The  average 
niimher  of  persons  ])er  dwelling  is  5.6,  and  the  average 
number  per  family,  4.5.

STATISTICS  OF  AGRICULTURE  FOR  THE  STATE  AND  ITS  COUNTIES. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  presents  a complete 
statement  of  the  statistics  of  agriculture  for  Illinois 
collected  at  the  census  of  1910.  Statistics  of  farms 
and  farm  property  relate  to  April  15,  1910;  those  of 
farm  products,  expenses,  and  receipts  are  for  the 
calendar  year  1909. 

Definitions. — To  assist  in  securing  comparability  for 
its  statistics  of  agriculture,  the  Bureau  of  the  Census 
provided  the  enumerators  with  certain  definitions  and 
instructions,  the  more  important  of  which  were  essen- 
tially as  given  below. 

Farm. — A “farm”  for  census  purposes  is  all  the  land  which  is 
directly  farmed  by  one  person  managing  and  conducting  agricul- 
tural operations,  either  hy  his  own  labor  alone  or  with  the  assist- 
ance of  members  of  his  household  or  hired  employees.  The  term 
“agricultural  operations”  is  used  as  a general  term  referring  to 
the  work  of  growing  crops,  producing  other  agricultural  products, 
and  raising  animals,  fowls,  and  bees.  A “farm”  as  thus  defined 
may  consist  of  a single  tract  of  land,  or  of  a number  of  separate 
and  distinct  tracts,  and  these  several  tracts  may  be  held  under 
different  tenures,  as  where  one  tract  is  owned  by  the  farmer  and 
another  tract  is  hired  by  him.  Further,  when  a landowner  has 
one  or  more  tenants,  renters,  croppers,  or  managers,  the  land 
operated  by  each  is  considered  a “farm.  ” 

In  applying  the  foregoing  definition  of  a “farm”  for  census 
purposes,  enumerators  were  instructed  to  report  as  a “farm”  any 
tract  of  3 or  more  acres  used  for  agricultural  purposes,  and  also 
any  tract  containing  less  than  3 acres  which  produced  at  least  $250 
worth  of  farm  products  in  the  year  1909. 

Farmer. — A “farmer”  or  “farm  operator,”  according  to  the  cen- 
sus definition,  is  a person  who  directs  the  operations  of  a farm. 
Hence  owners  of  farms  who  do  not  themselves  direct  the  farm  opera- 
tions are  not  reported  as  “farmers.”  Farmers  are  divided  by 
the  Bureau  of  the  Census  into  three  general  classes  according 
to  the  character  of  their  tenure,  namely,  owners,  tenants,  and 
managers. 

Farm  owners  include  (1)  farmers  operating  their  own  land  only, 
and  (2)  those  operating  both  their  own  land  and  some  land  hired 
from  others.  The  latter  are  sometimes  referred  to  in  the  census 
reports  as  “part  owners,  ” the  term  “owners”  being  then  restricted 
to  those  owning  all  their  land. 

Farm  tenants  are  farmers  who,  as  tenants,  renters,  or  croppers 
operate  hired  land  only.  They  were  reported  in  1910  in  three 
classes:  (1)  Share  tenants — those  who  pay  a certain  share  of  the 
products,  as  one-half,  one-third,  or  one-quarter;  (2)  share-cash 
tenants — those  who  pay  a share  of  the  products  for  part  of  the  land 
rented  hy  them  and  cash  for  part;  and  (3)  cash  tenants — those  who 
pay  a cash  rental  or  a stated  amount  of  labor  or  products,  such  as 
$7,  10  bushels  of  wheat,  or  100  pounds  of  seed  cotton  per  acre. 

Managers  are  farmers  who  are  conducting  farm  operations  for  the 
owner  for  wages  or  a salary. 

Farm  land. — Farm  land  is  divided  into  (1)  improved  land,  (2) 
woodland,  and  (3)  all  other  unimproved  land.  The  same  classi- 
fication was  followed  in  1880.  At  former  censuses,  except  that  of 
1880,  farm  land  was  divided  into  improved  land  and  unimproved 


land,  woodland  being  included  with  unimproved  land.  Improved 
land  includes  all  land  regularly  tilled  or  mowed,  land  pastured 
and  cropped  in  rotation,  land  lying  fallow,  land  in  gardens,  orchards, 
vineyards,  and  nurseries,  and  land  occupied  by  farm  buildings. 
Woodland  includes  all  land  covered  with  natural  or  planted  forest 
trees,  which  produce,  or  later  may  produce,  firewood  or  other 
forest  products.  All  other  unimproved  land  includes  brush  land, 
rough  or  stony  land,  swamp  land,  and  any  other  land  which  is  not 
improved  or  in  forest.  The  census  classification  of  farm  land  as 
“improved  land,”  “woodland,”  and  “other  unimproved  land”  is 
one  not  always  easy  for  the  farmers  or  enumerators  to  make,  and 
the  statistics  therefore  must  be  considered  at  best  only  a close 
approximation. 

Total  value  of  farm  products. — No  attempt  has  been 
made  at  this  census  to  compute  or  even  to  estimate 
approximately  the  total  value  of  farm  products. 
Among  the  numerous  difficulties  which  stand  in  the 
way  of  obtaining  a total  which  would  be  at  once 
comprehensive,  free  from  duplication,  and  confined 
exclusively  to  the  products  of  a definite  period  of  time 
are  the  following: 

(1)  The  duplication  resulting  from  the  feeding  of  farm  crops  to 
farm  live  stock,  when  the  value  both  of  the  products  derived  from 
such  live  stock  and  of  the  crops  are  included  in  the  same  total.  In 
1900  an  attempt  was  made  to  eliminate  this  duplication  by  means  of 
an  inquiry  as  to  the  total  value  of  the  products  of  each  farm  fed  to 
the  live  stock  on  that  farm,  but,  aside  from  the  fact  that  this  would 
not  eliminate  the  duplication  where  the  products  of  one  farm  are  fed 
to  the  live  stock  of  another  farm,  it  is  believed  that  the  farmers 
were  unable  to  make  even  approximately  accurate  answers  to  the 
inquiry,  and  it  was  accordingly  not  included  in  the  schedule  for 
1910. 

(2)  The  fact  that  farmers  may  huy  domestic  animals  during  the 
census  year  which  are  subsequently  sold  or  slaughtered  during  the 
same  year  and  that  it  is  impossible  to  eliminate  the  duplication 
accurately; and  the  further  fact  that  the  value  of  domestic  animals 
sold  or  slaughtered,  or  of  forest  products  cut,  during  a given  year 
(as  well  as  some  other  minor  items)  does  not  usually  represent  a 
value  created  wholly  during  that  year,  and  that  it  is  quite  impos- 
sible to  ascertain  the  value  created  during  the  year. 

(3)  The  fact  that  the  returns  for  some  products  are  incomplete. 
The  returns  for  all  products  are  to  a considerable  extent  estimates 
made  by  the  farmers.  Special  difficulty  was  encountered  in  cases 
where  the  person  in  possession  of  the  farm  in  April,  1910,  when  the 
census  was  taken,  was  not  in  possession  of  it  during  the  crop  year 
1909.  In  such  cases  the  farmer  was  not  always  able  to  report  com- 
pletely and  accurately  the  products  of  the  land  for  the  preceding 
year.  It  is  probable  that  the  returns  for  the  principal  crops  are  in 
general  fairly  accurate,  but  that  those  for  minor  crops  and  for  dairy 
and  poultry  products  are  frequently  understatements,  particularly 
because  the  home  consumption  was  disregarded  or  underestimated . 
In  the  belief  that  no  accurate  result  could  be  obtained  from  sueb 
an  inquiry,  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  did  not  even  attempt  to 
ascertain  the  total  quantity  and  value  of  certain  by-products,  such 
as  straw  and  cornstalks,  which  are  of  considerable  importance,  the 
schedule  calling  only  for  the  value  of  such  by-products  sold.

FARMS  AND  FARM  PROPERTY. 


Illinois  ranks  twenty-second  in  area  and  third  in 
population  among  the  states  and  territories  of  conti- 
nental United  States.  It  has  juxssod  out  of  the  class 
of  states  that  are  adding  materially  to  their  total  farm 
areas,  having,  in  fact,  a little  less  land  in  farms  than  it 
had  in  1900,  and  only  a little  more  than  in  1880.  The 
state  of  Illinois  occupies  the  north  central  portion  of 
the  low  plateau  region  which  constitutes  the  upper  por- 
tion of  the  Mississippi  Basin.  The  surface  of  the  state 
varies  considerably  in  its  different  portions.  The  low- 
est altitudes  are  found  in  the  alluvial  bottoms  at  the 
junction  of  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Rivers  in  the  vicin- 
ity of  Cairo,  where  the  elevation  is  approximately  300 
feet  above  sea  level.  The  plateau  rises  thence  gradu- 
ally northward,  altitudes  of  700  and  800  feet  being  at- 
tained in  the  central  portion  of  the  state,  while  the 
highest  altitudes,  slightly  in  excess  of  1,000  feet,  are 
found  in  the  extreme  northern  and  northwestern  por- 
tions along  the  Wisconsin  hne. 

All  of  Illinois  except  the  northwestern  portion  of  the 
state  and  the  extreme  southern  counties  near  the  con- 
fluence of  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Rivers  has  been 
glaciated  one  or  more  times.  Repeated  glaciations 
have  covered  the  central  and  northern  portions  of  the 
state  with  a covering  of  glacial  till,  varying  in  thickness 
from  10  or  15  feet  to  depths  of  more  than  200  feet. 
The  glaciated  plateau  region  occupying  a considerable 
tract  in  the  east  central  portion  of  the  state  and  again 
in  the  northern  portion,  consists  of  an  undulating  to 
ridged  upland  intersected  by  deeply  cut  stream  chan- 
nels which  are  not  infrequently  bordered  by  alluvial  bot- 
toms. In  the  west  and  west  central  portion  of  the  state 
this  glaciated  upland  is  covered  by  a deep  layer  of 
brown  or  yellow  silty  loam  known  as  the  loess.  This 
material  borders  the  course  of  the  Mississippi  River  from 
the  extreme  northwestern  portion  of  the  state  to  the 
junction  of  the  Ohio.  The  great  southeastern  portion 
of  Ilhnois  is  chiefly  occupied  by  a shallow  covering  of 
loess-hke  material  wliich  overlies  the  deposits  of  one 
of  the  older  periods  of  glaciation.  This  shallow  loess 
is  gray  or  ash  colored,  compact  and  dense,  differmg  in 
this  respect  from  the  browq  or  yellow,  well-drained, 
and  friable  loess  of  the  deeper  areas. 

The  soils  of  the  glaciated  plateau  consist  of  brown  to 
almost  black  loams  and  silty  loams  which  occupy 
the  ridges,  the  gentle  slopes,  and  all  except  the  most 
depressed  areas.  All  these  soils  are  suited  to  the  pro- 
duction of  the  principal  staple  crops  of  the  climate. 
The  soils  of  the  deep  loess  in  the  west  central  portion 
of  the  state  are  prevailingly  brown  silty  loams,  deep, 
well-drained,  and  of  undulatmg  surface  configuration, 
well  suited  not  only  to  the  production  of  the  staple 
crops,  but  also  in  many  instances  to  the  raising  of 
orchard  fruits. 


A veiy  largo  proportion  of  the  total  land  area  of  the 
state  is  topographically  suited  to  the  best  forms  of 
agricultural  occupation,  while  the  great  variety  of  soil, 
the  wide  range  of  climatic  conditions,  and  the  favor- 
able location  of  the  state  with  respect  to  transporta- 
tion and  to  markets  have  made  possible  a diversified 
and  profitable  agriculture. 

The  two  maps  on  the  opposite  page  show,  for  the 
different  counties,  the  proportion  of  the  total  land  area 
which  is  in  farms  and  the  average  value  of  farm  land 
per  acre.  Of  the  state’s  entire  land  area  over  nine- 
tenths  is  in  farms,  and  as  shown  by  the  firet  map  only 
one  county  has  less  than  three-fifths  and  only  four 
other  counties  have  less  than  four-fifths  of  their  land 
in  farms. 

The  counties  in  the  central  and  northern  parts  of 
the  state  have  in  the  greater  number  of  cases  from  90 
to  95  per  cent  of  their  land  in  farms  and  a compara- 
tively large  number  have  over  95  per  cent.  The 
southern  counties  show  in  frequent  instances  from  80 
to  90  per  cent  of  their  total  area  in  farms. 

The  average  value  of  farm  land  per  acre  for  the 
whole  state  is  $95 . 02 . The  second  map  shows  that  in  20 
counties,  mainly  grouped  in  the  east  central  part,  the 
average  value  per  acre  is  $125  or  over.  Bordering  this 
group  and  mainly  included  in  a belt  just  north  of  it  are 
the  counties  in  which  the  average  value  per  acre 
ranges  from  $100  to  $125.  Most  of  the  southern  third 
of  the  state  consists  of  counties  which  show  an  aver- 
age value  per  acre  of  from  $25  to  $50,  while  the 
northern  and  western  portions  are  fairly  evenly  divided 
between  the  counties  in  which  the  average  value  ranges 
either  from  $50  to  $75  per  acre  or  from  $75  to  $100 
per  acre. 

Progress  during  the  decade  1900  to  1910. — Between 
1900  and  1910  there  was  an  increase  of  817,041,  or 
16.9  per  cent,  in  the  population  of  the  state,  while 
there  was  a decrease  of  12,279,  or  4.6  per  cent,  in  the 
number  of  farms,  and  of  271,791  acres,  or  0.8  per  cent, 
in  the  area  of  farm  land.  As  a result  of  the  greater 
relative  decrease  in  the  number  of  farms,  as  compared 
with  the  total  area  of  farm  land,  the  average  size  of 
farms  increased  about  5 acres. 

Farm  property,  which  includes  land,  buildings,  im- 
plements and  machinery,  and  live  stock  (domestic  ani- 
mals, poultry,  and  bees),  has  shown  an  increase  in  value 
during  the  decade  which  approaches  $2,000,000,000. 
This  great  increase  was  chiefly  made  up  of  increases  of 
over  $1,576,000,000  in  the  value  of  land  and  of  $180,- 
914,000  in  the  value  of  buildings.  There  was  also  an  in- 
crease of  $143,793,000  in  the  value  of  farm  equipment, 
including  implements  and  machinery  and  live  stock,  of 
which  more  than  four-fifths  represents  the  gain  in  the 
value  of  live  stock.  In  considering  the  increase  of

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


values  ill  agriculture  the  general  increase  in  the  prices  of 
all  commodities  in  the  last  10  years  should  be  borne  in 
mind. 

The  average  value  of  a farm  with  its  equipment  in 
1900  was  about  $7,000,  while  10  years  later  it  was 
$15,505.  The  average  value  of  land  rose  from  $46.17 
per  acre  in  1900  to  $95.02  in  1910,  this  advance  being 


accompanied  by  increases  in  the  average  value  per 
farm  of  implements  and  machinery  and  of  live  stock. 

The  following  table  summarizes  for  the  state  the 
more  significant  facts  relating  to  population  and 
land  area,  the  number,  value,  and  acreage  of  farms, 
and  the  value  of  all  other  farm  property  in  1910  and 
1900:

In  the  60  years  since  1850  the  population  of  the 
state  has  increased  by  4,787,121,  or  nearly  six  times. 

There  are  251,872  farms  in  Illinois,  or  more  than 
three  times  as  many  as  in  1850.  The  increase  was 
very  rapid  from  1850  to  1880,  averaging  5,984  per 
year.  From  1880  to  1890  there  was  a considerable 
decrease  in  the  number  of  farms,  but  between  1890 
and  1900  the  number  increased  23,470,  or  9.8  per  cent, 
the  total  number  in  1900  being  the  largest  reported 
at  any  census.  During  the  last  decade,  however,  the 


number  decreased  from  264,151  to  251,872,  or  4.6  per 
cent.  The  decrease  during  the  last  decade  was  quite 
general  throughout  the  state,  as  only  22  counties  show 
even  slight  increases. 

The  land  surface  of  Illinois  is  approximately 
35,867,520  acres.  Of  this  area  32,522,937  acres,  or 
90.7  per  cent,  are  included  in  farms,  while  28,048,323 
acres,  or  86.2  per  cent  of  the  total  farm  acreage,  are 
reported  as  improved  land,  representing  78.2  per  cent 
of  the  total  land  area  of  the  state.  The  total  acreage 
of  farm  land  decreased  0.8  per  cent  during  the  last 
decade.  Since  the  I’eported  acreage  of  improved  land 
increased  from  1900  to  1910,  while  the  total  acreage  in 
farms  decreased,  the  percentage  of  farm  land  im- 
proved was  higher  in  1910  than  in  1900. 

The  table  preceding  shows  also  the  rapid  increase 
from  1850  to  1880  in  the  total  farm  acreage  and  in  the 
acreage  of  improved  land.  The  proportion  of  the  total 
land  area  of  the  state  which  was  occupied  by  farms 
rose  during  this  period  from  33.6  to  88.3  per  cent; 
since  1880  there  has  been  little  change  in  this  propor- 
tion. The  proportion  which  improved  land  formed  of 
the  total  land  in  farms  increased  from  41.9  to  82.5  per 
cent  between  1850  aud  1880.  Between  1880  .and  1890 
there  was  a decrease  in  the  total  faim  acreage  as  well 
as  in  that  of  improved  land.  In  each  decade  since 
1890  improved  land  increased  in  acreage.  The  pro- 
portion of  farm  land  improved  reached  86.2  per  cent 
in  1910. 

Values  of  farm  property:  1850  to  1910. — The  agri- 
cultural changes  in  Illinois  since  1850,  as  reflected  in

The  total  wealth  in  the  form  of  farm  property  is 
over  $3,900,000,000,  of  which  90.2  per  cent  is  repre- 
sented by  land  and  buildings,  1.9  per  cent  by  imple- 
ments and  machinery,  and  7.9  per  cent  by  live  stock. 
The  total  value  of  farm  property  increased  from  1900 
to  1910  by  over  $1,900,000,000,  or  94.8  per  cent.  This 
was  a greater  absolute  increase  than  that  of  the  pre- 
ceding half  century,  and  a greater  relative  increase 
than  during  any  other  decade  since  1860.  The  rate  of 
increase  of  total  value  of  farm  property  fell  off  at  each 
census  from  1860  to  1890.  There  have  been  very 
marked  fluctuations  in  the  decennial  increases  in 
value  of  domestic  animals,  the  lowest  increase  being 
from  1890  to  1900.

The  average  size  of  the  Illinois  farm  decreased  from 
158  acres  in  1850  to  123.8  acres  in  1880.  Since  1880 
there  has  been  a net  increase  of  5.3  acres.  The  average 
farm  now  contains  129.1  acres,  and  is  larger  than  at 
any  earlier  census  since  1860. 

The  average  value  of  an  Illinois  farm,  including  its 
equipment,  has  grown  during  the  last  decade  from 
$7,588  to  $15,505,  of  which  about  $14,000  represents 
the  value  of  land  and  buildings,  $1,226  the  value  of 
live  stock,  and  $293  the  value  of  implements  and 
machinery.  During  the  last  decade  the  average  value 
of  land  and  buildings  per  acre  of  land  has  increased 


$54.48,  or,  in  other  words,  has  a little  more  than 
doubled.  The  value  per  farm  of  equipment,  which 
includes  implements  and  machinery  and  live  stock,  is 
nearly  four  times  as  great  as  it  was  60  years  ago. 

Farm  tenure:  1880  to  1910. — The  following  table

1890,  and  1880. 

8 Prior  to  1910  nonspecified  tenants  were  included  with  cash  tenants. 

It  is  significant  that  the  decrease  of  12,279  in  the 
total  number  of  farms  during  the  last  decade  is  due 
entirely  to  a decrease  of  12,960  in  the  number  of 
farms  operated  by  owners  and  managers,  the  number 
of  those  operated  by  tenants  having  increased  681. 

In  1880  about  thirty-one  out  of  every  one  hundred 
Illinois  farms  were  operated  by  tenants.  This  propor- 
tion increased  during  the  following  decades,  and  in  1910 
about  forty-one  out  of  every  one  hundred  farms  were 
thus  operated.  Of  these  41  tenant  farms  almost  15 
were  operated  by  cash  tenants,  including  those  with 
nonspecified  tenure,  and  about  26  by  share  tenants  and 
share-cash  tenants. 

Throughout  the  30-year  period,  1880  to  1910,  the 
proportion  of  all  farms  operated  by  cash  tenants 
(including  those  for  which  the  form  of  tenure  was 
not  reported)  has  been  increasing.  Share  tenants 
and  share-cash  tenants  also  show  a net  increase  in 
proportion,  though  much  less  than  cash  tenants.  In 
actual  number  of  farms  operated,  cash  tenants  in- 
creased rapidly  from  1880  to  1900,  then  decreased 
somewhat  during  the  last  decade.  Share  tenants’  and 
share-cash  tenants’  farms,  however,  decreased  con- 
siderably in  number  between  1880  and  1890,  increased 
greatly  during  the  next  decade,  and  somewhat  in  the 
last  10  years.  In  1880  share  tenants  and  share-cash 
tenants  were  almost  three  times  as  numerous  as  cash 
tenants,  including  those  with  nonspecified  tenure,  and 
in  1910  they  were  considerably  less  than  twice  as 
numerous. 

The  next  table  shows  the  acreage,  improved  acre- 
age, and  value  of  land  and  buildings  for  farms  op- 
erated by  owners  (including  part  owners),  managers, 
and  tenants,  respectively.

land  in  farms  was  in  farms  operated  by  their  owners 
(including  part  owners),  1.7  per  cent  in  farms  operated 
by  managers,  and  43.6  per  cent  in  farms  operated  by 
tenants,  the  percentage  for  tenants  and  for  managers 
being  higher  and  that  for  owners  lower  than  in  1900.

farms  operated  by  managers  in  1910  (234.1  acres) 
was  nearly  one  and  three-fourths  times  as  great  as 
that  of  farms  operated  by  tenants  (135.8  acres), 
which  was  in  turn  larger  than  that  of  farms  operated 
by  owners  (122.6  acres).  The  average  size  of  farms 
operated  by  tenants  and  by  managers  increaseil 
between  1900  and  1910,  while  that  of  farms  operated  by 
owners  decreased.  In  1910  the  percentage  of  farm 
land  improved  was  highest  for  farms  operated  by 
tenants  and  lowest  for  farms  operated  by  managers.

Farm  mortgages:  1890  to  1910. — The  Eleventh 
Census  (1890)  was  the  first  to  collect  data  relating  to 
mortgage  debt  on  farms.  The  basis  of  the  returns  was 
the  “farm  home”  occupied  by  its  owner.  The  same 
class  of  information  was  secured  by  the  })opulation 
schedules  of  the  Twelfth  Census  (1900).  The  agricul- 
tural schedules  of  the  Thirteenth  Census  (1910)  se- 
cured practically  the  same  information,  except  that 
the  basis  was  “owned  farms”  instead  of  “owned  farm 
homes” — a difference  involving,  however,  no  appreci- 
able incomparability. 


The  following  table  relates  to  farms  operated  by 
persons  owning  all  or  part  of  the  land,  and  shows  for 
1910  (1)  the  number  of  such  farms  reported  as  free 
from  mortgage;  (2)  the  number  reported  as  mort- 
gaged; and  (3)  the  number  for  which  no  mortgage 
reports  were  secured.  Comparable  items  are  included 
for  1900  and  1890.

distributed  between  “free  from  mortgage”  and  “mortgaged”  in  1890. 

3 Per  cent  of  combined  total  of  “free  from  mortgage”  and  “mortgaged.” 

In  1910  the  total  number  of  farms  owned  in  whole 
or  in  part  by  the  operators  was  145,107.  Of  this  num- 
ber, 86,713  were  reported  as  free  from  mortgage; 
55,792  were  reported  as  mortgaged;  and  for  2,602  no 
report  relative  to  mortgage  indebtedness  was  obtained. 
The  number  of  mortgaged  farms  constituted  39.2  per 
cent  of  the  total  number  of  owned  farms,  exclusive  of 
those  for  which  no  mortgage  report  was  obtained. 
The  percentage  is  almost  exactly  the  same  as  it  was  in 
1900,  but  is  slightly  larger  than  it  was  in  1890.  It 
may  be  noted  that  the  percentages  given  for  the  tliree 
censuses  are  comparable,  but  that  the  number  of  mort- 
gaged and  unmortgaged  farms  reported  in  1890  are  not 
entirely  comparable  with  the  numbers  reported  at  the 
later  censuses,  because  at  the  census  of  1890  the  farms 
for  which  no  reports  were  secured  were  distributed 
between  the  two  classes  of  mortgaged  and  unmortgaged 
farms.  It  can  be  seen,  however,  that  from  1890  to 
1900  farms  free  from  mortgage  decreased  in  number 
and  farms  mortgaged  increased,  while  from  1900  to 
1910  both  classes  decreased. 

The  statement  of  mortgage  debt  and  of  the  value  of 
mortgaged  farm  projierty  is  restricted  to  the  farms  of 
those  farmers  who  own  all  of  their  land  and  report  the 
amount  as  well  as  the  fact  of  indebtedness.  Of  the 
55,792  farms  reported  as  mortgaged,  38,662  are  wholly 
owned  by  the  farmers,  and  for  36,938  of  these  the 
amount  of  mortgage  debt  is  reported.  Only  these  last- 
mentioned  farms  are  included  for  1910  in  the  next 
table,  which  presents  data  relating  to  mortgaged  farms 
for  1910  and  1890.  In  this  connection  it  should  be 
noted  that  in  1890  the  amount  of  mortgage  debt  of 
farms  with  incomplete  reports  was  estimated  accord- 
ing to  the  percentages  and  averages  obtained  from 
farms  with  full  reports,  but  that  no  such  estimate  is 
here  made  for  1910.  The  table  gives  a comparative 
statement  of  the  value  of  mortgaged  farms  owned 
entirely  by  their  operators  and  the  amount  of  indebted- 
ness, together  with  the  average  value  of  such  farms.

amount  of  debt  for  all  defective  reports. 

The  average  debt  of  mortgaged  farms  increased  in 
20  years  from  $1,684  to  $3,135,  or  86.2  per  cent,  while 
the  average  value  of  such  farms  rose  from  $4,862  to 
$12,314,  or  153.3  per  cent,  so  that  the  owner’s  equity 
increased  on  the  average  from  $3,178  to  $9,179,  or 
188.8  per  cent.  As  a result  of  the  greater  relative 
increase  in  farm  value  than  in  farm  debt,  the  mortgage 
indebtedness,  which  was  over  a third  of  the  value  of  the 
farms  in  1890,  had  decreased  in  1910  to  slightly  more 
than  a quarter  of  this  value.

Nearly  one-third  of  the  Illinois  farms  have  an  acre- 
age of  between  100  and  174;  next  in  impor^nce  are 
the  farms  with  50  to  99  acres  which  comprise  23 
per  cent  of  the  total.  The  farms  with  an  acreage 
between  175  and  259  constitute  15.2  per  cent  of  all 
Illinois  farms.  These  three  classes,  ranging  from  50 
to  259  acres,  together  comprise  seven-tenths  of  all 
farms.  The  number  of  places  “under  3 acres,”  where 
agriculture  is  carried  on,  was  reported  as  less  than  half 
as  great  in  1910  as  10  years  ago.  This  decrease  may 
be  due  to  a different  interpretation  by  the  enumerators 
as  to  what  to  include  as  a small  farm,  or  may  repre- 
sent an  actual  decrease  in  that  type  of  farm.  Farms 
with  an  acreage  of  between  3 and  9 increased  27.3  per 
cent  in  number  from  1900  to  1910.  The  number  of 
all  the  sizes  of  farms  with  an  acreage  of  between  10  I 


and  174  has  decreased.  The  larger  farms,  having  an 
acreage  of  between  175  and  499,  have  increased  in 
number,  while  the  farms  with  over  500  acres,  which 
formed  less  than  1 jier  cent  of  all  farms  at  either 
census,  decreased  by  288.  Farms  between  3 and  19 
acres  and  farms  between  100  and  499  acres  constitute 
a larger  pro])ortion  of  all  farms  in  1910  than  in  1900, 
while  the  proportion  of  farms  between  20  and  99  acres 
in  size  fell  off. 

The  following  table  shows  the  total  and  improved 
acreage  and  the  value  of  land  and  buildings  for  farms 
of  various  size  groups,  consolidating  into  one  group 
the  farms  of  less  than  20  acres  (numbering  in  all 
20,294),  and  also  the  farms  of  between  175  and  499

Of  the  total  farm  acreage  of  the  state  in  1910,  44.4 
per  cent  was  in  farms  of  175  to  499  acres,  and  33.7  per 
cent  in  farms  of  100  to  174  acres,  these  two  being  from 
the  standpoint  of  aggregate  acreage  the  most  impor- 
tant size  groups.  Between  1900  and  1910  the  pro- 
portion of  the  total  acreage  in  farms  of  175  to  499 
acres  hicreased  somewhat,  the  proportion  in  farms  of 
100  to  174  and  also  that  in  farms  of  less  than  20  acres 
remained  the  same,  while  the  proportion  in  farms  of 
all  the  other  size  groups  decreased. 

In  general,  as  shown  by  the  next  table,  the  percent- 
age of  farm  land  improved  diminishes  as  the  size  of 
the  farms  increases.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  buildings 
have  normally  a higher  value  in  proportion  to  farm 
acreage  on  small  than  on  large  farms,  the  average  value 
of  land  and  buildings  is  very  much  higher  for.  farms  of 
under  20  acres  than  for  those  in  any  other  group ; the

Color  and  nativity  of  farmers:  1910. — Prior  to  the 
Thirteenth  Census  no  attempt  was  made  to  secure 
information  on  the  farm  schedules  concerning  the 
nativity  of  farmers. 

Over  six-sevenths  of  the  Illinois  farmers  were  native 
whites,  and  nearly  one-seventh  foreign-born  whites, 
only  1,42.5,  or  0.6  per  cent,  being  other  than  white,  com- 
prising 1,422  negroes,  2 Indians,  and  1 Chinese.  Of  the

born  during  the  six  weeks' between  Ajull  15  and  June  1, 
and  on  the  other  hand  a considerable  number  of  older 
animals  are  slaughtered  or  die  during  the  same  period, 
the  numbers  of  the  dilTerent  classes  of  animals  for  the 
two  censuses  are  not  closely  comparable,  and  the 
same  is  true  in  somewhat  less  degree  of  the  values. 
For  this  reason  the  figures  for  1900  are  not  j)resented 
in  this  chapter,  but  in  the  general  reports  of  the  census 
the  figures  for  the  several  states  will  be  presented 
and  the  extent  to  wliich  their  comparability  is  affected 
by  the  change  in  the  date  of  enumeration  will  be  dis- 
cussed. 

Of  the  total  number  of  farms  enumerated,  246, .353, 
or  97.8  per  cent,  report  domestic  animals  of  some 
kind,  the  number  without  any  domestic  animals  being 
only  5,519. 

Of  all  the  farms  in  the  state,  91.7  jier  cent  report 
cattle,  90.6  per  cent  “dairy  cows,”  and  only  23.7  per 
cent  “other  cows.”  About  1 per  cent  of  the  farms 
reporting  cattle  have  no  daily  cows.  The  total  num- 
ber of  cows  increased  somewhat  during  the  decade, 
while  the  average  value  of  daily  cows  increased  from 
$34.02  to  .139.22.  The  farms  reporting  daily  cows 
show  an  average  of  nearly  5 jier  farm. 

The  census  of  1900  was  taken  as  of  June  1 , after  all 
the  spiing  calves  were  born,  wliile  that  of  1910  was 
taken  as  of  April  15,  before  the  close  of  tlie  calving 
season  and  when  the  calves  on  hand  were  on  the 


native  whites,  41.9  per  cent  were  tenants,  as  compared 
with  38.2  per  cent  among  foreign-born  whites  and  43.4 
per  cent  among  the  nonwhites. 

Of  the  33,394  foreign-born  white  farmers  in  Ilhnois 
in  1910,  17,811  were  born  in  Germany,  4,267  in 
Sweden,  2,422  in  England,  2,185  in  Ireland,  998  in 
Holland,  982  in  Norway,  878  in  Denmark,  679  in 
Canada,  and  626  in  Switzerland.  Other  European 
countries  were  represented  by  a total  of  2,473  farm- 
ers, and  non-European  countries,  other  than  Canada, 
by  73.

average  younger  than  at  the  enumei'ation  of  1900.  As 
a result,  the  calves  enumerated  were  fewer  in  number 
and  of  lower  average  value  in  1910  than  in  1900,  the 
number  decreasing  from  723,322  to  324,079,  and  the 
average  value  decreasing  from  $9.95  to  $7.64. 

Horses  are  reported  by  93.5  per  cent  of  all  the 
fai'ins  in  the  state,  while  33.3  per  cent  report  colts 
born  in  1909  and  15.4  per  cent  report  spring  colts. 
The  average  value  of  mature  horses  is  reported  jis 
$120..55. 

More  than  one  farmer  out  of  eveiy  five  reports 
mules.  The  average  values  of  mules  of  the  dilTerent 
age  groups  are  somewhat  higher  than  those  of  horses 
of  the  corresponding  age  groups. 

Sheep  and  lambs  are  reported  from  26,262  farms,  or 
10.4  per  cent  of  all  the  farms  in  the  state.  Of  these 
26,262  farms,  84.5  per  cent  report  spring  lambs,  the 
number  of  the  latter  beuig  equal  to  68.8  per  cent  of 
the  number  of  ewes.  Ewes  are  reported  from  all  but 
962  of  the  farms  rejiorting  sheej),  and  for  the  farms 
rejiorting  the  average  is  23  ewes  jier  farm.  The  farms 
reportuig  rams  and  wethers  show  an  average  of  over 
6 ])er  farm. 

Of  all  farms,  75.8  j^er  cent  report  swine,  the  average 
number  bcuig  over  24  per  farm  reporting.  The 
average  value  of  (he  swine  reported  as  “hogs  and 
pigs  born  before  Januaiy  1,  1910,”  is  $12.45,  while 
that  of  spring  pigs  is  about  one-seventh  as  much.

The  increase  in  the  number  of  fowls  on  Illinois 
farms  during  the  last  decade  is  20.7  per  cent,  while 


the  value  shows  an  increase  from  .|G,4J  .'5,000  to 
.f  1 1,097,000,  or  82. .3  jier  cent.  This  increase  in  number 
results  from  a gain  in  the  number  of  chickens  suJIicient 
to  oll'set  a decrease  in  the  number  of  turkeys,  ducks, 
and  geese.  The  number  of  farms  reporting  poultry 
decreased  from  247,034  to  237,16.5,  but  the  average 
number  of  fowls  ])er  farm  reporting  incrciised  from 
72  to  90.  The  value  of  poultry  and  the  number  of 
farms  reporting  w'ere  obtained  in  1900  for  the  total 
of  all  fowls  only,  and  not  for  each  kind  as  in  1910. 

Bees  on  farms : 1910  and  1900. — The  number  of  farms 
reporting  bees  has  decreased  from  34,932  in  1900  to 
29,741  in  1910,  or  14.9  per  cent.  The  number  of  col- 
onies of  bees  decreased  from  179,953  to  155,846,  or  13.4 
per  cent,  and  their  value  increased  from  $486,164  to 
$487,733,  or  0.3  per  cent.  The  average  value  of  bees 
per  farm  reporting  was  $13.92  in  1900  and  $16.40  in 
1910.  About  one  farm  in  every  eight  reports  bees. 

Domestic  animals  not  on  farms:  1910. — Most  of  the 
domestic  animals  not  on  farms  are  found  in  cities, 
towns,  and  villages.  Statistics  for  such  animals  are 
shown  below.  No  provision  was  made  by  law  to

As  would  be  expected,  horses  are  by  far  the  most 
important  class  of  domestic  animals  not  on  farms, 
both  in  number  and  in  value;  cattle,  nearly  two-thirds 
of  which  are  dairy  cows,  rank  next  in  imjiortance.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


LIVE  STOCK 

The  returns  for  live  stock  products  obtained  at  the 
census  of  lOlO,  like  those  for  crops,  relate  to  the 
activities  of  the  calendar  year  1909.  It  is  impossible 
to  (five  a total  representing  the  annual  production  of 
live  stock  j)roducts  for  the  reason  that,  as  shown  else- 
where, the  total  value  of  })roducts  from  the  business 
of  raising  domestic  animals  for  use,  sale,  or  slaughter 
can  not  he  calculated  from  the  census  retui'ns.  Even 
if  this  value  could  be  ascertained  and  were  added  to 
the  value  of  the  crops  the  sum  would  not  correctly 
re])resent  the  total  value  of  farm  products,  because,  as 
already  more  fully  explained,  duplication  would  re- 
sult from  the  fact  that  part  of  the  crops  are  fed  to  the 
live  stock. 

Dairy  products:  1909  and  1899. — The  following

The  number  of  farms  reporting  dairy  cows  on  A])ril 
15,  1910,  was  228,267,  but  only  202,336  reported  dairy 
products  in  1909.  That  th'ere  should  be  this  differ- 
ence is  not  surprising.  Doubtless  some  farmers  who 
had  dairy  cows  in  1910  had  none  in  1909,  while  other 
farmers  neglected  to  give  information  for  the  preced- 
ing year,  or  were  unable  to  do  so,  perhaps  because  the 
farm  was  then  in  other  hands.  Dairy  products  in 
general  are  somewhat  less  accurately  reported  than 
the  principal  crops.  This  is  particidarly  the  case  as 
regards  the  quantity  of  milk  produced.  The  number 
of  farms  which  made  any  report  of  milk  produced  dur- 
ing 1909  was  184,993  (considerably  less  than  the  total 
number  reporting  dairy  products),  and  the  number  of 
dairy  cows  on  such  farms  on  April  15,  1910,  was 


PRODUCTS. 

850.000.  The  amount  of  milk  reported  was  320,240,- 
000  gallons;  assuming  that  there  were  the  same  num- 
ber of  cows  in  1909  as  in  1910,  this  would  represent  an 
average  of  377  gallons  per  cow.  In  considering  this 
average,  however,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the 
quantity  of  milk  reported  is  probably  deficient  and 
that  the  distinction  between  dairy  and  other  cows  is 
not  always  strictly  observed  in  the  census  returns. 

By  reason  of  the  incompleteness  of  the  returns  for 
milk  produced,  the  Census  Bureau  has  made  no 
attempt  to  determine  the  total  value  of  dairy  products 
for  1909.  For  convenience  a partial  total  has  been  pre- 
sented, comprising  the  reported  value  of  milk,  cream, 
and  butter  fat  sold  and  the  reported  value  of  butter 
and  cheese  made,  whether  for  home  consumption  or 
for  sale.  The  total  thus  obtained  for  1909  is  $31,- 

542.000,  which  may  be  defined  as  the  total  value  of 
dairy  products  exclusive  of  milk  and  cream  used  on  the 
farm  producing. 

About  one-half  of  the  milk  produced  in  Illinois  in 
1909  was  sold  as  such.  A comparatively  large 
quantity  of  milk  and  cream  was  sold  on  the  butter 
fat  basis.  The  butter  made  on  farms  was  valued  at 
$10,493,000. 

Comparisons  are  made  between  1909  and  1899  for 
but  few  of  the  census  items  relating  to  dairy  products, 
for  the  reason  that  in  1899  estimates  were  made  for 
farms  with  incomplete  reports,  which  was  not  done  at 
the  census  of  1910.  The  figures  for  milk  produced 
and  milk  sold  are  particularly  affected,  but  those  for 
butter  and  cheese  are  approximately  comparable. 
The  table  shows  a material  decrease  between  1899 
and  1909  in  the  amount  of  butter  made  and  a still 
greater  relative  decrease  in  the  production  of  cheese. 

Wool:  1909  and  1899. — The  next  table  gives  sta- 
tistics as  to  the  pi’oduction  of  wool  on  farms,  the 
figures  being  partly  based  on  estimates.^ 

The  total  number  of  sheep  of  shearing  age  in  Illinois 
on  April  15,  1910,  was  658,000,  representing  an  increase 
of  4.7  per  cent  as  compared  with  the  number  on  June  1, 
1900  (629,000).  The  approximate  production  of  wool 
during  1909  was  682,000  fleeces,  weighing  4,971,000 
pounds  and  valued  at  $1,299,000.  Of  these  totals 

‘ Farmers  should  be  able,  in  general,  to  report  the  production  of 
wool  more  accurately  than  that  of  dairy  producte.  There  were, 
however,  9,543  farmers  who  reported  the  possession  of  180,881 
sheep  of  shearing  age  on  April  15,  1910,  without  reporting  any  wcwl 
produced  in  1909.  Probably  in  a large  proportion  of  cirses  this 
failure  was  due  to  the  fact  that  they  dief  not  have  these  sheep, 
or  did  not  occupy  the  same  farm,  during  the  preceding  year.  The 
returns  of  farms  reporting  wool  in  1909  but  no  sheep  of  shearing  age 
on  April  15,  1910,  would  partially  make  up  this  deficiency,  but  it 
is  believed  that  in  many  cases  enumerators,  having  found  that  a 
farm  had  no  sheep  in  1910,  omitted  the  inquiry  as  to  wmil  produced 
in  1909  and  thus  missed  more  or  less  wool  actually  produced.  It  is 
a fairly  safe  iussumption  that  the  entire  production  of  wool  in  1909 
bore  tiie  same  relation  to  the  entire  number  of  sheep  of  shearing 
age  on  April  15,  1910,  as  the  production  of  wool  on  those  farms 
reporting  noth  production  and  sheep  bore  to  the  number  of  sheep- 
reported  on  such  farms.  Statistics  for  this  group  of  farms  are  given 
in  the  table,  and  the  total  wool  jiroduct,  estimateci  on  the  basis  of  the 
above  assumption,  is  also  given.

Goat  hair  and  mohair:  1909  and  1899. — Although 
2,040  farmers  reported  12,435  goats  on  their  farms 
Aprfl.  15,  1910,  only  184  reported  the  production 
of  goat  hair  or  mohair  during  1909.  These  farmers 
reported  4,117  fleeces,  weighing  14,922  pounds  and 
valued  at  $4,008.  Although  the  production  is  still 
unimportant,  an  increase  is  shown  over  that  in  1899. 
Many  farmers  who  have  goats  do  not  produce  goat 
hair  or  mohair,  but  it  is  believed  that  the  report  is 
somewhat  short  of  the  actual  production.

The  total  number  of  fowls  on  Illinois  farms  on 
April  15,  1910,  was  21,410,000.  Of  the  237,165  farms 
reporting  fowls,  23,065  did  not  report  any  eggs  pro- 
duced in  1909,  and  20,636  did  not  report  any  poultry 
raised  in  1909.  The  production  of  eggs  actually  re- 
ported for  the  year  1909  was  93,555,000  dozens,  valued 
at  $17,699,000.  According  to  the  Twelfth  Census 


rej)orts  the  j)roduction  of  eggs  in  1899  was  86,403,000 
dozens,  the  value  being  $8,942,000.  The  latter  fig- 
ures, however,  are  somewhat  in  excess  of  the  actual 
returns  at  that  census,  because  they  include  estimates 
made  to  cover  those  cases  where  the  schedules  reported 
fowls  on  hand  without  reporting  the  production  of 
eggs.  In  order  to  make  the  returns  for  1909  com- 
parable with  those  published  for  1899  similar  esti- 
mates have  been  made,  the  method  of  estimate  and 
the  justification  therefor  being  substantially  the  same 
as  in  the  case  of  wool.  The  total  production  of  eggs 
in  1909,  including  these  estimates,  was  100,119,000 
dozens,  valued  at  $18,940,000.  The  total  production 
of  poultry  in  1909,  including  estimates  made  on  the 
same  basis  as  for  eggs,  was  32,353,000  fowls,  valued 
at  $15,404,000.  , 

Honey  and  wax:  1909. — Although,  as  noted  else- 
where, 29,741  farms  reported  155,846  colonies  of  bees 
on  hand  April  15,  1910,  16,726  of  these  farms,  with 
61,304  colonies  on  hand  April  15,  1910,  made  no 
report  of  honey  or  wax  produced  in  1909.  The 
actual  returns  show  the  production  of  1,428,640 
pounds  of  honey,  valued  at  $194,625,  and  26,240 
pounds  of  wax,  valued  at  $6,138.  The  true  totals 
are  doubtless  somewhat  above  these  figures. 

Sale  or  slaughter  of  domestic  animals  on  farms : 1909

of  animals  which  had  been  purchased  by  the  farmers 
during  the  same  year.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


The  value  of  the  swine  sold  during  1909  represented 
about  two-fifths  of  the  total  value  of  animals  sold,  and 
the  value  of  the  cattle  (including  calves)  sold  repre- 
sented about  onc-tldrd  of  the  total. 

The  census  of  1900  called  for  the  receipts  from  the 
sale  of  all  domestic  animals  raised  on  the  farms  report- 
ing and  the  value  of  those  slaughteixid  in  1899,  which 


Summary:  1909  and  1899. — The  following  table 
simimarizes  the  census  data  relative  tp  all  of  the  farm 
cro])s  of  1909  and  1899.  It  includes  not  only  general 
farm  crops,  but  also  flowers  and  plants,  nursery  prod- 
ucts, and  forest  products  of  farms.  In  comparing  one 
year  with  the  other  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
acreage  is,  on  the  whole,  a better  index  of  the  general 


amounted,  respectively,  to  $69,463,000  and  $10,155,000. 
The  item  of  sales  is  not  closely  comparable  with  that  for 
1909,  when  the  inquiry  covered  all  sales  whether  of 
animals  raised  on  the  farms  reporting  or  elsewhere. 
It  is  believed,  however,  that  in  many  cases  the  returns 
for  1899  also  included  receipts  from  sales  of  animals 
not  actually  raised  on  the  farms  reporting. 


changes  or  tendencies  of  agriculture  than  either  the 
quantity  or  the  value  of  the  crops,  since  variations  in 
quantity  may  be  due  largely  to  temporarily  favorable 
or  unfavorable  clunatic  conditions,  and  variations  in 
the  value  of  the  crops  are  largely  affected  by  changes  in 
prices.  (See  also  discussion  of  “Total  value  of  farm

The  total  value  of  crops  in  1909  was  $372,270,000. 
Of  this  amount,  97.4  per  cent  was  contributed  by  crops 
for  which  the  acreage  as  well  as  the  value  was  reported, 
the  remainder  consisting  of  the  value  of  by-products 
(straw,  garden  and  grass  seeds,  etc.)  derived  from  the 
same  land  as  other  crops  reported,  or  of  orchard 
fruits,  nuts,  forest  products,  and  the  like.  The  com- 
bined acreage  of  crops  for  wliicli  acreage  was  reported 
was  20,273,916,  representing  72.3  per  cent  of  the  total 
improved  land  in  farms  (28,048,323  acres).  Most  of 
the  remaining  improved  land  doubtless  consisted  of 
improved  pasture,  land  lying  fallow,  house  and  farm 
yards,  and  land  occupied  by  orchards  and  vineyards, 
the  acreage  for  which  was  not  reported. 

The  general  character  of  Illinois  agriculture  is  indi- 
cated by  the  fact  that  about  four-fifths  (79.9  per  cent) 
of  the  total  value  of  crops  in  1909  was  contributed  by 
the  cereals,  and  about  one-tenth  (10.9  per  cent)  by 
hay  and  forage.  The  remainder,  representing  in  value 
about  9 per  cent  of  the  total,  consisted  mainly  of  po- 
tatoes and  other  vegetables,  flowers  and  plants,  nursery 
products,  fruits  and  nuts,  and  forest  products. 


The  total  value  of  crops  in  1909  was  73.3  per  cent 
greater  than  that  in  1899.  This  increase  was  clearly 
due  to  higher  prices.  There  was  a decrease  of  1.2  per 
cent  in  the  total  acreage  of  crops  for  which  acreage 
was  reported, the  principal  decreases  being  in  the  acre- 
age of  cereals  and  broom  corn,  which  were  offset  in 
part  by  increases  for  most  of  the  other  crops. 

General  farm  crops,  minor  grains  and  seeds,  and 
snndry  minor  crops:  1879  to  1909. — The  leading 
crops  shown  in  the  next  table,  in  the  order  of  their 
importance  as  judged  by  their  value,  are  corn, 
$198,350,000;  oats,  $59,694,000;  hay  and  forage, 
$40,560,000;  wheat,  $38,001,000;  potatoes,  $6,402,000; 
and  broom  corn,  $1,457,000.  It  will  bo  observed, 
however,  that  several  crops,  statistics  for  which  ap- 
pear elsewhere,  are  more  inqiortant  than  several  of 
the  crops  mentioned. 

By  far  the  most  important  crop  is  corn,  the  acreage 
being  nearly  two  and  one-half  t imes  as  great  and  the 
value  over  three  times  as  great  as  the  acreage  and 
value  of  oats,  which  ranks  second  in  both  res{)ects. 
Ilay  and  forage  is  third  in  both  acreage  and  value,

having  approximately  one-third  the  acreage  and  one- 
fifth  the  value  of  corn.  Wheat,  with  an  acreage  about 
two-thirds  as  great  as  that  of  hay  and  forage,  has  a 
value  almost  nineteen-twentieths  as  great  as  the  latter 
crop,  'fhe  cereals  combined  are  about  five  times  as 
great  in  acreage  and  over  seven  times  as  great  in  value 
as  all  hay  and  forage. 

Of  the  hay  and  forage  crops,  “timothy  alone” 
ranks  first  in  both  acreage  and  value,  constituting  in 
each  respect  nearly  one-half  of  the  total.  Second  in 
rank  is  “timoth}'  and  clover  mixed,”  with  an  acre- 
age a little  less  than  one-fourth  and  a value  a little 
more  than  one-fourth  those  of  all  hay  and  forage. 
Following  in  order  of  acreage  are  “clover  alone,” 
“coarse  forage,”  “other  tame  or  cultivated  grasses,” 
and  “wild,  salt,  or  prairie  grasses.”  In  value  these 
crops  rank  in  similar  order,  except  that  “wild,  salt, 
or  prairie  grasses”  precedes  “other  tame  or  cultivated 
grasses.” 

The  following  table  presents  statistics  for  1909  re- 
garding cereals,  other  grains  and  seeds,  hay  and  for- 
age, potatoes,  tobacco,  broom  corn,  and  sundry  minor 
cro’ps :

The  acreage  in  com,  the  leading  crop  in  1909,  ex- 
ceeded that  in  1879  by  over  a million.  From  1879  to 
1889  there  was  a loss  of  more  than  a million  acres,  fol- 
lowed during  the  next  10  years  by  a gain  of  2,403,310 
acres,  and  in  the  following  decade  by  a loss  of  nearly  a 
quarter  of  a million  acres.  The  acreage  of  oats  nearly 
doubled  during  the  first  decade,  made  a gain  of  699,332 
acres  during  the  next  10  years,  and  a decrease  of  393,549 
during  the  last  decade,  the  acreage  in  1909  being  a 
little  more  than  double  that  of  30  years  before.  Wheat 
decreased  in  acreage  during  the  two  decades  following 
1879  and  increased  during  the  last  10  years,  showing 
in  1909  an  acreage  about  two-thirds  as  great  as  in 
1879.  The  acreage  of  barley  decreased  rapidly  be- 
tween 1879  and  1899,  but  nearly  trebled  during  the 
last  decade,  maldng  the  acreage  in  1909  greater  than 
in  1879.  Barley,  however,  is  not  an  important  crop  as 
compared  with  the  others  shown  in  the  above  table. 
For  hay  and  forage  the  greatest  acreage  was  reached 
in  1889,  followed  by  a decrease  during  the  next  10 
years  and  again  by  a slight  increase  during  the  last  dec- 
ade, the  acreage  in  1909  being  one-third  greater  than 
in  1879. 

The  following  table  shows  for  1909  and  1899  the  per- 
centage which  the  farms  reporting  specified  crops 
represented  of  all  farms,  the  percentage  of  improved 
land  devoted  to  these  crops,  and  the  percentage  of 
increase  or  decrease  in  the  acreage  of  each  crop  during

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


Of  every  100  farms  90  report  corn,  75  report 
])()tatoes,  70  rcj)ort  hay  and  forage,  55  report  oats, 
and  30  report  wlieat.  It  will  be  noticed  that  the 
percentages  ret)orting  corn  and  oats  have  de- 
creased tluring  tlie  ])ast  decade,  while  the  proportions 
reporting  other  cro|)S  enumerated  in  the  preceding 
table  have  increased.  These  six  crops  together  occupy 
about  71  per  cent  of  the  improved  land  of  the  state. 

The  average  value  per  acre  of  cereals  combined  is 
$17.99,  corn  ranking  above  tliis  average,  other  cereals 
below  it.  The  average  value  per  acre  of  hay  and 
forage  is  about  two-thirds  that  of  the  combined 
cereals.  The  average  value  per  acre  of  potatoes  is 
over  two  and  a half  times  the  average  value  of  the 
combined  cereals. 

While  the  production  of  corn  is  very  general  over 
the  state,  the  greatest  aci'eages  are  in  the  central 
counties.  Within  tliis  district  a small  group  of 
counties  in  the  north  central  part  of  the  state  show 
increases  for  the  past  10  years.  Increases  are  also 
shown  for  nearly  all  the  counties  in  the  southern  part 
of  the  state.  The  largest  percentages  of  decrease  are 
in  Jo  Daviess,  Mason,  Madison,  Cass,  Schujder, 
Menard,  Cumberland,  Winnebago,  Macoupin,  and 
Stephenson  Counties. 

Oats  are  grown  throughout  the  state,  though  in  very 
small  amounts  in  the  southern  counties.  A decrease 
in  the  oat  acreage  is  reported  from  the  greater  portion 
of  the  state,  increases  being  shown  in  only  a few 
scattered  counties.  Wheat,  which  is  grown  princi- 
pally in  the  western  and  southern  parts  of  the  state, 
shows  very  great  increases  in  the  western  counties 
during  the  last  10  years,  but  decreases  in  the  acreages  of 
this  crop  are  recorded  for  most  of  the  southern  and  for  a 
few  of  the  northern  counties.  The  hay  and  forage 
acreage  is  very  evenly  distributed  over  the  state. 
About  one-third  of  the  counties  show  decreases  in 
acreage  of  this  crop,  the  largest  relative  losses  being 
reported  for  Hancock,  Livingston,  Kendall,  Lawrence, 
and  McDonough  Counties.  Alfalfa  has  thus  far  made 
httle  headway,  although  grown  in  every  county  except 
two.  Over  half  of  the  alfalfa  acreage  of  the  state  is 
reported  from  the  six  counties  of  Lake,  McIIenr}^, 
Alexander,  Kane,  Peoria,  and  Cook. 

vegetables,  flowers  and  plants,  and  nursery  prod- 
ucts: 1909  and  1899. — In  1909  the  total  acreage  of 
potatoes  and  other  vegetables  was  268,911  and  their 
value  $16,300,654.  Excluding  (so  far  as  reported  sepa- 
rately 0 potatoes  and  sweet  potatoes  and  yams,  the 
acreage  of  vegetables  was  120,291  and  their  value 
$9,392,000,  both  acreage  and  value  being  materially 
greater  than  in  1899.  The  table  distinguishes  be- 
tween farms  which  make  the  raising  of  vegetables 
a business  of  some  importance  (having  produced  vege- 

*  It,  is  probable  that  some  of  the  potatoes  and  sweet  j)otatoe8  and 
yams  raised  in  farm  gardens  were  not  reported  separately  by  farm- 
ers, but  were  included  in  their  returns  for  vegetables. 


tables  valued  at  $500  or  more  in  1909)  and  other  farms, 
on  most  of  which  vegetables  are  raised  mainly  for  home 
consumption.  There  were,  in  1909,  2,227  farms  in  the 
first  class,  representing  about  three-tenths  of  the  total 
acreage  of  vegetables  and  more  than  one-third  of  the 
total  value,  the  average  acreage  of  vegetables  per  farm 
for  these  farms  being  16.5  and  the  average  value  of 
product  per  acre  $89.45. 

The  raising  of  flowers  and  plants  and  of  nursery  pro- 
ducts is  also  comparatively  important  in  Illinois,  4,793 
acres  being  devoted  to  them  in  1909,  and  the  prod- 
uct being  valued  at  $4,517,085.  Most  of  the  product 
was  raised  on  a few  farms  where  these  branches  of 
agriculture  were  carried  on  as  an  important  business.

Orchard  fruits,  grapes,  nuts,  and  tropical  fruits : 1909 
and  1899.  — Tlio  following  table  presents  data  with 
regard  to  orchard  fruits,  grapes,  nuts,  and  tropical 
fruits.  The  acreage  devoted  to  these  products  was  i 
not  ascertained.  In  comparing  one  year  with  the 
other  the  number  of  trees  or  vinos  of  hearing  age  is 
on  the  whole  a better  index  of  the  general  changes 
or  tendencies  than  the  quantity  of  })roduct,  but  the 
data  for  the  censuses  of  1910  and  1900  are  not  closely 
comparable  and  the  product  is  therefore  compared, 
although  variations  may  be  due  largely  to  temporarily 
favorable  or  unfavorable  climatic  conditions.

nuts,  and  other  nuts. 

6 Includes  Japanese  persimmons. 

The  total  quantity  of  orchard  fruits  produced  in 
1909  was  4,939,000  bushels,  valued  at  $3,858,000. 
Apples  contributed  about  three-fifths  of  this  quantity; 
peaches  and  nectarines  ranking  next  in  imjiortance. 
The  production  of  grapes  in  1909  amounted  to 
16,583,000  pounds,  valued  at  $426,000,  and  that  of  nuts 
to  714,478  pounds,  valued  at  $20,550. 

The  production  of  all  orchard  fruits  together  in  1909 
was  49.4  per  cent  less  in  quantity  than  in  1899,  and 
the  production  of  grapes  also  declined.  The  value  of 
orchard  fruits,  however,  increased  from  $3,779,000  in 
1899  to  $3,858,000  in  1909,  and  that  of  grapes  from 
$383,000  in  1899  to  $426,000  in  1909.  It  should  be 


noted  in  this  connection  that  the  values  for  1899 
include  the  value  of  more  advanced  products  derived 
from  orchard  fruits  or  grapes,  such  as  cider,  vinegar, 
dried  fruits,  and  the  like,  and  may  therefore  involve 
some  duplication,  while  the  values  shown  for  1909 
relate  only  to  the  products  in  their  original  condition. 

The  following  table  shows  the  quantities  of  the 
more  advanced  products  manufactured  by  farmers 
from  orchard  fruits  and  grapes.  Values  were  not

Forest  products : 1909  and  1899. — The  census  sched- 
ules for  1910  called  for  the  "value  of  all  firewood, 
fencing  material,  logs,  railroad  ties,  telegraph  and  tele- 
phone poles,  materials  for  barrels,  bark,  naval  stores, 
or  other  forest  products  cut  or  produced  in  1909, 
whether  used  on  farm,  sold,  or  on  hand  April  15,  1910 ;” 
and  also,  in  a separate  item,  for  the  “ amount  received 
from  sale  of  standing  timber  in  1909.”  There  were 
54,618  farms  in  Illinois  (21.7  per  cent  of  all  farms  in 
the  state)  which  reported  forest  products  in  1909,  the

cent.  Of  the  value  in  1909,  $2,178,103  was  reported 
as  that  of  products  used  or  to  he  used  on  the  farms 
themselves,  $976,210  as  that  of  products  sold  or  for 
sale,  and  $170,940  as  the  amount  received  for  standing 
timher.  It  should  be  noted  that  forest  products  not 
produced  on  farms  are  not  included  in  this  report. 

Miscellaneous  crops;  1909. — Straw  and  cornstalks 
derived  as  by-products  from  the  production  of  grain 


and  corn  have  a considerable  value  for  feed  and  other 
purposes.  They  are,  however,  mainly  consumed  on 
the  farms  producing  them.  The  Census  Bureau  made 
no  attempt  to  ascertain  the  total  quantity  or  value  of 
these  ])roducts,  but  the  schedules  called  for  the  quan- 
tity and  value  of  those  sold  during  the  year  1909.  The 
returns  show  that  5,61.3  farmers  in  Tllmois  sold,  during 
1909,  59,602  tons  of  straw,  for  which  they  received 
$214,603,  and  that  637  farmers  sold  7,831  tons  of  corn- 
stalks and  leaves,  for  which  they  received  $23,262.

Over  half  of  the  farmers  hire  labor,  and  the  average 
amount  expended  b}'  those  hiring  is  $259.  Of  the 
total  spent  for  labor,  22.9  per  (“ent  is  in  the  form 
of  rent  and  board.  During  the  decade  the  total  ex- 
pended for  labor  increased  63.7  per  cent.  At  prior 
censuses  no  tabidation  was  made  of  the  number  of 
farmers  reporting  expenditures  for  labor. 

About  three  farmers  out  of  every  eight  report  some 
expenditure  for  feed,  while  less  than  1 out  of  20  re- 


ports the  purchase  of  fertilizer.  About  three-fourths 
as  much  was  spent  for  fertilizer  in  1909  as  in  1899,  the 
average  expenditure  in  1909  for  fertilizer  per  farm 
reporting  being  $54.93. 

Receipts  from  sale  of  feedable  crops:  1909. — An 
effort  was  made  at  the  census  of  1910  to  secure  as  com- 
plete a statement  as  possible  of  the  sales  as  well  as  of 
the  production  of  the  more  important  feedable  crops 
(that  is,  crops  ordinarily  fed  to  live  stock).  Tha  fol-

Tables  1 to  0,  wlucli  follow,  present  by  counties 
the  more  important  agricultural  data  collected  at  the 
Thirteenth  Census,  1910. 

Table  1 shows  the  population,  munber  of  farms, 
land  and  farm  area,  value  of  farm  property,  and 
number  and  Vidue  of  domestic  animals  and  of  poul- 
try and  bees,  as  of  April  15,  1910.  Comparative 
data  for  Juno  1,  1900,  are  given  in  italics  for  certain 
items. 

Table  2 gives  the  number  of  farms,  the  farm  acre- 
age, anti  the  value  of  farm  property  operated  by 
owners,  tenants;  and  managers,  collected  as  of  April 
15,  1910.  Statistics  of  farm  mortgages  are  included  in 
this  table.  (See  ex])]anation  in  text.)  Comparative 
data  for  June  1,  1900,  are  given  in  italics  for  certain 
items. 


Table  .3  gives  statistics  pertaining  to  the  products  of 
live  stock  on  farms  (dairy  products,  poultry  and  eggs, 
honey  and  wax,  and  wool  and  mohair) ; also  the  num- 
ber and  value  of  domestic  animals  sold  or  slaughtered 
on  farms  for  the  year  1909. 

Table  4 shows  the  total  value  of  farm  crops  and  the 
principal  classes  thereof,  together  with  the  acreage  (or 
trees  of  bearing  age)  and  production  of  the  principal 
crops  for  the  year  1909. 

Table  5 gives  statistics  relating  to  selected  farm  ex- 
penses for  1909  and  also  shows  the  receipts  from,  the 
sale  of  feedable  crops. 

.Table  6 shows  the  number  and  value  of  domestic 
animals  in  barns  and  inclosures  not  on  farms,  by  classes, 
together  with  the  number  of  dairy  cows  and  mature 
horses  and  mules,  on  April  15,  1910.

STATISTICS  OF  MANUFACTUIIES  FOK  THE  STATE,  CITIES,  AND 

INDUSTRIES. 


Introduction. — This  chapter  gives  the  statistics  of 
manufactures  for  the  state  of  Illinois  for  the  calendar 
year  1909  as  shown  by  the  Thirteenth  Census. 

The  text  summarizes  the  general  results  of  the 
census  inquiry,  presenting  a series  of  special  tables  in 
which  the  main  facts  printed  in  the  general  tables  are 
given  in  convenient  form  for  the  state  as  a whole  and 
for  important  industries.  It  also  presents  tables  in 
which  the  statistics  for  the  industries  of  the  state  as  a 
whole  and  for  a few  important  industries  are  classified 
by  character  of  ownership,  size  of  establishments,  num- 
ber of  wage  earners,  and  prevailing  hours  of  labor, 
information  which  could  not  be  presented  in  general 
tables  for  each  industry  without  disclosing  the  facts  for 
individual  establishments. 

At  the  end  of  the  chapter  are  three  general  tables. 

Table  I gives  for  1909,  1904,  and  1899  the  number 
of  establishments  and  of  persons  engaged  in  the  indus- 
tries, primary  power,  capital,  salaries  and  wages,  cost 
of  materials,  value  of  products,  and  value  added  by 
manufacture  reported  for  all  industries  combmed  and 
for  certain  important  industries  (1)  for  the  state  as  a 
whole  and  (2)  for  the  cities  of  Chicago,  East  St.  Louis, 
Peoria,  and  Springfield.  It  also  gives  the  same  items 
for  all  industries  combined  for  every  incorporated  place 
having  in  1910  a population  of  over  10,000  but  less  than 
50,000. 

Table  II  gives  statistics  in  detail  for  1909  for  the 
state  and  for  a larger  number  of  industries. 

Table  III  gives  statistics  in  detail  for  1909  for  Chi- 
cago, East  St.  Louis,  Peoria,  and  Springfield  for  all 
industries  combined  and  selected  industries,  and  for 
each  city  having  from  10,000  to  50,000  inhabitants 
for  all  industries  combined. 

Scope  of  census:  Factory  industries. — Census  statistics  of  manu- 
factures are  compiled  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  showing  the 
absolute  and  relative  magnitude  of  the  different  branches  of  indus- 
try covered  and  their  growth  or  decline.  Incidentally,  the  effort 
is  made  to  present  data  throwing  light  upon  character  of  organiza- 
tion, location  of  establishments,  size  of  establishments,  labor  force, 
and  similar  subjects.  When  use  is  made  of  the  data  for  these  pur- 
poses it  is  imperative  that  due  attention  should  be  given  to  the 
Umitations  of  the  figures.  Particularly  is  this  true  when  the 
attempt  is  made  to  derive  from  them  figures  purporting  to  show 
average  wages,  cost  of  production,  or  profits.  These  limitations 
will  be  fully  discussed  in  the  general  report  on  manufactures  for  the 
United  States  as  a whole. 

The  census  of  1909,  like  that  of  1904,  was  confined  to  manu- 
facturing establishments  conducted  under  the  factory  system,  as 


distinguished  from  the  neighborhood,  hand,  and  building  indus- 
tries. Where  statistics  for  1899  are  given  they  have  been  reduced 
to  a comparable  basis  by  eliminating  the  latter  class  of  industries. 
The  census  does  not  include  establishments  which  were  idle  during 
the  entire  year,  or  had  a value  of  products  of  less  than  $500,  or  the 
manufacturing  done  in  educational,  eleemosynary,  and  penal  insti- 
tutions, or  in  governmental  establishments,  except  those  of  the 
Federal  Government. 

Period  covered. — The  returns  cover  the  calendar  year  1909,  or 
the  business  year  which  corresponds  most  nearly  to  that  calendar 
year.  The  statistics  cover  a year’s  operations,  except  for  estab- 
lishments which  began  or  discontinued  business  during  the 
year. 

The  establishment. — The  term  “establishment”  comprises  the 
factories,  mills,  or  plants  which  are  under  a common  ownership  or 
control,  and  for  which  one  set  of  books  of  account  is  kept. 

If,  however,  the  plants  constituting  an  establishment  as  thus 
defined  were  not  all  located  within  the  same  city  or  state,  separate 
reports  were  secured,  in  order  that  the  separate  totals  might  be 
included  in  the  statistics  for  each  city  or  state.  In  some  instances 
separate  reports  were  secured  for  different  industries  carried  on  in 
the  same  establishment. 

Classification  by  industries. — The  establishments  were  assigned 
to  the  several  classes  of  industries  according  to  their  products  of 
chief  value.  The  products  reported  for  a given  industry  may  thus, 
on  the  one  hand,  include  minor  products  very  different  from  those 
covered  by  the  class  designation,  and,  on  the  other  hand,  may  not 
include  the  total  product  covered  by  this  designation,  because 
some  part  of  this  product  may  be  made  in  establishments  in  which 
it  is  not  the  product  of  chief  value. 

Selected  industries. — The  general  tables  at  the  end  of  this  chap- 
ter give  the  principal  facts  separately  for  the  industries  of  the 
state.  A selection  has  been  made  of  the  leading  industries  of  the 
state  for  more  detailed  consideration.  Sometimes  an  industry  of 
greater  importance  than  some  of  those  selected  is  omitted  because 
it  comprises  so  few  establishments  that  these  detailed  presenta- 
tions would  reveal  the  operations  of  individual  concerns. 

Comparisons  with  previous  censuses. — Owing  to  the  changes  in 
industrial  conditions,  it  is  not  always  possible  to  classify  establish- 
ments by  industries  in  such  a way  as  to  permit  accurate  compari- 
son with  preceding  censuses.  Table  I,  giving  comparable  figures 
for  1909,  1904,  and  1899,  therefore,  does  not  embrace  all  the  indus- 
tries shown  for  1909  in  Table  II. 

Influence  of  increased  prices. — In  considering  changes  in  cost  of 
materials,  value  of  products,  and  value  added  by  manufacture, 
account  should  be  taken  of  the  general  increase  in  the  prices  of 
commodities  during  recent  years.  To  the  extent  to  which  this 
factor  has  been  influential  the  figures  can  not  be  taken  as  an  exact 
measure  of  increase  in  the  volume  of  business. 

Persons  engaged  in  industry. — At  the  censuses  of  1909,  1904,  and 
1899,  the  following  general  classes  of  persons  engaged  in  manufactur- 
ing industries  have  been  distinguished:  (1)  Proprietors  and  firm 
members,  (2)  salaried  officers  of  corporations,  (3)  superintendents 
and  managers,  (4)  clerks,  and  (5)  wage  earners.  In  the  censuses  of 
1904  and  1899  these  five  classes  were  shown  according  to  the  three 
main  groups:  (1)  Proprietors  and  firm  members,  (2)  salaried  officials 

(699)

SUPPLEMENT  EOll  ILLINOIS. 


clerkH,  etc.,  and  (3)  wago  earnera.  The  eecond  group  included  the 
three  clawHeH  of  salaried  ofUcerw  of  corporatioiiH,  Huperintendents  and 
inanagerH,  and  clerkH.  In  the  present  cciibuh  an  entirely  different 
grouj)ing  is  enii)loyed:  That  into  (1)  proprietors  and  officials,  (2) 
clerks,  and  (ti)  wage  earnera.  The  first  group  includes  ])roj)rietors 
and  firm  members,  salaried  officers  of  corporations,  and  superin- 
tendents and  managers. 

At  this  census  the  number  of  persons  engaged  in  the  industries, 
segregated  by  sex,  and,  in  the  case  of  wage  earners,  also  by  age 
(whether  undcir  Ki  or  Ki  and  over),  was  reported  for  December  15,  or 
the  nearest  representative  day.  The  15th  of  December  was  selected 
as  representing  for  most  industries  normal  conditions  of  employ- 
ment, but  wliere  conditions  were  excej)tional,  and  ])articularly  in 
the  case  of  certain  seasonal  industries,  such  as  canning,  the  Decem- 
ber date  could  not  be  accepted  as  typical  and  an  earlier  date  had 
to  be  chosen. 

In  the  case  of  employees  other  than  wage  earners  the  number 
thus  reported  on  December  15,  or  other  representative  day,  has  been 
treated  as  equivalent  to  the  average  for  the  year,  since  the  number 
of  employees  of  this  class  does  not  vary  much  from  month  to  month 
in  a given  industry.  In  the  case  of  wage  earners  the  average  is 
obtained  in  the  manner  explained  in  the  next  paragraph. 

Wage  earners. — In  addition  to  the  report  by  sex  and  age  of  the 
number  of  wage  earners  on  December  15,  or  other  representative 
day,  a report  was  obtained  of  the  number  employed  on  the  15th  of 
each  month,  without  distinction  of  sex  or  age.  From  these  figures 
the  average  number  of  wage  earners  for  the  year  has  been  calculated 
by  dividing  the  sum  of  the  numbers  reported  each  month  by  12. 
The  average  thus  obtained  represents  the  number  of  wage  earners 
that  would  be  required  to  perform  the  work  done  if  all  were  con- 
stantly employed  during  the  entire  year.  Accordingly,  the  impor- 
tance of  any  industry  as  an  employer  of  labor  is  believed  to  be  more 
accurately  measured  by  this  average  than  by  the  number  employed 
at  any  one  time  or  on  a given  day. 

The  number  of  wage  earners  reported  for  the  representative  day, 
though  given  for  each  separate  industry,  is  not  totaled  for  all 
industries  combined,  because  in  view  of  the  variations  of  date 
such  a total  is  believed  not  to  be  significant.  It  would  involve  more 
or  less  duplication  of  persons  working  in  different  industries  at 
different  times,  would  not  represent  the  total  number  employed 
in  all  industries  at  any  one  time,  and  would  give  an  undue  weight 
to  seasonal  industries,  as  compared  with  industries  in  continual 
operation. 

In  particular,  totals  by  sex  and  age  for  the  wage  earners  reported 
for  the  representative  day  would  be  misleading  because  of  the  undue 
weight  given  to  seasonal  industries,  iu  some  of  which,  such  as  can- 
ning and  preserving,  the  distribution  of  the  wage  earners  by  se.x  and 
age  is  materially  different  from  that  in  most  industries  of  more  regu- 
lar operation.  In  order  to  determine  as  nearly  as  possible  the  sex 
and  age  distribution  of  the  average  number  of  wage  earners  in  the 
state  as  a whole,  the  following  procedure  has  been  adopted: 

The  percentage  distribution  by  sex  and  age  of  the  wage  earners  in 
each  industry  for  December  15,  or  the  nearest  representative  day, 
has  been  calculated  from  the  actual  numbers  reported  for  that  date. 
This  percentage  has  been  applied  to  the  average  number  of  wage 
earners  for  the  year  in  that  industry,  to  determine  the  average  num- 
ber of  men,  women,  and  children  employed.  These  calculated 
averages  for  the  several  industries  have  been  added  up  to  give  the 
average  distribution  for  the  state  as  a whole. 

In  1899  and  1904  the  schedule  called  for  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  of  each  sex  IG  years  and  over,  and  the  total  number 
under  16  years  of  age,  for  each  month,  and  these  monthly  statements 
were  combined  in  an  annual  average.  (Comparatively  few  manu- 
facturing concerns,  however,  keep  their  books  in  such  a way  as  to 
show  readily  the  number  of  men,  women,  and  children  (under  16) 
employed  each  month.  These  monthly  returns  by  sex  and  ago 
were,  in  fact,  largely  estimates.  It  was  believed  that  a more 
accurate  and  reliable  sex  and  age  distribution  could  be  secured  by 
taking  as  a basis  of  estimate  the  actual  numbers  employed  on  a 
single  day. 


Prevailing  hours  of  labor. — The  census  made  no  attempt  to 
ascertain  the  number  of  employees  working  a given  number  of  hours 
per  week.  The  inquiry  called  merely  for  the  prevailing  practice 
followed  in  each  establishment.  Occasional  variations  in  hours  in 
an  establishment  from  one  period  to  another  are  disregarded,  and 
no  attention  is  given  to  the  fact  that  a limited  number  of  employees 
may  have  hours  differing  from  those  of  the  majority.  In  the  tables 
all  the  wage  earners  of  each  establishment  are  counted  in  the  class 
within  which  the  establishment  itself  falls.  In  most  establish- 
ments, however,  all  or  practically  all  the  employees  work  the  same 
number  of  hours,  so  that  these  figures  give  a substantially  correct 
picture  of  the  hours  of  labor  in  manufacturing  industries. 

Capital. — For  reasons  stated  in  juior  census  reports,  the  statistics 
of  capital  secured  by  the  census  canvass  are  so  defective  as  to  be 
without  value,  except  as  indicating  very  general  conditions. 
The  instructions  on  the  schedule  for  securing  capital  were  as 
follows: 

The  answer  should  show  the  total  amount  of  capital,  both  owned 
and  borrowed,  on  the  last  day  of  the  business  year  reported.  All 
the  items  of  fixed  and  live  capital  may  be  taken  at  the  amounts  car- 
ried on  the  books.  If  land  or  buildings  are  rented,  that  fact  should 
be  stated  and  no  value  given.  If  a part  of  the  land  or  buildings  is 
owned,  the  remainder  being  rented,  that  fact  should  be  so  stated 
and  only  the  value  of  the  owned  property  given.  Do  not  include 
securities  and  loans  representing  investments  in  other  enterprises. 

Materials. — Cost  of  materials  refers  to  the  materials  used  during 
the  year,  which  may  be  more  or  less  than  the  materials  purchased 
during  the  year.  The  term  materials  includes  fuel,  rent  of  power 
and  heat,  mill  supplies,  and  containers,  as  well  as  materials  forming 
a constituent  part  of  the  product.  Fuel  includes  all  fuel  used, 
whether  for  heat,  light,  or  power,  or  for  the  process  of  manufacture. 

Expenses. — Under  “Expenses”  are  included  all  items  of  ex- 
pense incident  to  the  year’s  business,  except  interest,  whether 
on  bonds  or  other  forms  of  indebtedness,  and  allowances  for 
depreciation. 

Value  of  products. — The  value  of  products  for  any  industry  in- 
cludes the  total  value  of  all  products  manufactured  in  establish- 
ments whose  products  of  chief  value  fall  under  the  industry  desig- 
nation. The  amounts  given  represent  the  selling  value  at  the 
factory  of  all  products  manufactured  during  the  year,  which  may 
differ  from  the  value  of  the  products  sold.  Amounts  received  for 
work  on  materials  furnished  by  others  are  included. 

Value  added  by  manufacture. — The  value  of  products  is  not  a 
satisfactory  measure  of  either  the  absolute  or  the  relative  impor- 
tance of  a given  industry,  because  only  a part  of  this  value  is  actually 
created  by  the  manufacturing  j^rocess  carried  on  in  the  industry 
itself.  Another  part  of  it,  and  often  by  far  the  larger  part,  repre- 
sents the  value  of  the  materials  used,  which  have  been  produced 
by  agriculture  or  mining  or  by  other  industrial  establishments. 
For  many  purposes,  therefore,  the  best  measure  of  the  importance 
of  different  classes  of  industry  is  the  value  created  as  the  result  of 
the  manufacturing  operations  carried  on  within  the  industry.  This 
value  is  obtained  by  deducting  the  cost  of  the  materials  consumed 
from  the  value  of  the  product.  The  figure  thus  obtained  is  termed 
in  the  census  reports  “value  added  by  manufacture.” 

There  is  a further  statistical  advantage  which  “value  added” 
has  over  gross  value  of  products.  In  combining  the  value  of  prod- 
ucts for  all  industries  the  value  of  ])roducts  produced  by  one 
establishment  and  used  as  materials  in  another  is  duplicated,  and 
the  total,  therefore,  gives  a greatly  exaggerated  idea  of  the  wealth 
created.  No  such  duplication  takes  place  in  the  total  “value 
added  by  manufacture.” 

Cost  of  manufacture  and  profits. — Census  data  do  not  show  the 
entire  cost  of  manufacture,  and  consequently  can  not  be  used  to 
show  profits.  No  account  has  been  taken  of  interest  and  depre- 
ciation. Even  if  the  amount  of  profit  could  be  determined  by  de- 
ducting the  expenses  from  the  value  of  the  products,  the  rate  of 
j)rofit  on  the  investment  could  not  properly  be  calculated,  because 
of  the  very  defective  character  of  the  returns  regarding  capital. 

Primary  power. — The  figures  given  for  this  item  show  the  total 
of  the  primary  j)owor  used  by  the  establishments.  'I'hey  do  not

cover  the  power  developed  by  motors  operated  by  such  i)ower, 
the  inclusion  of  which  would  evidently  result  in  duplication. 

Location  of  establishments. — The  ('ensus  llureau  has  classified 
establishments  by  their  location  in  cities  or  classes  of  cities.  In  in- 
terpreting these  fifrures  due  consideration  shouhl  be  given  to  the  fact 
that  often  establishments  are  located  just  outside  the  boundliries 
of  cities,  and  are  necessarily  so  classified,  though  locally  they  are 
looked  upon  as  constituting  a part  of  the  manufacturing  interests  of 
the  cities. 

INDUSTRIES 

General  character  of  the  state. — Illinois,  with  a gross 
area  of  50,605  square  miles,  of  which  622  represent 
water  surface,  ranks  twenty-third  in  size  among  the 
states  of  the  Union.  Its  population  in  1910  was 
5,638,591,  as  compared  with  4,821,550  in  1900  and 
3,820,352  in  1890.  It  ranked  third  among  the  49 
states  and  territories  as  regards  population  both  in 
1910  and  in  1900.  The  density  of  population  for  the 
state  in  1910  was  100.6  per  square  nule,  the  corre- 
sponding figures  for  1900  and  1890  being  86.1  and  68.3, 
respectively.  Sixty-one  and  seven-tenths  per  cent  of 
the  entire  population  of  the  state  in  1910  resided  in 
incorporated  places  having  2,500  inhabitants  or  over, 
as  compared  with  54.3  per  cent  in  1900. 

There  were  32  incorporated  places  in  the  state  which 
had  a population  of  over  10,000  in  1910.  One  of  these, 
Chicago,  had  2,185,283  inhabitants;  11  others  had 
over  25,000  but  less  than  100,000;  and  the  remain- 
ing 20  had  between  10,000  and  25,000.  A list  of  these 
places,  with  the  population  of  each  in  1910  and  1900, 
is  given  on  page  712.  These  32  places  contained  52.3 
per  cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  state  and  were 
credited  in  1909  with  83.1  per  cent  of  the  total  value 
of  its  manufactures.  Apart  from  these  places,  only 
9.3  per  cent  of  the  population  resided  in  places  of  2,500 
inliabitants  or  over. 

Illinois  lies  wholly  within  the  great  prairie  region, 
and,  with  the  exception  of  Louisiana  and  Delaware,  is 
the  most  level  state  in  the  Union.  On  account  of  the 
situation  of  the  state,  many  of  the  trunk  lines  both 
between  the  East  and  the  West  and  between  the  North 
and  the  South  enter  or  pass  through  it,  and  thus  afford 
•excellent  transportation  facilities.  On^June  30,  1909, 
there  were  152  railroad  companies  having  lines  within 
the  state,  and  nearly  every  county  is  traversed  by  one 
or  more  railroads,  many  of  them  trunk  lines  running 
into  Chicago  or  St.  Louis.  The  state  has  approxi- 
mately 12,000  miles  of  main  track  of  steam  rad- 
roads  ' — an  average  of  over  2 1 miles  for  every  100  square 
miles  of  territory — and  also  over  2,700  mdes  of  elec- 
tric radroads.  In  addition  to  these  ample  radway 
faedities,  the  state  has  the  advantages  of  cheap  water 
transportation  afforded  by  the  Alississippi  and  its  navi- 
gable tributaries,  and  by  the  Great  Lakes. 

Importance  and  growth  of  manufactures. — Illinois  is 
the  most  important  manufacturing  state  west  of  the

the  United  States,  1909. 


Laundries. — 'I’he  census  of  1909  was  the  first  to  include  statistics 
of  laundries.  The  rei)orts  are  confined  to  establishments  using 
mechanical  j)ower.  The  data  are  j>re8cnted  separately  and  are  not 
included  in  the  general  total  for  manufacl  uring  industries,  in  order 
to  avoid  interference  with  comparisons  wi(h  prior  censuses. 

Custom  sawmills  and  gristmills.-  In  order  to  make  the  statistics 
for  1909  comparable  with  those  lor  1901  the  data  for  these  mills  have 
been  excludcid  from  all  the  tables  j)re8enting  general  statistics,  and 
arc  given  in  a separate  table  at  the  end  of  this  chapter. 

IN  GENERAL. 

Adeghenies.  In  1849  an  average  of  11,559  wage  earn- 
ers, representing  1.4  per  cent  of  the  total  population, 
were  employed  in  manufactures,  while  in  1879  an  aver- 
age of  144,727  wage  earners,  or  4.7  per  cent  of  the 
total,  and  in  1909  an  average  of  465,764  wage  earners, 
or  8.3  per  cent  of  the  total  population,  were  so  en- 
gaged. The  gross  value  of  products  per  capita  of  the 
total  population  of  the  state  increased  from  S19.42  in 
1849  to  $340.38  in  1909,  and  the  proportion  which  the 
manufactures  of  the  state  represented  of  the  total 
value  of  the  products  of  manufacturing  industries  in 
the  United  States,  from  1.6  per  cent  in  1849  to  9.3  per 
cent  in  1909.  In  the  value  of  its  manufactures  Illinois 
ranked  fifteenth  in  1849  and  third  in  1909. 

The  first  table  on  the  following  page  gives  the  most 
important  figures  relative  to  all  classes  of  manufac- 
tures combined,  for  1909, 1904,  and  1899,  together  with 
the  percentages  of  increase  from  census  to  census. 

In  1909  the  state  of  Illinois  had  18,026  manufactur- 
ing establishments,  which  gave  employment  to  an 
average  of  561,044  persons  during  the  year  and  paid  out 
$364,768,000  in  salaries  and  wages.  Of  the  persons 
employed,  465,764  were  wage  earners.  Those  estab- 
lishments turned  out  products  to  the  value  of 
$1,919,277,000,  in  the  manufacture  of  which  materials 
costing  $1,160,927,000  were  utilized.  The  value  added 
by  manufacture  was  thus  $758,350,000,  which  figure, 
as  explained  in  the  Introduction,  best  i-epresents  the 
net  wealth  created  by  manufacturing  operations 
during  the  year. 

The  totals  presented  in  the  table  do  not  include 
the  statistics  for  an  establishment  operated  by  the 
Federal  Government — the  arsenal  at  Rock  Island. 
In  1909  this  plant  employed  an  average  of  1,698 
wage  earners,  and  the  value  of  its  products,  which 
consisted  of  infantry,  cavalry,  and  artillery  equipment, 
was  reported  as  $3,114,338. 

In  general,  the  table  brings  out  the  fact  that  the 
manufacturing  industries  of  Illinois  as  a whole  devel- 
oped more  rapidly  during  the  five-year  period  1904- 
1909  than  during  the  preceding  five-year  period, 
1899-1904,  the  percentage  of  increase  being  greater 
for  all  items  shown  in  the  table  except  miscellaneous 
expenses.  During  the  later  five-year  period  the 
number  of  establishments  increased  20.8  per  cent  and 
the  average  number  of  wage  earners  22.8  per  cent, 
while  the  value  of  products  increa.sed  36.1  per  cent 
and  the  value  added  by  manufacture  33  per  cent.  As

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


pointod  out  in  tho  Introduction,  it  would  bo  improper 
to  infer  that  manufactures  increased  in  volume  to  tho 
full  extent  indicated  by  tho  figures  representing 


values,  since  tho  increase  shown  is  certainly  due,  in 
part,  to  tho  increase  that  has  taken  place  in  the  price 
of  commodities.

The  relative  importance  and  growth  of  tho  leading 
manufacturing  industries  of  the  state  are  shown  in  the 
following  table. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind,  in  considering  this 


table,  that  the  value  of  products  in  some  of  the  indus- 
tries involves  a certain  amount  of  duplication  due  to 
the  use  of  the  products  of  one  establishment  in  the 
industry  as  materials  for  other  establishments.

The  foregoing  table  gives  separate  statistics  for 
95  industries  or  industry  groups  for  which  products 
valued  at  more  than  $500,000  were  reported  in  1909. 
These  industries  include  8 with  products  exceeding 
$50,000,000  in  value,  8 with  products  between 
$25,000,000  and  $50,000,000  in  value,  and  15  with 
products  between  $10,000,000  and  $25,000,000  in 
value,  making  an  aggregate  of  31  industries  with 


products  in  excess  of  $10,000,000  in  value.  The  other 
industries  shown  separately  comprise  17  with  products 
between  $5,000,000  and  $10,000,000  in  value,  34  with 
products  between  $1,000,000  and  $5,000,000  in  value, 
and  13  with  products  between  $500,000  and  $1,000,000 
in  value. 

In  addition  to  the  95  industries  presented  separately 
in  the  foregoing  table,  there  were  65  other  industries

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


in  the  state  which  reported  products  in  1909  to  the 
value  of  $500, 000  or  over.’  These  industries  com- 
prised 4 with  ])roducts  exceeding  $10,000,000  in  value, 
6 with  products  between  $5,000,000  and  $10,000,000 
in  value,  40  with  ])roducts  between  $1,000,000  and 
$5,000,000  in  Auilue,  and  15  with  products  between 
$500,000  and  $1,000,000  in  value.  These  industries 
are  included  under  the  head  of  “All  other  industries” 
in  the  table,  in  some  cases  because  the  operations  of 
individual  establishments  would  be  disclosed  if  they 
were  shown  se})arately;  in  others,  because  the  returns 
do  not  ])roporly  present  the  true  condition  of  the  in- 
duj^try,  as  it  is  more  or  less  interwoven  with  other  in- 
dustries; and  in  still  others,  because  comparative 
statistics  for  1904  and  1899  can  not  be  presented  with- 
out disclosing  the  operations  of  individual  establish- 
ments, or  on  account  of  changes  in  classification.  The 
1909  statistics,  however,  for  three  of  these  industries — 
the  manufacture  of  paper  bags,  cordage  and  twine  and 
jute  and  linen  goods,  and  signs  and  advertising  nov- 
elties— are  presented  in  Table  II,  ]:)age  740. 

The  most  important  industries  listed  in  tlfis  table 
in  wliich  they  are  arranged  in  the  order  of  the  value 
of  products,  call  for  brief  consideration. 

Slaughtering  and  meat  paclcing.— Ulus  classification 
includes  wholesale  slaughtering  and  meat-packing 
establishments  and  those  engaged  in  the  manufacture 
of  sausage  only,  but  not  the  operations  of  the  numer- 
ous slaughterhouses  killing  for  the  retail  trade,  which, 
in  the  aggregate,  slaughter  a large  number  of  animals. 
Illinois  continues  to  hold  first  place  in  this  industry, 
the  value  of  the  output  in  1909,  $389,595,000,  forming 

28.4  per  cent  of  the  total  for  the  industry  in  the  United 
States  and  representing  an  increase  of  22.4  per  cent  as 
compared  with  1904.  In  1904  the  state’s  proportion 
of  the  total  value  of  products  for  this  industry  was 

34.5  per  cent,  and  in  1899,  36.6  per  cent.  Measured 
by  value  of  products  this  is  by  far  the  most  important

industry  in  Illinois,  contributing  a little  over  one-fifth 
of  the  state  total  for  all  manufacturing  industries  in 
1 909.  Although  greatly  exceeding  any  other  industry 
in  the  state  in  value  of  jiroducts,  the  industry  ranked 
only  fourth  in  average  number  of  wage  earners  and  in 
value  added  by  manufacture. 

Foundry  and  machine-shop  products. — This  industry 
includes  all  foundries  and  machine  shops  and  similar 
establishments  except  those  which  manufacture  a 
^distinctive  product  covered  by  some  other  classifica- 
tion, such  as  cash  registers,  sewing  machines,  and 
electrical  machinery  and  apparatus.  Establishments 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  bells,  cast-iron  and  cast- 
I steel  pipe,  gas  machines  and  gas  and  water  meters, 

I hardware,  steam  fittings  and  heating  apparatus,  and 
structural  ironwork,  some  of  which  were  classified 
separately  at  previous  censuses,  are  all  included  under 
this  general  heading.  This  industry  ranks  second  in 
value  of  products,  wdth  7.2  per  cent  of  the  state  total 
for  all  manufacturing  industries,  and  shows  a much 
greater  growth  for  the  five-year  period  1904-1909  than 
for  the  preceding  five-year  period.  In  1909  it  was 
the  leading  industry  in  the  state  in  average  number 
of  wage  earners  employed,  having  52,266,  or  11.2  per 
cent  of  the  state  total. 

Clothing,  m,en’s,  including  shirts. — This  classification 
includes  the  maldng  of  men’s  and  boys’  ready-made 
clothing  and  of  overalls,  butchers’  aprons,  bathing 
I suits,  and  gymnasium  clothing,  and  the  manufacture 
of  all  kinds  of  shirts— cotton,  linen,  flannel,  etc. — as 
well  as  of  shirt  bosoms,  and  of  sliirt  waists  for  men  and 
boys.  Most  of  the  establishments  engaged  in  this 
industry  in  Illinois  are  located  in  Chicago.  The  num- 
ber of  establishments  increased  from  624  in  1904  to 
715  in  1909,  the  average  number  of  wage  earners 
increased  from  21,355  to  36,152,  or  69.3  per  cent,  and 
the  value  of  products  from  $57,002,000  to  $89,473,000, 
or  57  per  cent. 

Printing  and  publishing. — This  classification  includes 
the  printing  and  publishing  of  books,  newspapers  and 
periodicals,  and  music,  job  printing,  bookbinding  and 
blank-book  making,  steel  and  copper  plate  engraving, 
and  lithographing.  In  this  industry  Illinois  ranks  sec- 
ond only  to  New  York,  with  a value  of  products  in  1909 
forming  1 1 .8  per  cent  of  the  total  for  the  United  States. 
There  were  2,608  establishments  reported  in  1909,  as 
against  2,414  in  1904  and  2,150  in  1899.  The  figures 
indicate  a considerable  growdli  in  the  industry  through- 
out the  decade.  The  leading  items  going  to  make  up 
the  total  value  of  products  in  1909  were  as  follows:  Job 
jirinting,  $28,010,000;  book  and  pamphlet  printing  and 
publishing,  $9,399,000;  subscriptions  and  sales  of  news- 
papers, $8,937,000;  newspajier  advertising,  $13,720,- 
000;  subscriptions  and  sales  of  periodicals,  $5,722,000; 
jicriodical  advertising,  $6,893,000;  bookbinding  and 
blank-book  making,  $5,756,000;  and  electrotyping, 
engraving,  and  lithographing,  $5,456,000. 

Iron  and  steel,  steel  xvorhs  and  rolling  mills. — This 
industry  embraces  the  manufacture  of  steel  and  the

other  manufactures  of  iron  and  steel  by  establishments 
not  equipped  with  steel-making  furnaces  or  hot  trains 
of  rolls.  There  were  24  establishments  in  Illinois  in 
1909  coming  under  this  classification,  or  one  more  than 
in  1904.  In  1909  this  industry  ranked  fifth  in  the 
state  in  value  of  products,  in  1904  it  was  fourth,  and 
in  1899  third.  From  1904  to  1909  the  value  of  prod- 
ucts for  Illinois  increased  44. .3  per  cent,  as  compared 
with  an  increase  of  46.3  per  cent  for  the  entire  country 
for  the  same  period.  Of  the  total  value  of  products 
for  the  industry  in  the  United  States,  Illinois  con- 
tributed 8.8  per  cent  in  1909  and  8.9  per  cent  in  1904, 
holding  third  position  among  the  states  in  each  year. 

Iron  and  steel,  Hast  furnaces. — These  establishments 
include  those  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  pig  iron 
from  the  ore.  The  number  of  establishments  in  this 
industry  increased  from  four  in  1904  to  six  in  1909.  In 
value  of  products  there  was  an  increase  of  $10,969,000, 
or  40.1  percent,  from  1904  to  1909,  as  compared  with 
an  increase  of  $12,177,000,  or  80.4  per  cent,  from  1899 
to  1904.  Illinois  contributed  $38,300,000,  or  9.8  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  products  for  all  blast  fur- 
naces in  the  United  States,  in  1909,  as  compared  with 
$27,331,000,  or  11.8  per  cent,  in  1904,  and  $15,154,000, 
or  7.3  per  cent,  in  1899.  At  the  last  three  censuses 
Illinois  has  ranked  third  among  the  states  in  this 
industry. 

The  manufacture  of  wire  is  a very  important 
branch  of  the  iron  and  steel  industry  in  Illinois,  but 
the  statistics  can  not  be  presented  separately  because 
of  the  possible  disclosure  of  individual  operations. 
Seven  establishments  manufacturing  wire  were  re- 
ported in  1909  and  four  in  1904. 

Agricultural  implements. — This  classification  in- 
cludes the  manufacture  of  various  kinds  of  seeders 
and  planters,  implements  of  cultivation,  harvesting 
implements,  seed  separators,  etc.  There  was  an  over- 
production of  agricultural  implements  in  Illinois  in 

1903,  followed  by  a curtailment  of  manufacture  in 

1904.  The  figures  for  1904,  the  year  covered  by  the 
census,  are  therefore  below  the  normal.  The  value 
of  the  products  of  the  industry  shows  a decrease  of  8.6 
per  cent  in  1904  as  compared  with  1899,  but  in  1909 
it  amounted  to  $57,268,000,  representing  an  increase 
of  49.1  per  cent  as  compared  with  1904,  and  of  36.2 
per  cent  as  compared  with  1899.  Illinois  is  the  leading 
state  in  this  industry,  reporting  39.1  per  cent  of  the 
total  value  of  products  for  the  United  States  in  1909, 
34.3  per  cent  in  1904,  and  41.5  per  cent  in  1899. 

Liquors,  distilled. — This  industry  was  seventh  in 
the  state  in  1909  and  in  1899  as  measured  by  value 
of  products,  and  sixth  in  1904.  In  1909,  as  in  1904 


and  1899,  Illinois  ranked  first  ii)  this  itidiistry  in 
the  United  States,  reporting  })rodiicts  in  1909  valued 
at  $55,200,000,  or  27  per  cent  of  the  total  for  the 
United  States.  Of  tho  total  value  of  j)roducts  of  this 
industry  in  the  state  in  1909,  more  than  three-fourths 
($42,758,000)  represents  tho  Federal  internal-revenue 
tax.  The  greater  part  of  the  distilled  li(piors  made  in 
Illinois  was  corn  whisky,  the  state  ranking  high  in  the 
])roduction  of  corn. 

Liquors,  malt. — During  the  five-year  period  1904- 
1 909  the  number  of  breweries  decreased  from  1 1 6 to  106, 
but  there  was  an  increase  of  365,  or  9.1  per  cent,  in 
the  average  number  of  wage  earners  and  of  $4,662,000, 
or  19.6  per  cent,  in  the  value  of  products. 

Flour-mill  and  gristmill  products. — This  classifica- 
tion includes  mills  grinding  wheat,  rye,  barley,  buck- 
wheat, or  corn,  but  it  does  not  include  mills  doing 
custom  grinding  exclusively,  or  factories  making 
fancy  cereals  or  other  food  preparations  as  a chief 
product.  Statistics  for  custom  gristmills,  however, 
are  presented  separately  on  page  728.  The  number 
of  estabhshments  reporting  increased  from  363  in 
1904  to  461  in  1909,  and  during  the  same  period  there 
was  a slight  increase  (54)  in  the  average  number  of 
wage  earners  reported,  and  an  increase  of  $11,219,000, 
or  28.1  per  cent,  in  value  of  products. 

Lumber  and  timber  products. — This  industry  em- 
braces logging  operations,  sawmills,  planing  mills,  and 
establishments  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  wooden 
packing  boxes.  It  does  not  include  mills  engaged 
exclusively  or  cliiefly  in  custom  sawing  for  local  con- 
sumption, statistics  for  which  are  given  on  page  728. 
Over  one-half  of  the  814  establishments  reporting  were 
sawmills,  but  the  greater  part  of  the  total  value  of  prod- 
ucts was  reported  by  the  planing  mills,  which  include 
establishments  maldng  sash,  doors,  blinds,  stairwork, 
moldings,  and  interior  woodwork.  From  1904  to  1909 
the  value  of  products  increased  $12,211,000,  or  37.3 
per  cent. 

Cars  and  general  shop  construction  and  repairs  by  steam- 
railroad  companies. — Among  the  manufacturing  indus- 
tries this  one  is  peculiar  in  that  it  is  practically  confined 
to  repairs  on  the  rolling  stock  and  equipment  of  the 
railroad  companies  operating  the  plants,  and  that  ex- 
cept to  the  very  limited  extent  that  repair  work  is  done 
for  other  companies  the  amount  shown  as  value  of 
products  represents  oiiR'  the  cost  of  materials  added 
to  the  expenditure  for  salaries  and  wages,  etc.  The  in- 
dustry does  not  include  minor  repairs  made  in  round- 
houses. From  1904  to  1909  the  number  of  establish- 
ments decreased  from  99  to  73,  while  the  average 
number  of  wage  earners  increased  4,036,  or  21.1  per 
cent,  and  the  value  of  products  $6,738,000,  or  26.4 
per  cent. 

Cars,  steam-railroad,  not  including  operations  of  rail- 
road companies. — For  this  industry  Illinois  reported  in 
1909  more  than  one-fifth  of  the  total  value  of  products 
for  the  United  States.  Wliile  the  number  of  estab-

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


lishitieiits  in  tlie  state  increased  from  16  in  1904  to  28 
in  1909,  and  the  average  number  of  wage  earners  from 
9,036  to  10,945,  or  21 .1  per  cent,  the  value  of  products 
decreased  $3,925,000,  or  12.7  per  cent.  Eighteen  of 
the  car  construction  shops  reported  in  1909  were  in 
Chicago.  The  products  of  tliese  plants  include  sleep- 
ing cars,  dining  cars,  chair  cars,  mail,  express,  and 
baggage  cars,  and  refrigerator  cars,  as  well  as  ordinary 
passenger  coaches  and  many  kinds  of  freight  cars.  In 
1904  Illinois  held  fu’st  place  in  value  of  products  for 
this  industry  in  the  United  States,  but  in  1909  it  stood 
second. 

Furniture  and  refrigerators. — This  industry  embraces 
the  manufacture  of  wood  and  metal  furniture  of  all 
kinds,  refrigerators  and  ice  boxes,  and  store  and  office 
fixtures,  with  the  exception  of  products,  such  as  show 
cases,  which  are  provided  for  by  a distinct  classifi- 
cation. This  industry  shows  increases  from  1904  to 
1909  of  29  per  cent  in  number  of  establishments,  9.2  per 
cent  in  average  number  of  wage  earners,  and  24.6  per 
cent  in  value  of  products. 

Fdectrical  machinery,  apparatus,  and  supplies. — The 
most  important  products  of  the  establishments  in  this 
industry  in  Illinois  are  insulated  wires  and  cables  and 
telephone  apparatus.  From  1904  to  1909  the  number 
of  establishments  increased  from  104  to  143,  the  average 
number  of  wage  earners  increased  3,510,  or  57.2  per 
cent,  and  the  value  of  products  $10,126,000,  or  60.6 
per  cent.  During  the  preceding  five-year  period  the 
number  of  estabhshmeiits  increased  from  82  to  104, 
the  number  of  wage  earners  increased  1.4  per  cent,  and 
the  value  of  products,  37.2  per  cent. 

Copper,  tin,  and  sheet-iron  products. — This  classifica- 
tion comprises  the  manufacture  of  all  sheet-metal 
products  of  copper,  tin,  and  sheet  iron,  including  the 
preparation  of  copper,  tin,  or  sheet-iron  materials  for 
building  construction.  Between  1904  and  1909  the 
number  of  establishments  increased  from  288  to  483, 
the  average  number  of  wage  earners  increased  1,828, 
or  32.4  per  cent,  and  the  value  of  products,  $7,438,000, 
or  48.3  per  cent.  In  this  industry  Illinois  held  second 
place  in  the  United  States  in  1909,  with  11.4  per  cent 
of  the  total  value  of  products. 

Gas,  illuminating  and  heating. — The  number  of  estab- 
lishments in  this  industry  increased  from  64  in  1904  to 
78  in  1909,  and  the  total  value  of  products  increased 
$5,044,000,  or  31.5  per  cent. 

Musical  instruments,  pianos  and  organs  and  mate- 
rials.— This  classification  covers,  in  general,  the  manu- 
facture of  pianos,  organs,  and  piano-players,  and 
materials  used  in  their  construction,  such  as  piano 
cases,  strings,  keys,  keyboards,  jicdal  attachments, 
sounding  boards,  and  back  frames,  organ  reeds,  pijies, 
and  stops,  and  piano  and  organ  hardware.  It  does 
not  include  the  manufacture  of  band  and  orchestral 
instruments,  such  as  horns,  clarinets,  flutes,  drums, 
violins,  and  similar  instruments,  which  are  included 
under  the  head  of  “Musical  instruments  and  mate- 
rials, not  specified.”  In  1909  there  were  68  establish- 


ments in  the  industry,  as  compared  with  56  in  1904, 
and  the  number  of  wage  earners  increased  1,269,  or 
16.9  per  cent,  during  the  five-year  period.  The  value 
of  products  shows  an  increase  of  43.9  per  cent,  as 
against  an  increase  of  63.4  per  cent  for  the  five-year 
period  1899-1904.  Measured  by  value  of  products 
Illinois  ranked  second  in  this  industry  in  the  United 
States  in  1909,  1904,  and  1899,  the  value  of  its  prod- 
ucts forming  21.4  })er  cent  of  the  total  for  the  country 
in  1909,  and  practically  20  per  cent  in  both  1904  and 
1899. 

Butter,  cheese,  and  condensed  milk. — The  number  of 
establishments  in  this  industry  shows  a decrease  of  1 10, 
or  over  one-fourth,  from  1904  to  1909,  and  a decrease 
of  122  from  1899  to  1904.  The  average  number  of 
wage  earners  increased  17  per  cent  from  1899  to  1904, 
but  in  1909  the  number  was  practically  the  same  as  in 
1904.  The  value  of  products  increased  only  3.1  per 
cent  in  the  earlier  five-year  period,  while  in  the  later 
period  it  increased  34.1  per  cent.  The  changes  shown 
for  the  decade  indicate  the  abandonment  of  many  of 
the  small  factories  and  an  increase  in  the  output  of  the 
larger  ones.  Condensed  milk  is  the  most  important 
of  the  products.  The  state  ranked  second  in  the  value 
of  condensed  milk  produced  in  1909  (New  York 
leading),  seventh  in  the  value  of  cheese,  and  eighth  in 
the  value  of  butter.  In  the  total  value  of  products 
for  the  industry  the  state  held  fifth  j)lace  in  1909,  as 
compared  with  fourth  place  in  both  1904  and  1899. 

Boots  and  shoes,  including  cut  stock  and  findings. — 
Under  this  head  are  included  factories  making  boots 
and  shoes  and  those  whose  chief  products  are  cut  stock 
and  findings,  as  well  as  shops  specially  engaged  in 
stitching,  crimping,  fitting,  and  bottoming,  or  perform- 
ing other  special  oj^erations  in  connection  with  the 
manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes.  The  manufacture  of 
footwear  not  coming  strictly  under  the  head  of  “Boots 
and  shoes,”  such  as  overgaiters,  moccasins,  and  leg- 
gings, is  also  covered  by  this  designation.  There  were 
decreases  from  1899  to  1904  in  the  number  of  establish- 
ments, average  number  of  wage  earners,  and  value  of 
products,  but  there  was  a decided  increase  in  the  in- 
dustry during  the  five-year  ])eriod  1904-1909  and  a 
net  increase  during  the  decade. 

Clothing,  women’s. — In  addition  to  the  making  of 
suits,  dresses,  skirts,  and  shirtwaists,  this  industry 
includes  the  manufacture  of  women’s  underwear  and 
night  robes,  of  infants’  clothing,  and  of  such  articles  as 
belts,  dress  shields,  and  hose  su])porters.  From  1904 
to  1909  there  was  an  increase  of  30,  or  15.7  per  cent, 
in  the  number  of  establishments  in  this  industry;  of 
1,461,  or  31.2  per  cent,  in  the  average  number  of  wage 
earners;  and  of  $4,398,000,  or  35.9  ))er  cent,  in  the 
value  of  ])roducts. 

Patent  medicines  and  compounds  ami  druggists’ 
preparations. — Under  this  head  are  included  estab- 
lishments making  so-called  j)atont  medicines  and  also 
some  compounds  that  are  not  used  for  medicinal 
j)urposes,  and  those  manufacturing  capsules,  extracts,

tinctures,  and  other  pharinaeeuticals,  and  perfumery 
and  cosmetics.  There  was  a decrease  of  1.5  per  cent 
m the  value  of  products  of  tliis  industry,  and  of  12  per 
cent  in  the  value  added  by  manufacture  during  the 
five-year  period  1904-1909,  wdiile  during  the  preceding 
five-year  period  there  were  increases  of  103.6  per  cent 
and  118.8  per  cent,  respectively.  Measured  by  value 
of  products,  the  state  ranked  third  in  this  industry  in 
the  United  States  in  1909,  with  9.2  ])er  cent  of  the 
total  for  the  country  as  a whole. 

Automobiles,  including  bodies  and  parts. — There  was 
a remarkable  growth  in  the  manufacture  of  auto- 
mobiles during  the  five-year  period  1904-1909.  The 
number  of  establishments  increased  from  12  to  65 ; the 
average  number  of  wage  earners  employed,  from  167 
to  2,382;  and  the  value  of  products,  from  $357,000  to 
$7,154,000. 

The  rank  of  the  industries  shown  in  the  table  on 
pages  702  and  703,  on  the  basis  of  value  added  by 
manufacture  is  somewhat  different  from  their  rank  as 
determined  by  value  of  products.  Slaughtering  and 
meat  packing  drops  from  first  place  to  fourth,  the  men’s 
clothing  industry  from  third  to  fifth,  and  the  steel 
works  and  rolling  mills  from  fifth  to  seventh,  while  the 
foundry  and  machiae-shop,  printing  and  publishing, 
and  distillery  industries  become  first,  second,  and 
third,  respectively.  The  manufacture  of  agricultural 
implements,  the  lumber  industry,  and  the  manufac- 
ture of  paint  and  varnish  are  the  only  industries 
presented  separately  in  the  table  which  maintain  the 
same  rank  in  both  cases,  being  sixth,  ninth,  and  twen- 
tieth, respectively.  In  those  industries  in  which  the 
manufacturing  processes  are  comparatively  simple 
or  are  carried  on  largely  by  the  aid  of  machinery,  the 
value  added  by  manufacture  is  not  commensurate  with 
the  gross  value  of  products  and  the  rank  on  the  basis 
of  value  added  by  manufacture  is  much  lower  than  the 
rank  on  the  basis  of  value  of  products.  This  is  espe- 
cially noticeable  in  the  flour-mill  and  gristmill  indus- 
try, which  drops  from  eighth  place  in  value  of  products 
to  twenty-eighth  in  value  added  by  manufacture;  the 
blast  furnaces,  which  drop  from  tenth  place  to  twenty- 
second;  the  roasting  and  grinding  of  coffee  and  spice, 
which  drops  from  twenty-second  place  to  thirty-first; 
and  the  butter,  cheese,  and  condensed-milk  industry, 
which  drops  from  twenty-fourth  place  to  thirty-fifth. 
Of  the  83  industries  presented  in  this  table  for  which 
comparative  data  can  be  given  for  both  five-year 
periods,  34  show  a greater  rate  of  increase  in  value  of 
products  for  the  later  than  for  the  earlier  period;  29 
show  a lower  rate;  and  10  show  a decrease  for  the 
period  1904-1909,  while  10  others  show  a decrease  for 
the  period  1899-1904. 

As  stated  in  the  Introduction,  each  establishment, 
as  a whole,  has  been  assigned  to  a given  classification 
according  to  its  products  of  chief  value,  so  that  the 
figures  for  any  given  industry  must  not  be  taken 
either  as  fully  covering  or  as  representing  exclusively 
the  operations  of  that  branch  of  manufacturing  indi- 


cated by  the  industry  designation.  Therefore,  in 
considering  the  relative  imj)ortancc  of  the  industries 
shown  in  the  preceding  table  or  in  Table  II,  page  740, 
it  should  be  noted  that  the  figures  for  several  of  the 
industries  listed  fall  short  of  being  a complete  pres- 
entation of  the  statistics  for  the  branch  of  manufac- 
turing covered  by  the  industry  designation.  Some 
conspicuous  examples  of  tliis  kind  in  Illinois  are  the 
following  industries,  in  each  of  which  the  value  of  the 
})roducts  reported  in  1909  by  establishments  included 
under  other  classifications  exceeded  $1,000,000:  Can- 
ning and  preserving,  carriages  and  wagons  and  ma- 
terials, chemicals,  women’s  clothhig,  foundry  and  ma- 
clune-shop  products,  and  patent  medicines  and  com- 
pounds and  druggists’  preparations. 

Persons  engaged  in  manufacturing  industries. — The 
follomng  table  shows,  for  1909,  the  distribution  of  the 
number  of  persons  engaged  in  manufactures,  the  aver- 
age number  of  wage  earners  being  distributed  by  sex 
and  age.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind,  however,  that 
the  sex  and  age  classification  of  the  average  number 
of  wage  earners  m this  and  other  tables  is  an  estimate 
obtained  by  the  method  described  in  the  Introduction.

The  average  number  of  persons  engaged  in  manu- 
factures during  1909  was  561,044,  of  whom  465,764 
were  wage  earners.  Of  the  remainder,  33,611  were 
proprietors  and  officials  and  61,669  were  clerks.  Cor- 
responding figures  for  individual  industries  will  be 
found  in  Table  II,  page  740. 

The  next  table  shows,  for  1909,  the  percentage  of 
proprietors  and  officials,  clerks,  and  wage  earners, 
respectively,  among  the  total  number  of  persons  em- 
ployed in  manufactures.  It  covers  all  industries 
combined  atid  40  important  industries  individually. 

Of  the  total  number  of  persons  engaged  in  aU 
manufacturing  industries,  6 per  cent  were  proprietors 
and  officials,  11  per  cent  clerks,  and  83  per  cent  wage 
earners.  The  highest  percentage  of  proprietors  and 
officials  shown  for  any  individual  industry,  34.3,  is 
for  the  butter,  cheese,  and  condensed-milk  industry. 
Many  of  the  establishments  in  this  industr}^  are  carried 
on  by  cooperative  associations,  and  from  the  informa- 
tion contained  in  the  reports  it  was  often  impossible 
positively  to  distinguish  such  associations  from  part- 
nershi]>s.  It  is  probable,  therefore,  that  members  of 
some  of  these  cooperative  associations  have  been

tabulated  as  partners.  In  the  flour-mill  and  gristmill, 
tobacco,  and  bakery  industries  also  the  percentage  of 
proprietors  and  odicials  is  high.  In  these  industries 
the  majority  of  the  establishments  are  small  and  the 
work  is  to  a large  extent  done  by  the  ])roprietors  or 
their  immediate  representatives,  so  that  the  propor- 
tion of  persons  engaged  in  these  industries  falling  into 
the  class  of  ])roprictors  and  olhcials  is  very  much 
higher  than  for  most  other  industries  or  for  sill  indus- 
tries combined.

PERSONS  ENGAGED  IN  MANUFACTURES. 


On  account  of  the  large  average  number  of  wage 
earners  per  establishment  in  certain  industries,  the 
proportion  of  proprietors  and  officials  in  the  industry 
is  small.  The  more  im])ortant  industries  of  this  class 
are  the  manufacture  of  clocks  and  watches,  slaughter- 
ing and  meat  packing,  blast  furnaces,  steel  works  and 
rolling  mills,  steam-railroad  repair  shops,  car  construc- 
tion shops,  and  the  smelting  and  refining  of  zinc. 

The  following  table  shows,  for  1909,  in  percentages, 
for  all  industries  combined,  the  distribution  of  the 
average  number  of  wage  earners  by  age  periods,  and 
of  those  16  years  of  age  and  over  by  sex,  calculated  in 
the  manner  described  in  the  Introduction.  It  also 
shows,  for  some  of  the  imjiortant  industries  separately, 
a similar  distribution  of  wage  earners  as  reported  for 


December  15,  or  the  nearest  representative  day.  As 
a means  of  judging  the  importance  of  the  several 
industries  the  average  number  em])loyed  for  the  year 
is  also  given  in  each  case.

2 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


In  all  manufacturing  industries  combined,  82.2  per 
cent  of  the  average  number  of  wage  earners  in  1909 
were  males  16  years  of  age  and  over;  16.3  per  cent, 
females  16  years  of  age  and  over;  and  1.5  per  cent, 
children  under  the  age  of  16.  The  men’s  clothing 
industry  emjiloyed  more  women  than  any  other  one 
industry,  and  together  with  the  women’s  clothing 
and  men’s  furnishing  goods  industries,  employed 
nearly  one-third  of  the  total  number  of  female 
wage  earners  16  yeai-s  of  age  and  over  reported  for 
the  state.  Other  industries  em])loying  large  num- 
bers of  female  wage  earners  were  printing  and  pub- 
lishing, slaughtering  and  meat  jiacking,  and  the 
manufacture  of  clocks  and  watches,  millinery  and  lace 
goods,  electrical  machinery,  tobacco  products,  and 
fancy  and  paper  boxes.  Of  tlie  industries  presented 
in  the  table  above,  those  which  show  the  highest  pro- 
])ortion  of  female  wage  earners  16  years  of  age  or  over

aro  the  men’s  furnishing  goods  industry,  with  84.2 
per  cent;  the  millinery  and  lace  goods  industry,  with 

75.4  per  cent;  and  the  women’s  clothing  industry, witli 

67.4  per  cent.  Statistics  for  a number  of  otlier  less 
important  industries  in  which  the  female  wage  earners 
predominate  will  be  found  in  Tal)le  II,  page  740.  Of 
tlie  wage  earnem  under  16  years  of  age,  40.9  per  cent 
were  emploj^ed  in  tlie  seven  industries  wliich  reported 
an  average  of  over  200  such  wage  earners  each. 
These  industries  were  the  men’s  clothing  industry, 
with  an  average  of  995;  printing  and  publishing,  with 
739;  the  manufacture  of  fancy  and  paper  boxes,  with 
410;  the  boot  and  shoe  industry,  with  334;  the  manu- 
facture of  pianos  and  organs,  with  309;  the  confec- 
tionery industry,  with  255;  and  foundries  and  machine 
shops,  with  202.  The  proportion  of  children  in  the 
total  number  of  wage  earners  was  highest  (8.1  per 
cent)  in  the  manufacture  of  patent  medicines  and 
compounds,  but  the  average  number  employed  was 
only  151. 

In  order  to  compare  the  distribution  of  persons 
engaged  in  manufactures  in  1909  with  that  shown  at 
the  census  of  1904,  it  is  necessary  to  use  the  classifica- 
tion employed  at  the  earlier  census.  (See  Introduc- 
tion.) 'The  following  table  makes  this  comparison 
according  to  occupational  status:

Tlie  proportion  of  wage  earners  under  16  years  of 
age  in  all  manufacturing  industiies  combined  was 
only  one-half  as  great  in  1909  as  in  1899.  There  was 
a moderate  increase  during  the  decade,  however,  in  the 
proportion  of  female  wage  earners  16  years  of  age  or 
over,  while  the  pro[)ortion  of  males  16  years  of  age  or 
over  shows  a slight  decrease. 

Wage  earners  employed,  by  months. — The  following 
tabular  statement  gives  the  numbe'’  of  wage  earners 
employed  on  the  15th  of  each  month  during  the  year 
1909  for  all  industiies  combined;  it  also  gives  the 
percentage  which  the  number  reported  for  each  month 
is  of  the  greatest  number  reported  for  any  month.  In 
Table  II,  page  740,  are  shown,  for  practically  all  of  the 
important  industries  in  the  state,  the  largest  number 
and  the  smallest  number  of  wage  earners  reported  for 
any  month.  The  figures  are  for  the  15th  day,  or  the 
nearest  representative  day,  of  the  month.

In  the  number  of  wage  earners  employed  in  all 
industries  combined  there  was  an  almost  continuous 
increase  throughout  the  year.  This  was  no  doubt  due 
to  general  business  conditions  rather  than  to  the 
employment  of  labor  in  the  so-called  seasonal  indus- 
tries. The  maximum  number  was  employed  in  Decem- 
ber, and  the  minimum  number,  which  was  88  per  cent 
of  the  maximum,  in  January. 

There  are  no  very  important  seasonal  industries  in 
Illinois,  but  among  the  industries  which  show  a con- 
siderable fluctuation  in  the  number  of  wage  earners 
employed  throughout  the  year  may  be  mentioned 
canning  and  preserving,  with  a maximum  of  6,539 
wage  earners  in  September  and  a minimum  of  1,013, 
or  15.5  per  cent  of  the  maximum,  in  January;  the 
glass  industry,  with  a maximum  of  4,396  in  April  and 
May  and  a minimum  of  1,441,  or  32.8  per  cent  of  the 
maximum,  in  September;  the  manufacture  of  artificial 
stone,  with  a maximum  of  1,040  in  June  and  a mini- 
mum of  369,  or  35.5  per  cent  of  the  maximum,  in  Janu- 
ary; the  artificial-ice  industry,  with  a maximum  of 
1,134  in  August  and  a minunum  of  479,  or  42.2  per 
cent  of  the  maximum,  in  January;  and  the  brick  and 
tile  industry,  with  a maximum  of  8,302  in  June  and  a 
minimum  of  3,795,  or  45.7  per  cent  of  the  maximum, 
in  January.  While  these  five  industries  show  con- 
siderable variations,  the  total  number  of  wage  earners 
employed  in  them  was  too  small  to  affect  materially 
the  variation  in  employment  for  all  industries  com- 
bined.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


Prevailing  hours  of  labor, — In  the  following  table 
wage  earners  have  been  classiliecl  according  to  the 
hours  of  labor  ])rovailing  in  the  establishments  in 
which  they  are  emj)loye(l.  In  making  this  classifica- 
tion the  average  number  of  wage  earners  employed 
during  the  year  is  used,  and  the  number  em[)loyed  in 
each  establishment  is  classified  as  a total  according  to 
the  hours  ])rcvailing  in  that  establishment,  even  though 
a few  employees  work  a greater  or  less  number  of  hours. 

Of  the  wage  earners  employed  in  the  manufacturing 
industries  of  Illinois  in  1909,  69.2  per  cent  worked  in 
establishments  where  the  prevailing  hours  of  labor 
ranged  from  54  to  60  a week.  Only  8.1  per  cent 


worked  in  establishments  where  the  prevailing  hours 
exceeded  60  a week,  and  only  22.7  per  cent  in  estab- 
lishments where  they  were  less  than  54  a week.  All 
of  the  wage  earners  in  the  blast-furnace  industry  and 
nearly  all  of  those  in  the  cement  and  gas  industries 
worked  in  establishments  where  the  prevailing  hours 
exceeded  72  a week,  while  nearly  three-fifths  of  those 
in  the  steelworks  and  rolling  mills  were  in  establish- 
ments where  the  prevailing  hours  were  at  least  72  a 
week.  In  the  breweries,  printing  and  publishing 
estabhshments,  and  tobacco  factories,  on  the  other 
hand,  the  majority  of  the  wage  earners  worked  48 
hours  or  less  per  week.

Location  of  establishments. — The  following  table 
shows  the  extent  to  which  the  manufactures  of  Illi- 
nois are  centralized  in  incorporated  places  of  10,000 
inhabitants  or  over.  (See  Introduction.) 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  statistics  for  Cicero  were 
not  tabulated  separately  for  1899,  the  figures  shown 
in  the  table  for  1899  fall  short  to  that  extent  of  a 
complete  presentation  of  the  manufactures  statistics 
for  the  incorporated  places  haidng  a population  of 
over  10,000  in  1900.  In  1909,  however,  Cicero  and 


Oak  Park  (which  was  organized  from  part  of  Cicero 
in  1902)  employed  an  average  of  only  940  wage 
earners  in  manufacturing  industries,  while  the  com- 
bined value  of  their  manufactured  products  was 
only  $2,578,861,  figures  which  are  in  each  case 
equivalent  to  less  than  one-half  of  1 per  cent  of 
the  corresponding  totals  for  1899  for  incorporated 
places  having  a population  of  10,000  or  over,  so 
that  the  effect  of  the  omission  upon  the  statistics  is 
negligible.

In  1909,  83.1  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products 
was  reported  from  incorporated  places  having  over 
10,000  inhabitants,  and  81.5  per  cent  of  the  average 
number  of  wage  earners  were  employed  in  such  places. 
The  figures  indicate  that,  except  in  number  of  estab- 
lishments, the  manufacturing  interests  in  the  territory 


outside  of  such  incorporated  places  gained  somewhat, 
on  the  whole,  during  the  last  decade,  in  their  propor- 
tions of  the  respective  totals  for  the  state,  in  spite  of 
the  greater  increase  in  population  in  the  cities. 

The  make-up  of  the  several  groups  shown  in  the 
table  has  been  affected  by  the  increase  in  population

of  certain  of  the  cities.  There  were  19  incor])orated 
j)l!u;os  having  i)otween  10,000  and  25,000  inhabitants 
in  1900,  5 of  which — Decatur,  Aurora,  Danville, 
Elgin,  and  Bloomington — had  ])assed  the  25,000  mark 
in  i)opulation  by  1910,  while  1 city — Ottawa  — 
droj)})od  out  of  the  grou})  through  a decline  in  popula- 
tion. These  losses  were  ])artially  made  up,  however, 
by  the  addition  in  1910  of  the  cities  of  Waukegan, 
Cliic.ago  Heights,  Champaign,  Mattoon,  Lincoln,  and 
Canton,  as  the  result  of  increases  in  their  population 
during  the  decade,  while  the  number  of  places  included 
in  the  group  was  further  increased  by  the  organization 
of  Oak  Park  from  part  of  Cicero  in  1902.  This  group 
shows  a decrease  in  its  proportion  of  the  total  for  every 
item  presented  in  the  table  except  value  of  products, 
for  which  it  shows  an  increase  from  5.3  per  cent  of  the 
state  total  in  1899  to  5.8  per  cent  in  1909.  The  influ- 
ence of  the  addition  of  the  five  cities  named  above  to 
the  group  comprising  the  cities  having  between  25,000 
and  100,000  inhabitants,  which  increased  the  number 
of  cities  included  from  6 to  11,  is  reflected  in  the  larger 
proportions  which  the  group  contributed  to  the  various 
totals  in  1909  as  compared  with  1899.  Chicago,  the 
only  city  havuig  more  than  100,000  inhabitants,  shows 
a decrease  in  its  proportions  of  the  total  for  all  items 
except  number  of  establishments.  Of  the  total  num- 
ber of  wage  earners  employed  in  Illinois  in  1909,  63.1 
per  cent  were  in  Chicago,  and  66.8  per  cent  of  the  total 
value  of  products  was  credited  to  this  city.  The  cor- 
responding figures  for  1899  were  66.4  per  cent  and  71.2 
per  cent,  respectively. 

The  following  statement  shows  the  principal  statis- 
tics for  1909  and  1899  for  Ottawa,  which  had  a popu- 
lation in  1900  in  excess  of  10,000  but  which  fell  below 
this  figure  in  1910:

In  the  decade  1899-1909  the  value  of  manufactured 
products  for  Ottawa  increased  42  per  cent  and  the 
value  added  by  manufacture  52.8  per  cent.  The  lead- 
ing industries  in  1909  were  the  manufacture  of  glass, 
pottery,  terra-cotta,  and  fire-clay  products,  agricul- 
tural implements,  carriages  and  wagons,  and  pianos. 
Forty-six  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  wage  earn- 
ers were  employed  in  the  first  two  industries  named. 

The  population,  in  1910  and  1900,  of  the  32  incor- 
porated places  which  had  10,000  inhabitants  or  over 
in  1910,  and  of  Ottawa,  which  had  over  10,000  inhab- 
itants in  1900  but  less  than  that  number  in  1910,  is

Every  city  for  which  comparative  statistics  can  be 
given,  except  Bloomington  and  Lincoln,  shows  an 
increase  in  value  of  products  from  1904  to  1909,  and 
all  but  La  Salle  an  increase  fi’om  1899  to  1904.  The 
greatest  gain,  151.2  per  cent,  was  made  by  Freeport, 
and  was  due  largely  to  the  increased  ])roduction  of 
carriages  and  wagons,  windmills,  and  patent  medicines 
and  compounds.  A gain  of  81.8  per  cent  was  made 
by  Waukegan,  mainly  on  account  of  the  increased 
production  of  glucose  and  of  steel-works  and  rolling- 
mill  products.  The  next  largest  increase,  72 .2  per  cent,

is  shown  for  East  St.  Louis,  and  was  due  principally 
to  largo  increases  in  the  output  of  the  stcam-raihoad 
repair  shops,  Hour  mills  and  gristmills,  chemical  works, 
paint  works,  and  foundries  and  machine  shops. 

Chicago,  with  manufactured  products  valued  at 
$1,281,171,181  and  an  average  of  293,977  wage  earners 
in  manufacturing  industries  in  1909,  is  not  only  the 
most  important  manufacturing  city  in  Illinois  but 
ranks  second  only  to  New  York  City  in  the  United 
States  as  a whole. 

In  fact,  there  were  only  four  states  besides  Illinois 
(namely.  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Massachusetts, 
and  Ohio),  which  had  a greater  value  of  products  in 
1909  than  the  city  of  Chicago.  The  percentage  of 
increase  from  1904  to  1909  in  average  number  of  wage 
earners  was  21.5  and  in  value  of  products,  34.1,  as  com- 
pared with  corresponding  percentages  of  9.4  and  19.7, 
respectively,  for  the  preceding  five-year  period.  The 
rates  of  increase  for  Chicago  from  1904  to  1909,  how- 
ever, were  a little  below  those  shown  for  the  entire 
state. 

The  leading  industries  of  Chicago  for  which  statistics 
can  be  presented  separately,  arranged  in  the  order  of 
value  of  products,  are  shown  in  the  following  table 
which  gives  the  absolute  and  relative  increase  in  this 
respect  between  1904  and  1909,  and  also  the  percentage

The  great  importance  of  the  slaughtering  and  meat- 
pafeking  industry  in  Chicago  is  apparent  when  it  is 
noted  that  its  value  of  products  formed  25.4  per  cent 
of  the  total  for  all  manufacturing  industries  in  the  city 


and  23.7  per  cent  of  the  United  States  total  for  the 
industry.  Comparative  statistics  for  60  less  important 
industries,  in  addition  to  the  22  shown  in  the  preceding 
table,  are  presented  for  Chicago  in  Table  I,  page  733. 

In  addition  to  the  82  industries  presented  sepa- 
rately for  Chicago  in  Table  I,  page  733,  there  were  49 
others  which,  for  various  reasons,  are  included  under 
the  head  of  ‘'All  other  industries.”  Some  of  these 
industries  were  among  the  most  important  in  the  city, 
49  reporting  products  in  1909  exceeding  $1,000,000 
in  value.'  Of  these,  4 reported  products  valued  at 
$10,000,000  or  over;  7 reported  products  between 
$5,000,000  and  $10,000,000  in  value;  and  38  reported 
products  between  $1,000,000  and  $5,000,000  in  value. 

Peoria,  the  second  city  of  the  state  in  respect  to 
manufactures,  had  products  in  1909  valued  at  $63,- 
061,155,  an  increase  of  4.4  per  cent  over  the  figure  for 
1904.  Though  the  total  value  of  its  manufactured 
products  amounted  to  less  than  5 per  cent  of  that  for 
Chicago,  Peoria  is  known  widely  on  account  of  its 
distilleries,  the  value  of  the  products  of  which  in  1909 
formed  70.7  per  cent  of  the  total  for  all  manufactur- 
ing industries  of  the  city.  The  value  of  products 
reported  by  the  four  distilleries  of  Peoria  formed  a 
little  more  than  four-fifths  of  the  total  for  this  in- 
dustry in  Illinois,  and  over  one-fifth  of  the  total  for 
the  entire  country.  Other  important  industries  were: 
Slaughtering  and  meat  packing,  cooperage,  and  print- 
ing and  publishing;  the  manufacture  of  agricultural 
implements,  and  of  food  preparations;  and  the  brew- 
eries, foundries  and  machine  shops,  flour  mills  and 
gristmills,  and  bakeries. 

Joliet  holds  third  place  among  the  manufacturing 
cities  of  lUmois.  The  value  of  its  manufactured 
products  increased  18  per  cent  and  the  average  num- 
ber of  wage  earners  in  the  manufacturing  industries, 
10.2  per  cent  between  1904  and  1909.  The  most  im- 
portant industries  of  the  city  in  1909  wore  steel  works 
and  rolling  mills,  blast  furnaces,  and  the  manufacture 
of  wire,  and  of  coke,  each  of  which  was  represented 
by  one  establishment.  Over  one-half  of  both  the  total 


' These  industries  are : 

Agricultural  implements.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


number  of  wage  earners  and  the  total  value  of  prod- 
ucts was  credited  to  the  steelworks  and  rolling  mills 
and  the  blast  furnaces.  The  manufacture  of  coke  is  a 
comparatively  now  industry  in  Joliet. 

Rockford  has  a great  diversity  of  manufactures,  but 
the  furniture  factoi’ios,  knitting  mills,  agricultural- 
imi)lement  sho])s,  and  foundries  and  machine  shops 
were  the  most  im])ortaut  in  1909.  The  city  shows  a 
gain  of  28.6  ])er  cent  in  average  number  of  wage 
earners  and  45.8  })er  cent  in  value  of  products  for  the 
five-year  ])oriod  1904-1909. 

Moline  is  well  known  on  account  of  the  large  number 
of  plows  manufactured  there.  Four  establishments 
manufacturing  agricultural  implements  gave  employ- 
ment to  more  than  one-half  the  total  number  of  wage 
earners  in  1909  and  reported  more  than  one-half  the 
total  value  of  products  for  the  city.  Other  important  in- 
dustries wore  the  manufacture  of  carriages  and  wagons, 
foundry  and  macliine-shop  products,  steelworks  and 
rolling-mill  products,  and  automobiles.  The  city 
shows  an  increase  from  1904  to  1909  of  36.7  per  cent 
in  average  number  of  wage  earners  and  of  58.8  per 
cent  in  value  of  ])roducts. 

The  chief  industries  of  Waukegan  are  the  manufac- 
ture of  glucose  and  the  steelworks  and  rolling  mills; 
these  two  industries  gave  employment  to  about  two- 
thirds  of  the  wage  earners  in  1909  and  reported  over 
three-fourths  of  the  total  value  of  products  for  the  city. 
This  city,  whose  po])ulation  was  less  than  10,000  in  1900, 
shows  an  increase  of  36.4  per  cent  in  average  number 
of  wage  earners  from  1904  to  1909,  and  of  81.8  per 
cent  in  value  of  products.  It  may  bo  noted  also  that 
the  value  of  products  reported  in  1909  was  more  than 
twenty-seven  times  that  in  1899. 

East  St.  Louis  made  a large  increase  (72.2  per  cent) 
in  value  of  products  between  1904  and  1909.  The 
most  important  industries  in  the  city  in  1909  were 
flour  mills  and  gristmills,  foundries  and  machine  shops, 
steel  works  and  rolling  mills,  the  chemical  industry, 
slaughtering  and  meat  packing,  and  the  manufacture 
of  paints  and  of  paper  and  wood  pulp.  Several  very 
large  slaughtering  and  meat-packing  estabJishments 
are  located  at  the  National  Stock  Yards,  just  outside 
the  city  limits,  but  the  statistics  presented  for  cities 
are  confined  to  establishments  within  the  city  limits. 

In  Quincy  the  principal  industries  in  1909  were  the 
manufacture  of  stoves  and  furnaces,  slaughteiing  and 
meat  packing,  the  manufacture  of  food  preparations, 
foundries  and  machine  shops,  and  breweries.  The 
increase  in  value  of  products  from  1904  to  1909  was 
only  6.4  ])er  cent,  and  there  was  a decrease  iji  the 
average  number  of  wage  earners  employed. 

Elgin  is  well  known  for  the  manufacture  of  watch 
movements.  The  mamd'acture  of  clocks  and  watches, 
including  cases  and  materials,  of  foundry  and  machine- 
shop  })roductsand  of  condensed  milk,  and  printing  and 
publishing  were  the  chief  contributors  to  Elgin’s  manu- 
facturing importance  in  1909,  the  four  industries 


employing  over  three-fourths  of  the  average  number 
of  wage  earners  and  reporting  more  than  one-half  of 
the  total  value  of  products. 

Aurora  shows  an  increase  of  24.9  per  cent  in  number 
of  wage  earners  and  of  49.5  per  cent  in  total  value  of 
products  from  1904  to  1909.  The  leading  industries 
were  steam-railroad  repair  shops,  foundries  and  ma- 
chine shops,  and  the  manufacture  of  bicycles,  motor 
cycles,  and  parts,  and  of  cotton  goods. 

The  leading  industries  in  Chicago  Heights  in  1909 
were  foundries  and  machine  shops,  steelworks  and 
rolling  mills,  and  steam-railroad  car  construction  shops. 
These  three  industries  reported  a majority  of  the  aver- 
age number  of  wage  earners  and  more  than  one-half 
the  total  value  of  products  for  the  city. 

While  Alton  shows  a decrease  of  640,  or  20.9  per 
cent,  between  1904  and  1909  in  the  average  number 
of  wage  earners  in  its  manufacturing  industries,  there 
was  an  increase  of  16.1  per  cent  in  the  value  of  its  man- 
ufactured products.  Flour  mills  and  gristmills,  glass- 
works, and  slaughtering  and  meat  packing  were  the 
leading  industries,  and  together  contributed  four- 
fifths  of  the  total  value  of  products.  More  than  one- 
half  of  the  average  number  of  wage  earners  reported 
for  the  city  wore  employed  in  the  glassworks. 

The  leading  industries  of  the  other  incorporated 
places  included  in  the  preceding  table  are  shown  in  the 
following  statement :

The  most  important  point  brouglit  out  by  tliis  table 
is  the  extent  of  corporate  ownership.  In  all  industries 
combined  28.9  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  estab- 
bsbments  were  under  corporate  ownership  in  1909,  as 
compared  with  27.8  per  cent  in  1904.  Estabbshments 
operated  by  corporations  reported  85.8  per  cent  of  the 
total  value  of  products  in  1909,  however,  and  83.6  per 
cent  in  1904.  Estabbshments  under  firm  ownership 
represented  only  16.5  per  cent  of  the  total  number  in 
1909,  as  against  18  per  cent  in  1904,  and  both  these 
estabbshments  and  those  owned  by  individuals  reported 
a smaller  proportion  of  the  total  number  of  wage 
earners  and  the  total  value  of  products  in  1909  than 
in  1904. 

In  8 of  the  20  individual  industries  for  which  bgures 
are  given  in  the  table,  namely,  the  manufacture  of 
paint  and  varnish;  the  foundries  and  machine  shops; 
the  tanning,  curiying,  and  finishing  of  leather;  the 
•manufacture  of  furniture  and  refrigerators;  the  manu- 
facture of  boots  and  shoes;  slaughtering  and  meat 
packing;  the  manufacture  of  patent  medicines  and 
compounds;  and  canning  and  preserving,  there  was  a 
larger  number  of  estabbshments  under  corporate  man- 
agement than  under  any  other  form  of  ownership, 
while  in  all  except  two  of  the  industries  shown — the 
men’s  clothing  and  the  women’s  clothing  industries — 
the  estabbshments  operated  by  corporations  con- 
tributed the  greater  part  of  the  total  value  of  products 
and  of  the  total  value  added  by  manufacture.  In  three 
industries — foundries  and  machine  shops,  the  manu- 
facture of  paint  and  varnish,  and  slaughtering  and  meat 
packing — over  90  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products 
and  total  value  added  by  manufacture  was  reported 
by  estabbshments  under  corporate  ownershi]).  Firm 
ownership  predominates  in  the  men’s  clothing  and 
women’s  clothing  industries. 


Size  of  establishment. — The  tendency  for  manufac- 
turing to  become  concentrated  in  large  estabbshments, 
or  the  reverse,  is  a matter  of  interest  from  the  stand- 
point of  industrial  organization.  In  order  to  throw 
some  light  upon  it  the  next  table  groups  the  estab- 
bshments according  to  the  value  of  their  products. 
The  table  also  shows  the  average  size  of  estabbshments 
for  all  industries  combined  and  for  certain  important 
industries  separately,  as  measured  by  average  number 
of  wage  earners,  value  of  products,  and  value  added 
by  manufacture.  The  totals  for  all  industries  are 
shown  for  the  last  two  censuses,  while  for  the  industries 
presented  separately  figures  are  given  for  1909  only. 

The  table  shows  that  of  the  18,026  manufacturing 
estabbshments  in  the  state  in  1909  only  273,  or  1.5 
per  cent,  had  a value  of  products  exceeding  $1,000,000. 
These  estabbshments,  however,  emjiloyed  an  average 
of  179,787  wage  earners,  or  38.6  per  cent  of  the  total 
number  in  all  estabbshments,  and  reported  56.2  jier 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  products  and  44.9  per  cent 
of  the  total  value  added  by  manufacture. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  very  small  establishments — 
that  is,  those  having  a value  of  jiroducts  of  less  than 
$5,000— constituted  a considerable  jiroportion  (34.3 
per  cent)  of  the  total  number  of  establishments,  but 
the  value  of  their  ])ro(lucts  amounted  to  only  eight- 
tenths  of  1 per  cent  of  the  total.  The  great  bulk  of 
the  manufacturing  was  done  in  establishments  having 
jiroducts  valued  at  not  less  than  $100,000. 

It  will  bo  seen  from  the  t able  that  during  the  five 
years  from  1904  to  1909  there  was  a considerable 
increase  in  the  relative  importance  of  tlie  largest  estab- 
lishments— those  reporting  products  valued  at  not  loss 
than  $1,000,000 — as  measured  by  mimbor  of  wage 
earners,  value  of  products,  and  value  added  by  manu- 
facture.

• Includes  the  groups  “Less  than  $5,000”  and  “$5,000  and  less  than  $20,000.” 

The  fact  that  the  average  value  of  products  per 
establishment  increased  between  1904  and  1909  from 
S94,521  to  $106,473,  and  the  value  added  by  manu- 
facture from  $38,220  to  $42,070,  can  not  be  taken  as 
in  itself  indicating  a tendency  toward  concentration. 
The  increased  values  shown  may  be,  and  probably  are, 
due  in  part  to  the  increase  that  has  taken  place  in  the 
prices  of  commodities.  The  average  number  of  wage 
earners  per  establishment  increased  from  25  to  26. 

Of  the  individual  industries  for  which  figures  are 
given  in  the  table,  those  in  which  the  average  size  of 
establishment  as  measured  by  value  of  products  was 
smallest,  were  the  manufacture  of  brick  and  tile; 
printing  and  publishing;  the  manufacture  of  patent

mediemes  and  compounds  and  druggists’  preparations; 
the  manufacture  of  copper,  tin,  and  sheet-iron  prod- 
ucts; and  the  manufacture  of  carriages  and  wagons. 
In  each  of  these  industries  more  than  70  per  cent  of 
the  establishments  rejiorted  products  valued  at  less 
than  $20,000  for  the  year  1909.  The  industries  in 
which  the  average  value  of  jiroducts  per  establishment 
was  the  largest  were  slaughtering  and  meat  packing, 
the  tanning,  currying,  and  finishing  of  leather,  the 
manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes,  ami  the  paint  and 
varnish  industiy,  in  which  61.5  ]>or  cent,  69  per  cent, 
49  per  cent,  and  48.6  per  cent,  respectively, of  the  estab- 
lishments reported  products  valued  at  $100,000  or 
over.

In  some  respects,  and  es])ecia]ly  from  the  standpoint 
of  conditions  under  which  persons  engaged  in  manu- 
factures work,  the  best  classification  of  the  establish- 
ments to  bring  out  tho  feature  of  size  is  a classification 
according  to  tho  number  of  wage  earners  employed. 


Tho  following  table  shows,  for  1009,  such  a classification 
for  all  industries  combined  and  for  certain  important 
industries  individually,  and  gives  not  only  tho  number 
of  establishments  falling  into  each  group  but  also  the 
average  number  of  wage  earners  employed.

1 Less  than  one-tenth  of  1 per  cent. 


Of  the  18,026  establishments  rejiorted  for  all  indus- 
tries, 14  per  cent  employed  no  wage  earners;  48.8  per 
cent,  from  1 to  5;  19.7  per  cent,  from  6 to  20;  8.8  per 
cent,  from  21  to  50;  3.9  per  cent,  from  51  to  100;  and 
4.8  per  cent,  over  100.  The  most  numerous  single 
group  consists  of  the  8,801  establishments  employing 
from  1 to  5 wage  earners  each,  and  the  next  of  the 
3,560  establishments  employing  from  6 to  20  wage 
earners  each.  There  were  39  establishments  that 
employed  over  1,000  wage  earners  each,  of  which  9 
were  engaged  in  slaughtering  and  meat  packing,  5 
in  the  making  of  men’s  clothing,  5 were  steel  works  and 
rolling  mills,  4 were  steam-railroad  repair  shops,  and 
4 were  agricultural -implement  factories.  In  some 
industries,  such  as  the  bakery  industiy,  the  manu- 
facture of  butter,  cheese,  and  condensed  milk,  the 
flour-mill  and  gristmill,  and  the  lumber  industries, 
printing  and  publishing,  and  tobacco  manufactures, 
the  establishments  are  mostly  small,  em[)loying  no 
wage  earners  or  less  than  6. 

Of  the  total  number  of  wage  earners,  95,905,  or  20.6 
per  cent,  were  in  establishments  employing  over 
1,000  each.  This  group,  which  employed  a larger 
number  of  wage  earners  than  any  other,  was  comjiosed 


mainly  of  slaughtering  and  meat-packing  establish- 
ments, steel  works  ami  rolling  mills,  men’s  clothing 
factories,  agricultural-implement  factories,  steam-rail- 
road repair  shops,  and  foundries  and  machine  shops. 

Most  of  the  industries  listed  in  this  table  but  not  in 
the  preceding  one,  namely,  the  manufacture  of  agri- 
cultural implements,  railroad  repair  shops,  steam- 
railroad  car  construction  shops,  the  manufacture  of 
clocks  and  watches  and  of  electrical  machinery,  the 
gas  and  blast-furnace  industries,  steel  works  and  roll- 
ing mills,  the  manufacture  of  jiianos  and  organs,  the 
smelting  and  refining  of  zinc,  and  the  manufacture 
of  soap,  are  industries  in  which  comparatively  large 
establishments  do  most  of  the  business,  as  apjiears 
from  the  classification  according  to  the  number  of 
wage  earners. 

Expenses. — As  stated  in  the  Introduction,  the  cen- 
sus does  not  purport  to  furnish  figures  that  can  be  used 
for  determining  tlio  cost  of  manufacture  and  jirofits. 
Facts  of  interest  can,  however,  be  brought  out  con- 
cerning the  relative  imjiortance  of  the  dill’orent  classes 
of  expenses  which  make  up  the  total. 

The  next  table  shows,  for  1909,  in  percentages, 
the  distribution  of  expenses  among  the  classes  indicated

for  all  iiulustriGS  combiuod  and  for  certain  important

This  table  shows  that,  for  all  industries  combined, 
67  per  cent  of  the  total  expenses  were  incurred  for 
materials,  21  per  cent  for  services — that  is,  salaries  and 
wages — and  12  per  cent  for  other  purposes.  As 
would  be  expected,  these  proportions  vary  greatly  in 
the  different  industries.  The  large  percentages  shown 
for  “Miscellaneous  expenses”  for  the  distillery  and 
brewery  industries  are  due  to  the  inclusion  of  internal- 
revenue  taxes  under  this  head. 

Engines  and  power. — The  next  table  shows,  for  all 
industries  combined,  the  number  of  engines  or  other 
motors,  according  to  their  character,  employed  in 
generating  power  (including  electric  motors  operated 
by  purchased  current),  and  their  total  horsepower  at 
the  censuses  of  1909,  1904,  and  1899.  It  also  shows 
separately  the  number  and  horsepower  of  electric 
motors,  including  those  operated  by  current  generated 
in  the  manufacturing  establishments. 

The  amount  of  primary  power  used  in  the  manu- 
facturing mdustries  of  Illinois  increased  32.6  per  cent 


from  1 899  to  1 904,  and  36.6  per  cent  from  1 904  to  1 909. 
Tfio  total  increase  during  the  decade  was  4.53,724 
horsei)ower,  72.9  jier  cent  of  which  was  in  power  gen- 
erated by  steam  engines.  Notwithstanding  this  largo 
increase  in  the  hoi-sepower  of  steam  engines,  their  pro- 
portion of  the  total  primary  power  decreased  from  90.7 
])er  cent  in  1899  to  82.7  per  cent  in  1909.  Power  gen- 
erated by  water  wheels  and  the  forms  of  power  included 
under  the  head  of  “Other”  show  a decrease  from  1904 
to  1909.  The  more  general  use  of  gas  engines  is  shown, 
the  number  of  such  engines  reported  being  1,755  in 
1909,  as  compared  with  1,447  in  1904  and  1,293  in 
1899.  Their  indicated  horsepower  was  37,025  in  1909, 
as  compared  with  12,319  in  1904  and  8,758  in  1899, 
the  increase  during  the  five-year  period  1904-1909 
being  24,706  horsepower,  or  a little  more  than  200  per 
cent.  Rented  electric  power  represented  11.5  per  cent 
of  the  total  primary  power  in  1909,  as  compared  with 
2.2  per  cent  in  1899,  and  the  amount  reported  in  1909 
was  more  than  nine  times  as  great  as  in  1899.

The  use  of  electric  motors  for  the  purjiose  of  apply- 
ing power  by  means  of  current  generated  tvithin  the 
establishment  is  also  shown  to  be  rapidly  becoming 
more  common,  the  horsepower  of  such  motors  having 
increased  from  36,764  in  1899  to  123,287  in  1904  and 
281,614  in  1909,  representing  an  increase  for  the 
decade  of  over  650  per  cent. 

Fuel. — Closely  related  to  the  question  of  kind  of 
power  employed  is  that  of  the  fuel  consumed  in  gen- 
erating this  power,  or  otherwise  used  as  material  in 
the  manufacturing  processes.  The  next  table  shows, 
for  1909,  the  quantity  of  each  kind  of  fuel  used  in 
all  industries  combined  and  in  selected  industries.

From  1904  to  1909  thoro  was  an  incioaso  of  257,920, 
or  7.1  per  cont,  in  llio  number  of  shoe])  slauglitorod 
and  of  217,711,  or  73.0  per  cent,  in  tho  number  of 
calves  slaufjbtered,  but  a decrease  of  401,829,  or  17.5 
pel*  cent,  in  tlic  number  of  beeves  slau{>:htered,  and  of 
500,820,  or  7.1  i)er  cent,  in  the  number  of  hogs  slaugh- 
tered. These  decreases  were  due  in  a large  measure 
to  a movement  of  the  industry  toward  the  stock- 
raising  states  of  tho  West  and  Southwest,  or  nearer 
the  source  of  supply. 

The  total  cost  of  materials  shows  an  increase  in  1909 
as  compared  with  1904  of  22.0  per  cent,  which  was 
practically  the  same  as  the  relative  increase  in  total 
value  of  *|>roducts. 

The  output  of  fresh,  salted,  and  cured  beef  decreased 
258,337,313  pounds,  or  17.8  per  cent,  from  1904  to 
1909;  that  of  fresh  mutton,  2,895,998  pounds,  or  1.8 
per  cent;  and  that  of  fresh  and  cured  pork,  122,245,924 
pounds,  or  10.7  per  cent;  while  that  of  fresh  veal 
increased  21,011,055  pounds,  or  09.2  per  cent,  and 
that  of  the  meats  included  under  the  head  of  “All 
other  meats  sold  fresh”  shows  an  increase  of 
136,190,097  pounds,  or  241.8  per  cent.  The  produc- 
tion of  lard  in  1909  was  53,399,009  pounds,  or  11.7  per 
cent,  less  than  in  1904,  although  its  value  shows  an 
increase  of  $9,128,952,  or  29  per  cent.  The  decrease 
shown  in  the  amount  of  oleo  oil  reported  in  1909  as 
compared  with  1904  was  due  to  the  fact  that  some 
slaughtering  and  meat-packing  establishments,  in- 
stead of  selling  the  oleo  oil  which  they  make  as  a by- 
product, now  use  it  in  the  manufacture  of  oleomar- 
garine. The  increase  in  the  quantity  of  the  oils  in- 
cluded under  the  head  of  “Other  oils”  results  almost 
entirely  from  an  increase  in  the  output  of  lard  oil. 

Printing  and  publishing. — The  progress  of  the  news- 
paper and  periodical  branch  of  the  printing  and  pub- 
lishing industry  is  indicated  in  the  follownig  statement, 
which  shows  the  number  and  aggregate  circulation  per 
issue  of  the  different  classes  of  publications  for  the 
years  1909,  1904,  and  1899:

number  and  in  circulation  of  dailies;  second  in  num- 
ber and  in  circulation  of  Sunday  papers;  first  in  num-

number  and  circulation  of  monthlies. 


The  number  of  dailies  and  the  number  of  montlilies 
both  show  an  increase  of  2 in  1909  as  compared  witli 
1904,  and  tho  number  of  publications  included  under 
tho  head  of  “All  other  classes”  an  increase  of  9.  The 
number  of  quarterlies  was  the  same  in  both  years, 
while  the  other  three  classes  show  decreases  in  number. 
A substantial  increase  in  circulation,  on  the  other  hand, 
is  shown  for  each  class  oxcejit  the  somiweeklies  and 
triweeklies,  while  tho  aggregate  circulation  reported 
for  all  news])apers  and  ])eriodicals  jiublishcd  increased 
during  this  period  from  16,542,740  to  20,823,166,  a 
gain  of  4,280,426,  or  25.9  jier  cent.  The  increase  in 
the  circulation  of  the  different  classes  of  publications 
was  as  follows:  Dailies,  369,584,  or  18.9  per  cent; 
Sunday  publications,  173,785,  or  12  per  cent;  week- 
lies. 416,547,  or  9.1  per  cent;  monthlies,  3,147,3.08,  or 
49.6  per  cent;  and  quarterlies,  69,558,  or  3.7  per  cent. 
In  number  and  circulation  of  publications  printed  in 
foreign  languages  Illinois  is  second  among  the  states, 
being  outranked  only  by  New  York,  and  it  leads  all 
the  states  in  number  and  circulation  of  newspapers 
and  periodicals  printed  in  the  Letto-Slavic  languages, 
having  41,  with  a total  circulation  of  342,007. 

The  following  tabular  statement  gives,  for  1909  and 
1904,  the  number  and  circulation  of  the  different  classes

In  using  tliis  table  it  should  bo  borne  in  mind  that  the 
year  1904  was  one  of  partial  depression  in  the  iron  and 
steel  industry,  and  hence  neither  com])aratively  small 
increases  in  quantity  and  value  for  1904  as  conqiarcd 
with  1899  nor  comparatively  large  increases  for  1909 


as  comjtarcd  with  1904  are  representative  of  the  normal 
rate  of  growth  for  the  industry. 

The  total  cost  of  the  materials  consumefl  in  the 
steel  works  and  rolling  mills  of  the  state  increased 
87.3  per  cent  from  1899  to  1909.  The  principal  in- 
crease was  in  the  most  important  group  of  materials, 
pig  iron  and  ferroalloys,  the  tonnage  of  which  in- 
creased from  1,410,721  to  2,433,805,  or  72.5  percent, 
accompaniefl  by  an  increase  from  $14,137,074  to 
$36,686,448,  or  159.5  per  cent,  in  cost.  Ingots, 
blooms,  billets,  etc.,  also  show  a material  increase  in 
both  tonnage  and  cost,  while  scrap  shows  a large 
decrease  in  both  respects. 

The  total  value  of  products  increased  91.8  per  cent 
from  1899  to  1909.  The  total  steel  production  was 
2,667,043  tons  in  1909,  as  compared  with  1,460,710 
tons  in  1899,  the  increase  for  the  decade  being  82.6 
per  cent.  The  output  of  all  classes  of  steel  increased 
between  1899  and  1909,  but  the  actual  increase  in  open- 
hearth  steel  was  particularly  striking.  Most  of  the 
increased  steel  production  was  in  the  form  of  ingots, 
the  tonnage  of  winch  increased  from  1,421,687  in 
1899  to  2,592,430  in  1909,  or  82.3  per  cent,  while  the 
tonnage  of  castings  increased  from  39,023  to  74,613, 
or  91.2  per  cent,  during  the  same  period.  The  lead- 
ing rolling-mill  products  in  1909  in  the  order  of  total 
tonnage  were  rails,  bars  and  rods,  wire  rods,  struc- 
tural shapes,  plates  and  sheets,  and  rail  fastenings. 

Iron  and  steel,  blast  furnaces. — The  tonnage  and 
value  of  pig  iron  produced  and  the  value  of  all  other 
products  in  1909,  1904,  and  1899  are  shown  in  the

The  production  of  pig  iron  in  the  state  increased 
48.7  per  cent  in  quantity  and  50.1  per  cent  in  value 
from  1904  to  1909,  as  compared  with  13  per  cent  in 
quantity  and  69.7  per  cent  in  value  during  the  five- 
year  period  1899-1904.  Bessemer  pig  iron  formed 
only  73.1  per  cent  of  the  total  production  in  1909, 
whereas  in  1904  and  in  1899  it  formed  over  85  per 
cent.  All  the  pig  iron  produced  in  Illinois  was 
coke  iron.  The  establishments  operating  the  blast 
furnaces  produced  in  1909,  2,152,608  tons  for  their 
own  use  and  316,164  tons  for  sale.

The  value  of  agricultural  implements  manufac- 
tured was  $57,268,325  in  1909,  as  compared  with 
$38,412,452  in  1904,  an  increase  for  the  five  years  of 
$18,855,873,  or  49.1  per  cent.  The  production  in 
1904,  however,  was  abnormally  low,  owing  to  an 
overproduction  in  1903,  and  a comparison  of  the 
figures  for  1909  with  those  for  1899,  therefore,  better 
indicates  the  true  growth  of  the  industry.  Such  a 
comparison  shows  an  increase  in  value  of  products 
for  the  decade  of  $15,234,529,  or  36.2  per  cent.  In 
both  1909  and  1904  harvesting  implements  consti- 
tuted the  most  important  class  of  products,  as  meas- 
ured by  value. 

Flour-mill  and  gristmill  products. — The  manufac-

White  flour,  which  is  the  leading  product  of  the  in- 
dustry in  the  state,  shows  an  increase  between  1904 
and  1909  of  420,935  barrels,  or  7.1  per  cent,  in  quan- 
tity, and  of  $6,315,201,  or  22.9  per  cent,  in  value, 
while  the  output  of  feed,  the  second  product  in  impor- 
tance on  the  basis  of  value,  increased  112,124  tons,  or 


76.1  ])er  cent,  in  quantity,  and  $3,619,310,  or  137.3 
per  cent,  in  value.  The  out])ut  of  hominy  and  grits 
shows  an  increase  of  $673,075,  or  26.4  per  cent,  in 
value  in  1909  as  compared  with  1904,  but  a decrease 
of  18,550,303  pounds,  or  7.7  per  cent,  in  quantity,  and 
that  of  offal,  which  consists  mainly  of  bran  and  mid- 
dlings, the  by-products  of  the  flour  mills,  an  increase 
of  $165,420,  or  3.8  per  cent,  in  value,  but  a decrease 
of  42,683  tons,  or  16.5  per  cent,  in  quantity.  The 
output  of  corn  meal  and  corn  flour  decreased  329,422 
barrels,  or  30.8  per  cent,  in  quantity,  and  $150,280,  or 
6.5  per  cent,  in  value.  The  value  of  products  for  the 
industiy  as  a whole  shows  an  increase  from  $39,892,127

The  flour  nulls  and  gristmills  of  the  state  reported 
n 1909,  3,47  7 pairs  of  rolls  as  compared  with  4,008 
pairs  in  1904  and  3,008  pairs  in  1899,  and  416  runs  of 
stone  and  steel  burrs,  as  against  296  in  1904  and  307 
in  1899.  Fifty-nine  establishments  manufactured  the 
barrels  in  which  to  ship  their  product  in  1909,  and  3 
manufactured  sacks. 

Soap. — In  the  next  table  the  quantity  and  cost  of 
the  principal  materials  used  in  making  soap  and  the 
quantity  and  value  of  the  chief  products  are  shown. 

The  quantity  of  tallow,  grease,  and  other  fats  used 
shows  a decrease  in  1909  as  compared  with  1904  of 
31.1  per  cent;  that  of  cottonseed  oil,  a decrease  of  81.3 
percent;  and  that  of  caustic  soda,  a decrease  of  21.2 
per  cent.  On  the  other  hand,  the  quantity  of  cocoa- 
nut  and  palm-kernel  oil  used  increased  108.3  percent; 
that  of  foots,  60.1  per  cent;  and  that  of  soda  ash,  61 
per  cent.  The  materials  included  under  the  head  of 
“All  other  materials”  show  an  increase  of  $5,719,088, 
or  376.1  per  cent,  in  cost,  due  largely  to  the  fact  that 
under  this  head  are  included  the  cost  of  the  principal 
materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  cottolene,  of  which 
a considerable  amount  was  produced  in  Illinois  as  a 
secondary  product  in  1909  by  establishments  classified 
as  engaged  in  the  soap  industry. 

The  output  of  hard  soaps,  which  constitute  the  most 
important  class  of  products  of  the  industry,  was 
55,646,050  pounds,  or  28.1  per  cent,  greater  in  1909 
than  in  1904.  Of  the  total  increase  of  $6,024,091,  or 
42.6  per  cent,  in  the  value  of  products  for  the  industry, 
a little  more  than  two-thirds  represented  the  increase  in

tho  value  of  hard  soaps  produced.  The  quantity  of 
soft  soap  manufactured  in  1909  was  more  than  thir- 
teen times  that  reported  for  1904  and  its  value  more 
tlxan  live  times  that  reported  for  the  earlier  year.  The 
quantity  of  glycerin  manufactured  in  1909  was  nearly 
double  that  made  in  1904,  and  its  value  shows  an  in- 
crease of  130.8  ])er  cent.

Increases  occurred  during  the  decade  in  both  tho 
nambor  and  the  value  of  ail  kinds  of  pianos  and  organs 


manufactured  except  rood  organs,  wliich  show  de- 
creases in  both  respects  from  1904  to  1909.  The 
player  pianos,  which  increased  in  number  from  25  in 
1904  to  4,470  in  1909,  are  now  being  manufactured  in 
far  greater  number  than  tho  detached  jiiano  players, 
wliich  decreased  in  number  from  2,647  in  1904  to  464 
in  1909.  The  number  of  upright  pianos  manufactured 
without  the  jilayor  attachment  was  73,874  in  1904  and 
103,433  in  1909,  an  increase  of  29,559,  or  40  per  cent, 
while  tho  value  of  the  output  increased  37.7  per  cent 
during  this  interval.  From  1904  to  1909  the  num- 
ber of  grand  pianos  manufactured  mcreased  from 
238  to  380  and  the  number  of  pipe  organs  from  140 
to  154. 

Butter,  cheese,  and  condensed  milk. — The  butter, 
cheese,  and  condensed-milk  industry,  although  show- 
ing a decrease  since  1904  of  110,  or  27.2  per  cent,  in 
the  number  of  establishments,  shows  an  increase  of 
$4,521,745,  or  34.1  per  cent,  in  the  total  value  of 
products. 

In  Illinois,  as  in  most  other  states  where  dairying 
is  carried  on  extensively,  the  total  amount  of  milk 
used  in  this  industry  has  decreased  and  the  total 
amount  of  cream  has  increased.  This  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  a large  part  of  the  cream  used  is  now  sepa- 
rated on  the  farms  instead  of  at  the  factories,  and  only 
the  cream  is  sold,  instead  of  the  whole  milk,  as  for- 
merly. This  decrease  in  the  amoimt  of  milk  bought 
by  the  butter  factories  has  been  counteracted  to  some 
extent  by  the  rapid  growth  in  the  demand  on  the  part 
of  the  condensed-milk  factories,  which  necessarily  use 
whole  milk.  The  net  result  has  been  a decrease  of 
12.7  per  cent  in  the  amount  of  milk  bought. 

The  following  table  gives  in  detail  tho  quantity  and 
value  of  the  products  of  the  industry  for  1909,  1904,

The  quantity  of  butter  produced  in  factories  luus 
showji  a marked  decrease  at  each  of  the  last  two  cen- 
suses. In  1899  the  quantity  produced  was  34,055,312 
pounds,  but  by  1909  it  had  decreased  to  24,570,976 
pounds,  a loss  of  9,484,336  pouzids,  or  27.8  per  cent. 
The  value  of  the  output,  on  the  other  hand,  although  it 
decreased  a little  between  1899  and  1904,  increased  dur- 
ing the  next  five-year  period.  In  1899  the  total  value 
was  $6,891 ,033,  but  in  1909  it  was  $7,088,414,  an  increase 
of  $197,381,  or  2.9  per  cent,  for  the  decade  as  a whole. 
A decrease  of  27.8  per  cent  in  quantity  has  thus  been 
accompanied  by  an  increase  of  2.9  percent  in  value. 

The  total  value  of  the  cheese-factory  products  de- 
creased from  $643,681  in  1899  to  $429,187  in  1904  and 
increased  during  the  following  five  years  to  $527,287. 
Tlie  total  output  of  all  kinds  of  cheese  in  1909 
amounted  to  4,799,235  pounds,  representing  a decrease 
of  47  per  cent  as  compared  with  1899,  when  it  was 
9,055,119  pounds. 

There  were  15  condensed-milk  factories  in  Illinois 
in  1904  and  27  in  1909.  In  1909  the  total  value  of  the 
condensed-milk  product,  including  both  sweetened  and 
unsweetened,  formed  48.2  per  cent  of  the  state  total 
for  the  combined  industry.  For  both  kinds  of  con- 
densed milk  combined  there  was  an  increase  from  1899 
to  1904  of  31.1  per  cent  in  quantity  and  of  55.1  per 
cent  in  value,  while  the  corresponding  gains  for  the 
five-year  period  1904-1909  were  22.6  percent  and  26.4 
per  cent,  respectively.

1904  and  1909,  and  the  number  of  pairs  of  slippers, 
exclusive  of  infants’  slippers,  increased  13,432,  or  5.1 
per  cent.  Increases  in  the  production  of  men’s  and  of 
boys’  and  youths’  boots  and  shoes  are  shown  for  both 
five-year  periods,  while  decreases  are  shown  for  the 
two  five-year  periods  in  the  output  of  misses’  and 
children’s  boots  and  shoes.  A decrease  in  the  output 
of  women’s  boots  and  shoes  occurred  between  1899 
and  1904,  but  an  increase  took  place  between  1904 
and  1909.  In  the  latter  period  there  was  a decrease 
of  56,369  pairs,  or  25.8  per  cent,  in  the  production 
of  women’s,  misses’,  and  childi’en’s  shppers,  but  an 


increase  of  69,801  pairs,  or  162  per  cent,  in  the  produc-

wire-screw  or  metal-fastened.  The  greater  part  of  the 
men’s  boots  and  shoes  (77.8  per  cent)  were  made  by 
the  machine  or  hand-welt  method,  while  most  of  the 
boys’  and  youths’  boots  and  shoes  (92.1  per  cent)  and 
the  greater  part  of  the  women’s,  misses’,  and  children’s

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


This  table  shows  an  increase  of  48.4  per  cent  from 
1904  to  1909  in  the  total  cost  of  materials  used,  as 
compared  with  an  increase  of  41.3  per  cent  from  1899 
to  1 904.  There  was  a decrease  during  each  of  the  five- 
year  periods  in  the  number  of  hides  used,  but  an  in- 
crease in  their  total  cost.  Largo  increases  are  shown 
for  both  five-year  periods  in  the  number  and  cost  of  calf 
and  kip  skins  treated,  while  for  sheepskins  increases  are 
shown  for  the  earlier  period  only,  although  both  the 
number  and  the  value  of  the  sheepskins  used  in  1909 
were  materially  larger  than  in  1899. 

Uio  total  value  of  products  increased  38.6  per  cent 
from  1904  to  1909  and  37.1  per  cent  from  1899  to  1904. 
Tanned  and  finished  calf  and  kip  skins  were  the  lead- 
ing products,  on  the  basis  of  value,  at  each  census, 
contributing  47.4  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  all  the 
products  of  the  industry  in  1909.  The  value  of  grain, 
satin,  pebble,  and  similar  upper  leathers,  the  class  of 
products  second  in  importance  in  this  respect,  formed 
only  20.5  per  cent  of  the  total  value  of  products  in  1909. 
The  relative  increase  in  value  from  1904  to  1909  was 
greater  for  leather  of  this  class,  however,  than  for  any 
other,  amounting  to  269.3  per  cent.  The  output 
shows  an  increase  of  155.5  per  cent  in  1909  as' com- 
pared with  1904,  although  practically  the  same  as  in 
1899.  The  greatest  relative  increase  in  output  for  the 
five-year  period  1904-1909  (281.2  per  cent),  was  re- 
ported for  finished  sphts  of  upper  leather,  which,  how- 
ever, show  a decrease  of  37.1  per  cent  in  1909  as  com- 
pared with  1899.  Sheepskins  and  horsehides  increased 
in  number  and  value  from  1899  to  1904  and  decreased 
in  both  respects  from  1904  to  1909,  the  output  of 
sheepskins  in  1909  being  somewhat  less  than  in  1899, 
while  that  of  horsehides  was  slightly  greater. 

laundries. — Statistics  for  steam  laundries  are  not 
included  in  the  general  tables  or  in  the  totals  for  manu- 
facturing industries.  There  were  448  such  establish- 
ments in  the  state  of  Illinois,  226  of  which  were  in 
Chicago,  8 in  Rockford,  7 each  in  Evanston  and  Peoria, 
6 each  in  Decatur  and  Springfield,  and  5 each  m Aurora, 
Moline,  Quincy,  and  Rock  Island.  No  other  incorpo- 
rated place  of  10,000  inhabitants  or  over  had  as  many 
as  5 steam  laundries. 

The  following  statement  summarizes  the  statistics:

for  work  done  in  the  state,  $7,108,126,  or  70.7  per  cent. 


were  reported  from  Chicago.  The  most  common 
form  of  ownership  was  the  individual,  with  250  estab- 
lishments. The  firm  and  the  corporate  forms  of 
ownership  were  represented  by  100  and  98  establish- 
ments, respectively.  Ninety-nine  establishments  had 
receipts  for  the  year’s  business  of  less  than  $5,000; 
209,  receipts  of  $5,000  but  less  than  $20,000;  130, 
receipts  of  $20,000  but  less  than  $100,000;  and  10, 
receipts  of  $100,000  but  less  than  $1,000,000. 

The  average  number  of  wage  earners  employed  each 
month  and  the  percentage  which  this  number  repre- 
sented of  the  greatest  number  employed  in  any  one 
month  were  as  follows:

MINES  AND  QUAIIKIES. 


Introduction. — Tho  present  chapter  contains  a com- 
plete statement  of  the  statistics  of  all  mining  indus- 
tries, which  include  all  mines,  quarries,  and  wells,  in 
the  state  of  Illinois  for  the  year  1909,  as  shown  by  the 
Thirteenth  Census. 

A brief  explanation  of  the  scope  of  the  census  of 
mining  industries  and  of  the  terms  used,  in  so  far  as 
the  usage  differs  from  that  followed  in  the  census  of 
manufactures,  is  presented  below  in  order  to  prevent 
any  misinterpretation  of  the  statistics. 

The  explanations  here  given  show  the  usage  of  the 
mining  census  generally,  though  some  of  the  special 
rules  have  obviously  no  relation  to  particular  states 
in  which  the  industries  referred  to  do  not  exist. 

Scope  of  census. — The  Thirteenth  Census  covered  all  classes  of 
mines,  quarries,  and  petroleum  and  gas  wells  that  were  in  operation 
during  any  portion  of  the  year  1909,  both  those  which  were  produc- 
ing and  those  whose  operations  were  confined  to  development 
work.  Mines,  quarries,  or  wells  that  were  idle  during  the  entire 
year  1909  were  omitted  from  the  canvass.  The  following  operations 
were  likewise  omitted  from  the  canvass:  Prospecting;  the  digging 
or  dredging  of  sand  and  gravel  for  the  construction  of  roads  and  for 
building  operations;  the  production  of  mineral  waters;  and  the 
operation  of  small  bituminous  coal  banks  producing  less  than  1,000 
tons  annually.  Where  the  mineral  products  are  not  marketed  in 
their  crude  condition,  but  are  dressed  or  washed  at  the  mine  or 
quarry,  the  statistics  of  mining  cover  the  entire  work  of  obtaining 
the  crude  material  and  its  preparation  for  the  market. 

Period  covered. — The  returns  cover  the  calendar  year  1909,  or  the 
business  year  which  corresponds  most  nearly  to  that  calendar  year. 
The  statistics  cover  a year’s  operations,  except  for  enterprises 
which  began  or  discontinued  business  during  the  year. 

Number  of  operators. — ^As  a rule,  the  unit  of  enumeration  was  the 
“operator.”  Every  individual,  firm,  or  corporation  was  required 
to  furnish  one  report  for  all  mines,  quarries,  or  wells  which  were 
operated  under  the  same  management  or  for  which  one  set  of 
books  of  account  was  kept.  Separate  reports  were  obtained  for  all 
properties  operated  in  different  states,  even  where  they  were  owned 
by  the  same  operator.  Likewise,  where  the  operations  of  one 
individual,  firm,  or  corporation  covered  more  than  one  class  of 
mines  and  quarries,  such  as  coal,  iron,  limestone,  etc.,  a separate 
report  was  received  for  each  industry. 

Number  of  mines,  quarries,  and  wells. — This  figure  represents 
the  total  number  of  mines  and  quarries  in  operation  or  in  the  course 
of  development  at  any  time  during  the  calendar  year  1909,  or  the 
business  year  that  corresponds  most  nearly  to  that  calendar  year, 
and  the  number  of  completed  petroleum  and  natural-gas  wells  in 
operation  on  Dece'mber  31,  1909. 

In  most  mining  and  quarrying  industries  the  number  of  mines 
or  quarries  varies  but  little  from  the  number  of  operators. 

Expenses  of  operation  and  development.— A certain  amount  of 
development  work  is  incidental  to  the  operation  of  every  mine. 
The  expenses  reported  for  producing  mines  include  the  cost  both 
of  operation  and  of  development  work  which  was  done  in  connection 
with  operation. 


Wages. — The  amount  shown  as  wages  includes  only  the  com- 
pensation of  regular  wage  earners  hired  by  the  day,  week,  or  month, 
or  under  the  piecework  system. 

Supplies  and  materials. — This  item  includes  the  cost  of  lumber 
and  timber  used  for  repairs,  mine  supports,  track  ties,  etc.;  iron 
and  steel  for  blacksmithing;  rails,  frogs,  sleepers,  etc.,  for  tracks  and 
repairs;  renewals  of  tools  and  machinery  and  materials  for  repairs; 
and  supplies,  explosives,  oil,  etc.,  as  well  as  the  cost  of  fuel  and  the 
rent  of  power.  The  schedule  called  only  for  the  cost  of  such  supplies 
and  materials  as  had  been  used  during  the  year  covered  by  the 
report.  Accurate  figures,  however,  could  be  furnished  only  in  those 
cases  where  the  operators  kept  an  account  of  supplies  and  materials 
used,  or  had  an  inventory  made  of  all  in  stock  at  the  beginning  and 
at  the  end  of  the  year.  Such  a system  of  accounting  is  far  from 
general  among  mine  operators,  and  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  in 
many  cases  the  reported  cost  of  supplies  and  materials  covered  all 
purchased  during  the  year  rather  than  those  used  during  the  year. 
The  crude  product  of  some  operators  was  purchased  by  others  for 
further  dressing  or  refining;  the  cost  of  such  materials  is  shown 
separately  in  the  general  table. 

Capital. — The  census  schedule  required  every  operator  to  state 
the  total  amount  of  capital  invested  in  the  enterprise  on  the  last  day 
of  the  business  year  reported,  as  shown  by  his  books.  There  is, 
however,  a great  diversity  in  the  methods  of  bookkeeping  in  use  by 
different  operators.  As  a result,  the  statistics  for  capital  lack  uni- 
formity. Some  of  the  figures  reported  apparently  represent  capital 
stock  at  face  value;  others  include  large  investments  in  mineral 
lands  which  are  not  at  present  being  actively  mined,  but  are  held  in 
reserve;  still  others  may  include  expenditures  for  unproductive 
mining  ventures  in  no  way  related  to  the  operations  carried  on 
during  the  census  year. 

Persons  engaged  in  mining  industries. — The  statistics  of  the  num- 
ber of  operators  and  officials,  clerks,  and  wage  earners,  are  based 
on  the  returns  for  December  15,  or  the  nearest  representative  day. 
The  reported  number  of  wage  earners  includes  overseers  and  fore- 
men performing  work  similar  to  that  of  the  men  over  whom  they 
have  charge;  those  whose  duties  are  wholly  supervisory  are  classed 
as  superintendents  and  managers.  Because  of  the  common  practice 
of  shutting  down  mines  at  frequent  intervals,  it  is  impossible  to 
ascertain  with  any  satisfactory  degree  of  accuracy  the  average  num- 
ber of  employees — that  is,  the  number  who,  if  continuously  em- 
ployed, would  lie  required  to  produce  the  actual  output  of  the  year. 

Value  of  products. — Statistics  of  the  value  of  mineral  products 
were  obtained  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in  cooperation  with  the 
United  States  Geological  Survey,  but  the  two  bureaus  follow  dif- 
ferent methods  in  presenting  these  statistics.  The  Geological  Sur- 
vey shows  separately  the  value  of  each  mineral  product,  whereas 
the  Bureau  of  the  Census  presents  the  value  of  products  of  each 
mining  industry.  The  value  of  products  given  for  a mining  indus- 
try often  includes  the  value  of  some  products  not  covered  by  the  in- 
dustry designation.  The  crude  product  of  metalliferous  mines  may 
include  varying  combinations  of  metals,  siich  as  gold,  silver,  copper, 
lead,  zinc,  and  iron.  Similarly,  the  total  value  of  all  products  of 
the  granite  quarries  is  not  identical  with  the  value  of  the  total  out- 
put of  granite,  but  may  include  the  value  of  some  marble  or  other 
stone  quarried  in  connection  with  the  principal  product. 

The  value  of  products  for  1909  in  most  cases  represents  the  value 
of  the  products  marketed  during  that  year,  not  the  value  of  those 
mined  during  that  year.

SUPPLEMENT  FOR  ILLINOIS. 


MINING  IN  ILLINOIS. 


Summary. — Statistics  for  all  mining  enterprises  in 
the  state  of  Illinois  arc  presented  in  Table  7,  which 
gives  statistics  for  all  mdustries  combined  and  for 
producing  enterprises  separately  in  all  cases  where 
the  statistics  could  bo  given  without  disclosing  the 
operations  of  an  individual  enterprise.  Statistics 
for  nonproducing  enterprises  are  also  given  separately 
from  produemg  eiiterprises. 

Illinois  ranked  second  among  the  states  in  the 
value  of  the  products  of  muihig  industries  in  1909, 
Pennsylvania  being  the  only  state  to  report  products 
of  greater  value.  The  gross  value  of  the  products 
for  the  state  was  $76,658,974.  Deducting  from  this 
amount,  $101,980,  the  value  of  the  lead  and  zinc  ore 
and  natural  gas  sold  by  some  operators  and  used  as 
materials  or  resold  by  others,  leaves  $76,556,994  as 
the  net  value  of  the  products.  The  principal  industry 
was  bituminous  coal  mining,  which  reported  products 
valued  at  $53,030,545.  This  figure  represents  69.3 
per  cent  of  the  total  net  value  of  the  products  of  all 
mines,  quarries,  and  wells.  The  value  of  the  products 
of  petroleum  and  natural  gas  wells,  the  industry  sec- 
ond in  importance,  amounted  to  $18,883,102. 

For  the  five  enterprises  shown  in  the  column  "All 
other,”  in  Table  7,  the  expenses  of  operation  and 
development  exceeded  the  value  of  the  products. 
This  Was  due  in  part  to  unprofitable  mining  ventures 
and  in  part  to  expenditures  for  development  work 
resulting  in  permanent  improvements  to  the  mining 
properties. 

Character  of  organization. — Table  1 classifies  the 
produchig  mining  operations  of  the  state  under  form 
of  organization,  distinguishing  corporations  from 
individual  owners  and  firms,  while  Table  2 gives 
further  details  for  incorporated  enterprises  distin- 
guished from  those  which  are  unincorporated.

STATISTICS  OF  MINES  AND  QUARRIES. 


Persons  employed  in  mining. — Of  the  86,389  persons 
engaged  in  producing  mines  in  1909,  82,436  were 
wage  earners,  2,528  salaried  employees,  and  1,425 
proprietors  or  firm  members.  Of  the  last  class,  401 
performed  manual  labor  in  or  about  the  mines.  Coal 
mining,  the  leading  industry,  employed  74,445,  or 
90.3  per  cent  of  all  wage  earners. 

Prevailing  hours  of  labor. — In  Table  4 all  producing 
mines  and  quarries,  except  those  employing  no  wage 
earners  and  those  operated  exclusively  by  contract  work 
and  part-time  employees,  have  been  classified  accord- 
ing to  the  prevailing  hours  of  labor  per  day  in  each 
enterprise  or  operating  unit.  Petroleum  and  natural 
gas  wells  are  not  included  in  this  table,  because  the 
lack  of  regularity  in  the  number  of  hours  worked  per 
day  in  a large  number  of  enterprises  rendered  such 
classification  hnpracticable.  The  table  shows  the 
percentage  of  the  total  number  of  enterprises  falling 
in  each  group,  and  also  a per  cent  distribution  in  which 
each  enterprise  has  been  given  a weight  according  to 
the  total  number  of  wage  earners  employed  December 
15,  1909,  or  the  nearest  representative  day.  It  should 
be  borne  in  mind  that  this  latter  distribution  does  not 
show  the  exact  proportion  of  the  total  number  of 
employees  working  the  specified  number  of  hours  per 
day,  since,  in  some  cases,  a part  of  the  employees  worked 
a greater  or  less  number  of  hours  than  those  generally 
prevail'mg  in  the  enterprise. 

For  all  industries  combined,  in  95  per  cent  of  the 
number  of  enterprises  weighted  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  wage  earners,  the  prevailing  hours  per  day  were 
eight  or  under.  For  bituminous  coal  mines  the  corre- 
sponding per  cent  was  99.9,  while  in  the  limestone 
quarries  only  1.7  per  cent  of  the  enterprises  were 
operated  on  this  basis.  In  this  industry  a day  of  10 
hours  prevailed  in  87.7  per  cent  of  the  enterprises.

Comparison  of  mining  industries:  1902-1909. — ^In 
order  to  make  comparisons  between  1909  and  1902  it 
is  necessary  to  omit  from  the  1902  figures,  as  given  in 
the  mines  and  quarries  report  for  that  year,  statistics 
for  the  production  of  cement  and  enterprises  operated 
by  governmental  institutions;  to  omit  from  the  1909 
figures,  as  they  appear  in  other  tables  in  this  chapter, 
the  value  of  the  by-products  of  bituminous  coal  mines, 
and  to  add  to  the  1909  statistics,  figures  for  the  produc- 
tion of  lime,  which  were  omitted  from  the  census  of 
mines  and  quarries  in  1909.  Such  items  as  are  com- 
parable for  the  two  years  are  presented  in  Table  6. 

The  greatest  relative  increase  in  the  value  of  prod- 
ucts from  1902  to  1909  was  in  the  value  of  petroleum 
and  natural  gas,  which  increased  in  the  eight  years 
from  $2,844  to  $18,895,815.  Another  important 
increase  was  in  the  value  of  bituminous  coal  from 
$33,945,910  to  $52,999,918.

Duplication  between  manufactures  and  mining. — In 
the  production  of  limestone,  peat,  and  sandstone 
some  of  the  operators  subjected  the  products  ob- 
tained to  certain  manufacturing  processes  on  the 
premises  before  marketing.  These  enterprises  have 
been  included  in  the  statistics  both  for  manufac- 
tures and  for  mining.  As  a result  of  this  fact,  the 
combined  value  of  products  for  the  manufacturing 
and  mining  industries  in  Illinois  involves  a duplication 
of  $577,428.

- Includes  $18,529,864  which  could  not  be  distributed  among  the  several  industries.  Exclusive  of  capital  wliich  could  not  bo  distributed  by  states  because  it  was  re- 
ported in  one  lump  sum  by  operators  having  raining  investments  in  two  or  more  states. 

3 In  some  cases  the  same  operator  conducted  two  or  more  enterprises  producing  dilTorent  kinds  of  products,  all  enterprises  being  managed  through  one  central  admin- 
istrative office.  The  total  office  expenses  were  accordingly  apportioned  among  the  several  industries  in  proportion  to  the  total  expenses  of  each  and  the  estimated 
amounts  of  such  administrative  expenses  were  added  to  “ Sundry  expenses  ” for  each  industry.  In  the  totals  for  all  enterprises,  however,  the  expenses  appear  under  the 
proper  headings.  The  amounts  included  in  “Rent  of  offices  and  other  sundry  expenses”  for  individual  industries  and  properly  distributed  iti  the  total  for  all  indus- 
tries are  as  follows:  Salaried  officers  of  corporations,  superintendents,  and  managers,  $202,242;  clerks  and  other  salaried  employees,  $118,988;  taxes,  $20,052;  and  contract 
work,  $16,700. 

< The  following  numbers  of  persons,  which  could  not  be  distributed  among  the  several  industries,  are  included  under  the  proper  headings  in  the  totals  for  all  enter- 
prises: Aggregate,  208;  salaried  officers  of  corporations,  35;  superintendents  and  managers,  29;  and  clerks  and  other  salaried  employees,  144.
